Beri beri is caused by a deficiency of thiamine, also known as vitamin B1. This nutrient is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and proper nerve function. There are two main forms of beri beri: wet beri beri, which affects the cardiovascular system, and dry beri beri, which primarily impacts the nervous system. Ensuring adequate thiamine intake through diet or supplementation can prevent this condition.
