Low Thiamine levels = Beri Beri. A disease as old as ancient China and 19th century Holland. I had Beri Beri when I was living in Singapore in the mid 90s. “SC2 can cause low thiamine due to various factors and lead to many possible problems in LC.” #GetItChecked

Seeing a lot of broken and fractured bones posts. SC2 can cause low thiamine due to various factors and lead to many possible problems in LC. An additional factor in weakened bones may be malabsorption of nutrients like thiamine and others on top of a chronic infection and autoimmune processes. Unfortunately doctors rarely think of this or check their patients for these factors. Low thiamine levels can indirectly contribute to an increased risk of bone fractures, although it is not a direct cause of bone weakening. Here's how low thiamine might affect bone health: ### Impacts of Low Thiamine 1. **Muscle Weakness**: Thiamine deficiency can lead to muscle weakness and coordination issues. Weak muscles may increase the risk of falls, leading to bone fractures. 2. **Neurological Effects**: A lack of thiamine can also affect the nervous system, potentially impairing balance and coordination. This can raise the likelihood of accidents that result in breaks. 3. **Energy Metabolism**: Thiamine is essential for energy production. Inadequate energy can affect overall physical activity, which is important for maintaining bone density. Reduced activity may lead to weaker bones over time. 4. **Cardiovascular Health**: As discussed earlier, low thiamine can affect heart health. Poor cardiovascular function can impact blood flow to the bones, potentially affecting their overall health. ### Conclusion While low thiamine is not a primary cause of bone density loss, it can create conditions that increase the risk of fractures due to falls or reduce overall bone health.
