t serves as a coenzyme in various reactions, necessary for carbohydrate metabolism and normal
neural activity. Deficiency can result in beriberi and is a factor in alcoholic neuritis and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome; Thiamine Hydrochloride can be used to treat Vitamin B1 deficiency. With the
development of clinical pharmacology in recent years, Vitamin B1 is found to be helpful in treating
many other diseases. It is an essential ingredient for compound feed, and it may facilitate growth
of young animals. It is also used a nutritional supplement in sports drinks.
