Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is crucial for normal nerve function, which directly impacts the senses, particularly the nervous system pathways involved in vision, touch, and proprioception. Scientific evidence primarily links thiamine deficiency to neurological disorders such as beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, both of which feature sensory disturbances including vision problems, impaired coordination, and neuropathy. While thiamine supplementation is clearly effective in preventing and treating such deficiency-related sensory symptoms, there is limited evidence supporting its use to enhance sensory function in individuals with adequate thiamine status. Most research focuses on deficiency states rather than supplementation in healthy populations. Therefore, while the scientific basis for thiamine's role in supporting the senses is established in the context of deficiency, the evidence for benefits in non-deficient individuals is weak. The rating reflects strong evidence for correction of deficiency-related sensory issues, but insufficient support for routine use in otherwise healthy people for sensory enhancement.
