Thiamine Deficiency Testing: Understanding the Labs

[Kia17]

“Measuring blood thiamine or B1 concentrations is the laboratory test that is commonly offered by doctors. It is only helpful in extreme cases and is usually in the normal range even when there is clinically demonstrable abnormal body chemistry. The reason for this is that thiamine does its work inside cells and has no effect outside them. When we get this vitamin from our natural food, it goes through a very important genetically determined process to enter our cells.”

I just searched this test where I live and it’s not one we can easily get without being referred by a chemical pathologist, whatever that is!
