1. is it possible to overdose on thiamine?
Many people wonder whether thiamine can be overdosed. Due to the consumption of a lot of foods containing vitamin B1, this is not possible. The human organism takes the amount of thiamine that is needed, the excess is excreted directly through the urinary tract. An overdose of thiamine can only occur if vitamin B1 is taken in the form of capsules or tablets in much too high quantities over a long period of time. This can result in headaches, sweating and itching.
2. How much thiamine should one take in daily?
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily dose of 1-1.3 mg of vitamin B1 for adults. Women during pregnancy are recommended a daily amount of 1.2 mg of vitamin B1. For a young child, the recommended amounts are naturally lower. The requirement may be slightly increased when taking the contraceptive pill or alcoholism. Those who do not take enough vitamins and nutrients are at risk of vitamin B1 deficiency. The stores in the human organism are limited, for this reason a daily supply of vitamin B1 is very important. Age, sex, weight, height and metabolic situation play an essential role.

Thiamine is responsible for many different tasks:
