How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Allicin and thiamine form thiamine allyl disulfide, identified as allithiamine in the original chemistry report.

**Vitamin B1 chemistry.** The original allithiamine report identified thiamine allyl disulfide as a product of reaction between allicin and thiamine. This creates a real chemical connection to vitamin B1. It does not establish how much forms after eating garlic, clinical correction of thiamine deficiency, or superiority of garlic over thiamine treatment. Allithiamine is distinct from thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide and other synthetic derivatives. [Fujiwara 1954](https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/biochemistry1922/41/1/41_1_29/_article)
