Energy Conversion & Nerve Function
Thiamine (B1) helps convert carbohydrates into energy, making it essential for aerobic performance and endurance. It also supports nerve function and muscle coordination - both of which are crucial during high-volume or high-intensity training.
Thiamine deficiency, though rare, can lead to fatigue, poor mood, and sluggish performance. For hybrid athletes, thiamine keeps the energy engine running smoothly and helps maintain a strong mind-muscle connection.
In short: Converts carbs to energy and supports brain-muscle coordination.
