What it is
Vitamin B1 is thiamine. In the body it takes part in everyday energy metabolism, the ordinary work of turning food energy into something cells can use.
The molecule has two rings joined by a short bridge, plus a side chain. That shape is thiamine, C₁₂H₁₇N₄OS⁺.
An older flyer once mislabeled this line as pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is vitamin B5. This page follows thiamine for B1.
