Thiamine also known as thiamin or vitamin B1 is a vitamin found in food and used as a dietary supplement.  Thiamine is a heat labile and water soluble essential vitamin belonging to the vitamin B family, with antioxidant, erythropoietic, mold modulating and glucose regulating activities.

Thiamine reacts with adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)  to form an active co-enzyme, thymine pry phosphate.  Thiamine plays a key role in the inter cellular glucose metabolism and may inhibit action of glucose and insulin on arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation.Thiamine may also protect against lead toxicity by inhibiting lead induced lipid per-oxidation.

Thiamine is essential for growth and development and  good in maintenance of nervous tissues.
