Vitamin B1 / Thiamine Mononitrate

In chemical terms, Vitamin B1 consists of pyrimidine and thiazole moieties linked by a methylene bridge. Isolated and in the pure form of chloride, it is very hygroscopic, which is why the mononitrate salt is usually used. Thiamine hydrochloride is also commonly available.

Main function

Carbohydrate metabolism

Biological functions

The main functions of thiamine are connected to its role as a coenzyme in the form of thiamine pyrophosphate, which is involved in about 25 enzymatic reactions.

• Carbohydrate metabolism, especially the breakdown of glucose into energy
• Activation of the key enzyme, which is involved in the production of compounds such as ATP, GTP, NADPH and nucleic acids DNA and RNA
• Synthesis of acetylcholine, essential for the transmission of nervous impulses

Benefits for the animal

More efficient use of carbohydrates as energy, improved performance, particularly in genetic chains with high meat yield.
