🔑 Power Pair #12: Thiamine (B1) + Magnesium — The Metabolism Ignition Duo

Some nutrient pairs support calm, some support immunity — this one supports activation.

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Magnesium work together to flip the metabolic “ON” switch that helps your body turn food into usable energy.

If you’ve ever felt sluggish after meals, foggy during the day, or like your energy doesn’t match your nutrition, this duo is often part of the story.

Individually, they’re essential.

Together, they’re the spark and the fuel.

⚡ Why They’re Stronger Together

Thiamine and Magnesium share the same metabolic pathways — and neither can do its job without the other.

Here’s the synergy:

- Thiamine helps convert carbohydrates into energy

- Magnesium activates the enzymes that thiamine depends on

- Magnesium also helps transport thiamine into cells, where it actually works

- Together, they support:

- steady energy

- mental clarity

- carbohydrate metabolism

- nervous system function

- stress resilience

When magnesium is low, thiamine can’t activate — a classic example of “the nutrient is there, but the system can’t use it.”

🍽️ Simple Food Combos That Deliver
