Improves appetite
A new study has found that Vitamin B1 may help to improve appetite. The study looked at the effects of this vitamin on a group of rats. The rats were divided into two groups, with one group receiving a high dose of Vitamin B1 and the other group receiving a low dose. (5)
The researchers found that the rats who received the high dose of the vitamin ate more than those in the low-dose group. They also found that the rats who received the high dose had higher levels of a hormone called ghrelin, which is known to stimulate appetite.
These findings suggest that Vitamin B1 may be a helpful treatment for people who are struggling to eat enough due to an illness or condition that causes them to have a reduced appetite.
