The Importance of Thiamine Deficiency
Thiamine, or Vitamin B1, is crucial for the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system and various bodily functions. Deficiencies in this vitamin can lead to symptoms associated with conditions like POTS, anxiety, and gastrointestinal issues, often overlapping with other health problems like SIBO or chronic fatigue.
