HelloPharmacist Scorecard of B-1 100 mg Thiamin 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

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 (vitamin B-1) at 100 mg per tablet. Thiamine is an essential B vitamin your body needs to convert food into energy and support nerve and heart function.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, methylcellulose, and ethylcellulose — which help form and stabilize the pill.

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: energy production and nervous system health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Fatigue, Cognitive function, Delirium, Dementia — and 3 related terms.
  • 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, Dementia, Diabetic neuropathy, Fatigue, and more.

Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a serious brain condition caused by severe thiamine lack, often related to heavy alcohol use). It's possibly effective for menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea).

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, the evidence we hold suggests it's possibly ineffective, so don't count on it 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. Rarely, oral thiamine may cause skin inflammation (dermatitis) or allergic reactions; injected thiamine carries a small risk of severe allergic reactions, but that's not relevant to this tablet form.

Thiamine is needed in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — if you're pregnant or nursing and want to supplement, use only the amount your doctor or midwife recommends.

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), let your pharmacist know you're taking this thiamine supplement — it may raise thiamine levels slightly. No other interactions are documented in our data for the thiamine in this product, but check your exact medications with the search tool on this page to be sure.

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.

This is a straightforward thiamine supplement useful if you have a deficiency or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. If you take trimethoprim (an antibiotic), mention this supplement to your pharmacist — it's a minor interaction but worth a quick check.

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should talk to their provider before supplementing.

Thiamine1 drug type · 3 drugs

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.

B-1 100 mg Thiamin by Carlson: Common Questions

Does B-1 100 mg Thiamin by Carlson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, B-1 100 mg Thiamin has a known interaction with 3 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
B-1 100 mg Thiamin contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help if I'm low on B vitamins?
This product contains only thiamine (B-1), not a full B-complex. It's effective for thiamine deficiency specifically. If you need other B vitamins, you'd need a different product or a multivitamin.
Is thiamine safe to take every day?
Yes, thiamine is generally very safe when taken by mouth in normal amounts like this 100 mg dose. It's a water-soluble vitamin, so your body excretes excess amounts.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Thiamine is needed in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The safety rating is Likely Safe, but use only the supplement amount your doctor or midwife advises rather than megadoses.
What is Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome and why is thiamine effective for it?
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a serious brain condition caused by severe thiamine deficiency, often from heavy alcohol use. Thiamine replacement is proven effective for treating it.
Will this repel mosquitoes?
No — the evidence we hold suggests thiamine is possibly ineffective as a mosquito repellent, so don't count on it for that.
