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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
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.
