Known as thiamine, vitamin B1 was isolated in 1926. By 1936, chemists had accomplished the synthesis and determined its chemical formula.
B1 is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies. In one United State Department of Agriculture study, it was reported that 45 percent of America consumes less than the RDA for B1.
