Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen Contains Thiamine (B1)
(*) See References and Disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
Our Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen contains thiamine (B1). Prolonged thiamine deficiency results in beriberi(1*), which is characterized by a loss of appetite, weight loss, mental confusion, muscle wasting, nerve damage, rapid heartbeat, an enlarged heart, and sometimes edema (swelling due to fluid buildup)(2*).
As with the B-complex vitamins, thiamine partners with other enzymes to manage the body's cellular activity(3*). It also plays a significant role in the nervous system's energy metabolism as it's needed to make ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is required by every cell in the body(4*).
Sources of Thiamine (B1)
Pork (Ham & Pork Chops), Sunflower Seeds, Soymilk, and our Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen.
