Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Diphosphate) Blood Test

Measures thiamine diphosphate, the active form of vitamin B1.

Measures

Thiamine diphosphate, the active form of vitamin B1.

Why it matters

Thiamine is required for converting carbohydrate into energy and for normal nerve function. Measuring the diphosphate form describes the active, usable fraction rather than total thiamine.

Requirements rise with carbohydrate intake and alcohol consumption affects status.

Before you collect

Note supplementation. Samples need prompt processing and light protection — collect at a centre rather than late in the day.

Suits

People assessing thiamine status with a practitioner.
