Vitamin B1 – Insect repellant

Vitamin B1 – thiamine –

Thiamin may enhance circulation, helps with blood formation and the metabolism of carbohydrates. It is also required for the health of the nervous system and is used in the biosynthesis of a number of cell constituents. It is used in the manufacture of hydrochloric acid, and therefore plays a part in digestion.

It is also great for the brain and may help with moderate depression and assist with memory and learning. In children it is required for growth and has shown some indication to assist in arthritis, cataracts as well as infertility.

It is thought that thiamin can be useful for motion sickness in air and sea travel, and that this vitamin also repels insects when excreted through the skin. Add a 200mg capsule of B1 to fend off mosquito bites. B1 makes your skin smell unpleasant to insects, with no perceptible smell to humans!
