) is associated with better lower-limb physical performance and lean body mass in older adults.
Thiamine (as thiamine pyrophosphate) is a mandatory cofactor for enzymes that metabolize glucose, lipids, and branched-chain amino acids (from protein). Physical Performance: High protein intake ( Role of dietary protein and thiamine intakes on...
No evidence supports that specific protein sources, such as different types of meat, have a unique impact on cognition. ) is associated with better lower-limb physical performance
While some cross-sectional studies suggested better cognition with higher thiamine, the overall data remains inconclusive due to a lack of experimental trials. such as different types of meat
There is currently weak evidence linking higher protein or thiamine intake directly to better cognitive performance in healthy older adults.
Thiamine acts as an antioxidant and essential regulator , supporting DNA repair and reducing oxidative stress in cells.
