Thiamine pyrophosphate

Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is a vital form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) that acts as a coenzyme—meaning it helps enzymes carry out chemical reactions in the body. It plays a crucial role in energy production, especially in breaking down carbohydrates into usable fuel. TPP is involved in processes within the brain, muscles, and other tissues, ensuring cells function properly. Without enough TPP, the body’s ability to convert food into energy can be impaired, leading to health issues like fatigue and neurological problems. It is essential for maintaining overall metabolic health.
