HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coenzymated B-1 by Source Naturals

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.
  • “Thiamine” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (13 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: thiamine, also called vitamin B1. Thiamine is an essential B vitamin your body needs to convert food into energy and support nerve and heart function.

The form here is cocarboxylase, which is thiamine bound to a phosphate group—your body can use it the same way it uses regular thiamine.

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 generation from carbohydrates.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Beriberi, Thiamine deficiency disease.
  • 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).

Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a serious condition that can develop from severe thiamine lack. It's possibly effective for menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), though the evidence is less established.

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, the evidence doesn't support its use.

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 taken by mouth is generally very well tolerated. Rarely, it may cause a skin rash or allergic reaction.

Since thiamine is a nutrient your body needs during pregnancy and breastfeeding, this supplement is rated likely safe—but only use it at the doses your doctor or midwife recommends, not megadoses.

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.

Trimethoprim is the one antibiotic to flag—it may raise your thiamine blood levels slightly. If you take this antibiotic, let your doctor or pharmacist know you're considering this B-1 supplement.

FDA Statement of Identity

Dietary Supplement

Formula

Cocarboxylase

In order for vitamins to be utilized by the body, they must first be converted into their active coenzyme forms. Coenzymated B1 is ready to go to work immediately. This essential nutrient plays key roles in generating energy from carbohydrates, fats, and alcohol, and in the formation of neurotransmitters in the brain. Thiamin diphosphate (TDP), also called thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) or cocarboxylase, is the active, coenzyme form of vitamin B-1.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place.

Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions

Suggested Use: 1 lozenge daily. For best results, allow to dissolve in the mouth before swallowing.

Precautions

Note: If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your health care professional before using this product.

Do not use if either tamper-evident seal is broken or missing.

Keep out of the reach of children.

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.

Does Coenzymated B-1 by Source Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Coenzymated B-1 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?
Coenzymated B-1 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.
Is this safe to take while I'm pregnant?
Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and this supplement is rated likely safe. However, use only the dose your doctor or midwife advises—don't take more than recommended without checking first.
Can I take it if I'm breastfeeding?
Yes, thiamine is needed while you breastfeed and this supplement is rated likely safe. Use it at recommended amounts under your provider's guidance.
What does cocarboxylase mean—is it different from regular B-1?
Cocarboxylase is thiamine bonded to a phosphate group. Your body uses it the same way as regular thiamine, so the difference is mainly chemical—both forms work.
Will this help with mosquitoes?
The evidence doesn't support using thiamine as a mosquito repellent, so it's not a reliable choice for that purpose.
Does this contain any allergens I should know about?
The inactive ingredients are sorbitol, mannitol, sodium citrate, peppermint flavoring, and magnesium stearate—none of which are top allergens. If you have a known allergy to peppermint or any of these, check the label or ask your pharmacist.
