In this video, we’re going to talk about synthetic vitamins, specifically vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is incredibly important, especially when you’re doing keto and intermittent fasting.

Vitamin B1 protects the arteries from damage caused by high sugar and high insulin. It protects the myelin sheath in the nervous system, and can also help relieve the body of stress.

Peripheral neuropathy and other issues with the nervous system are common symptoms of a vitamin B1 deficiency. You can also develop problems in your arteries that can build up to a blood clot. Consuming sugar and refined grains can deplete vitamin B1.

Synthetic B1 is made from coal tar, ammonia, acetone, hydrochloric acid, and other synthetic chemicals. Synthetic B1 typically comes in the form of thiamine mononitrate or thiamine hydrochloride. 85% of the world’s B1 comes from China where it's very cheaply made. You can find this cheap, synthetic vitamin B1 in prenatal vitamins, children’s vitamins, infant formulas, and other standard multivitamins.

Generally speaking, synthetic vitamin B1 is only useful if you’re doing a detoxification or if you’re trying to improve symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Other than that, there is really no need for a “maintenance dose” of vitamin B1.

Nutritional yeast is one of the best natural sources of B vitamins, especially vitamin B1.

If you’re not sure if a vitamin is natural or synthetic, check the ingredients! Chemical names that don’t come from food are a tell-tale sign of synthetic vitamins.
