Experiencing fatigue, muscle weakness, or neurological symptoms and want assessment of energy metabolism and thiamine status for optimal health?

The Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Blood Test measures levels of thiamine, a vitamin that helps your body convert food into energy and supports nerve and heart function. Low B1 can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, nerve problems, and in severe cases heart complications. Adequate levels are important for energy and overall health.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of Vitamin B1 as your body's essential energy converter – it's the vitamin that transforms the carbohydrates you eat into fuel for your brain, heart, and muscles. This test measures your thiamine levels to see how well your body is managing this crucial conversion process, much like checking whether your car's engine is getting the right fuel mixture to run smoothly.

When your B1 levels are too low, your body's energy production system starts to break down, leading to fatigue, muscle weakness, heart problems, and even neurological issues like memory troubles or nerve damage. This test is especially valuable if you're experiencing unexplained tiredness, muscle weakness, or cognitive fog, or if you have conditions that put you at higher risk for deficiency, such as alcohol use disorders, digestive problems, or poor nutrition. By catching B1 deficiency early, you can address it with proper supplementation before it leads to more serious complications, helping restore your body's natural energy production and keeping your nervous system running at its best.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with fatigue, neurological symptoms, suspected thiamine deficiency, or anyone needing comprehensive energy metabolism assessment.

Questions

  • Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is essential for energy metabolism, nervous system function, muscle function including the heart, and brain function, particularly in carbohydrate metabolism.
  • Signs include fatigue, muscle weakness, neurological symptoms, memory problems, heart palpitations, and in severe cases, beriberi or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
  • Causes include alcoholism, poor dietary intake, malabsorption disorders, increased needs during illness or pregnancy, and certain medications that interfere with thiamine absorption.
  • High-risk groups include people with alcoholism, eating disorders, malabsorption conditions, elderly individuals, and those with poor dietary intake or increased metabolic demands.
  • Good sources include whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, pork, fish, and fortified cereals, with processing and cooking reducing thiamine content.
  • Daily requirements vary but generally range from 1.0-1.2mg for adults, with higher needs during pregnancy, breastfeeding, illness, or periods of high energy expenditure.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all B-vitamin supplements and medications that might affect thiamine levels or metabolism.

After the test

Address thiamine deficiency through appropriate supplementation, dietary improvements including thiamine-rich foods, addressing underlying causes, and regular monitoring to ensure adequate levels.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show thiamine levels compared to normal ranges. Low levels indicate deficiency requiring supplementation and investigation of underlying causes affecting thiamine status.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.
