HelloPharmacist Scorecard of B-1 100 mg by Carlson

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: thiamine (also called vitamin B1), at 100 mg per tablet. Thiamine is a B vitamin your body needs to convert food into energy and support nerve function.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients — dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, and others — that help hold it together and aid absorption.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promotes energy production and nervous system health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Fatigue, Cognitive function, nerve function, B-vitamin deficiency.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Thiamine is rated "Effective" for Thiamine deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Thiamine is rated "Effective" for Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS).
  • Also on file: Thiamine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Fatigue.

Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a serious brain condition caused by severe thiamine shortage). It's possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea).

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective, so this supplement isn't a reliable choice for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Thiamine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Thiamine is generally very well tolerated when taken by mouth in normal amounts. Allergic reactions like skin rashes are rare; reactions after injection are also uncommon.

Thiamine is needed in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — if you're pregnant or nursing and want to supplement, talk with your provider about the right dose for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Thiamine

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Thiamine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 3 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take trimethoprim (Proloprim), an antibiotic, check with your pharmacist before starting — it may raise thiamine blood levels. For the single active ingredient we could check, no other interactions are documented in our data.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're correcting a thiamine deficiency or treating Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, this is a straightforward option. If you take trimethoprim (an antibiotic), mention this supplement to your pharmacist.

Thiamine is safe and well-studied, so most people can take it without worry — just check your medications first.

Trimethoprim (Proloprim)

Trimethoprim might increase blood levels of thiamine.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that trimethoprim inhibits intestinal thiamine transporter ThTR-2, hepatic transporter OCT1, and renal transporters OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2, resulting in paradoxically increased thiamine plasma concentrations.

Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
Thiamine is needed in pregnancy and is rated likely safe. If you want to take this supplement while you're pregnant, talk with your provider about the right dose for you — don't self-dose beyond their recommendation.
What does thiamine actually do in my body?
