Introduction. Thiamine is required by all tissues and must be ingested in the diet. Thiamine requirements increase with total calorie intake, when the diet is rich in carbohydrate, and when basal metabolism is increased, such as in alcohol withdrawal (Sechi and Serra, 2007; Mancinelli and Ceccanti, 2009).
Thiamine deficiency can result in a form of dementia. The relationship of thiamine to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia has been studied. However, there is still controversy over whether thiamine supplementation may benefit people with Alzheimer's disease.
