<p>A key vitamin found in Marmite and Quorn could hold the clue to recovery following a heart attack, experts have said.</p>
<p>A derivative of vitamin B1 could speed up healing of tissue and increase the chance of survival following heart damage, a new study suggests.</p>
<p>Separate research also found the substance &#8211; called benfotiamine &#8211; can slow down the progression to heart failure in diabetics, which is a complication of the illness.</p>
<p>Developing a supplement containing benfotiamine could cut the number of diabetics developing heart failure, researchers said.</p>
<p>Vitamin B1 is also known as thiamin and is found in most types of food.</p>
<p>Good sources include Marmite, Quorn, pork, vegetables, milk, cheese, peas, fresh and dried fruit, eggs, wholegrain breads and some fortified breakfast cereals.</p>
<p>Both pieces of research into the vitamin were carried out by a team from the University of Bristol.</p>
<p>They gave benfotiamine in a synthetic form to mice, some of which had diabetes and some of which did not.</p>
<p>The study found that benfotiamine improved survival and healing after heart attacks in both types of mice.</p>
<p>Writing in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, they said treatment &#8220;markedly improved the survival of both non-diabetic (80%) and diabetic mice (50%)&#8221; compared with mice given no treatment.</p>
