#576: Vitamin B1: The Unsung Hero of Energy and Nerve Health

Vitality Radio Podcast with Jared St. Clair

About

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared dives deep into one of the most overlooked yet essential nutrients: vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. While other B vitamins often take the spotlight, B1 is critical for energy production, nerve function, and overall resilience. Jared explains why not all forms of B1 are created equal, highlighting the difference between standard water-soluble versions and the more bioavailable fat-soluble forms such as benfotiamine and sulbutiamine. You’ll learn how benfotiamine supports nerve health and circulation, while sulbutiamine penetrates the brain to deliver steady energy and focus without the jitters or crash of stimulants. Drawing from history, research, and his own formulating experience, Jared shares how these powerful forms of B1 help protect against sugar damage, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance everyday vitality. Whether you struggle with fatigue, nerve challenges, or simply want more consistent energy, understanding the right form of vitamin B1 could be a game-changer.
