Hey guys, today we're going to talk about vitamin B deficiency.

This is actually way more common than you might think.

The problem is when you do testing on this, a lot of times you won't show up in the

blood because the problem or the defect is in the enzyme that allows B1 to work.

If you wanted to get it tested, the enzyme you would get tested for would be transketolase.

It's just an enzyme that works with B1 in doing its function.

The problem is trying to find a lab that will test it's quite difficult, but anyway,

here's what B1 does generally.

It does a lot of things, but it's involved in five different enzymes, it's a co-factor

in five enzymes.

Enzymes are the things that do the work in the body.

They're the workhorse.

It's involved in all sorts of bio, body, chemistry, or chemical reactions, especially in the

mitochondria, which is an energy factory.

B1 is essential to make those enzymes work.

If you're deficient in B1, the enzymes don't work and you're going to get fatigue is probably

the most common symptom.

When you take vitamin B1, it seems to bring your energy right up most of the time.

Instead of going out and getting a test, it's much cheaper just to take B1 and see if you

feel better.

Your chances are you're going to feel better.

In the next section, I'll talk about where to get B1 and how much to take, but in this
