    Thiamin, also known as vitamin B1, is an essential vitamin that plays important roles in cellular metabolism. It is absorbed in the small intestine and transported throughout the body. A lack of thiamin can lead to various forms of beriberi, including dry beriberi affecting the nervous system, wet beriberi affecting the heart, and acute beriberi with rapid onset. Severe thiamin deficiency can also cause Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome, which involves neurological and cognitive impairment.
