Vitamin B1 and Stuttering

Vitamin B1 and Stuttering Vitamin B1 is an essential vitamin that the body needs for a variety of important functions. Every human needs vitamin B1, and a lack of vitamin B1 can cause a variety of problems, including lazy eye, heart failure, and problems in the nervous system. In February of this year, I decided to finally start trying high dose vitamin B1 intake after hearing rumors of people using high doses in order to personally fix their own speech impediments online. To my complete surprise, my stuttering began to reduce and stuttering is no longer a problem for me. It sounds like some sort of fantasy, especially for those who have tried anything to correct their stutter, but I assure you I'm telling the truth. I still occasionally stutter, but it's incredibly rare. I've also noticed if I forget to take my vitamin B1 doses, I'll start to regain my stutter in about a week, generally speaking. I do believe that low dose vitamin B1 either has a significantly reduced positive impact on my stutter or it does not absorb at therapeutic levels once digested. This could explain why some researchers have found that vitamin B1 doesn't work -- it's possible that people are simply not given high enough doses for any positive therapeutic effect to be noticed. Vitamin B1 is a water soluble vitamin, and water soluble high doses will rarely, if ever, cause harm unless your kidneys are severely and noticeably damaged. >Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is a compound necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates and cellular energy supply, in particular for the central nervous system. It has been claimed that supplement of thiamine can reduce stuttering in some cases, which makes it relevant to discuss in this context. Thiamine serves as a cofactor for several enzymes, mostly with mitochondrial localization (Dhir et al., 2019; Encyclopedia Britannica, 2021). Deficiencies in thiamine intake, or genetic disorders of transportation or metabolism of thiamine, can result in a wide range of disorders, often involving nervous tissues (McCandless, 2009; Marcé-Grau et al., 2019). More recently, developmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and delayed language development have been associated as possible effects of thiamine deficiency (Fattal-Valevski et al., 2009; Dhir et al., 2019). Some genetic defects of thiamine transport and metabolism result in specific neurological symptoms, such as degeneration of the striatum and generalized dystonia (Marcé-Grau et al., 2019).
