HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sukrol by Laboratorio Farmamedica

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Sukrol contains four active ingredients. Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps your body convert food into energy and supports nerve function.

Lecithin is a fatty substance that aids fat breakdown and is sometimes used for brain health, though evidence for cognitive benefit is limited. Glutamic acid is an amino acid involved in protein synthesis and nerve signaling.

Monosodium phosphate is a mineral salt that plays a role in bone and energy metabolism. The product also contains several inactive ingredients (fillers and binders) including lactose, corn starch, talc, and food colorings.

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: Nutrient supplementation with thiamin and lecithin.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Cognitive function, Age-related cognitive decline, Dyslipidemia, Hyperlipidemia — and 4 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, Dyslipidemia.

Thiamine in this product is effective for thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a serious brain condition caused by severe thiamine lack). It's possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea), but the evidence is limited.

Lecithin shows insufficient reliable evidence for age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, and is likely ineffective for Alzheimer disease. We don't have effectiveness data on file for glutamic acid or monosodium phosphate in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Thiamine Lecithin

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Thiamine is generally very safe when taken by mouth in normal doses. Allergic skin reactions are rare; they happen with injected thiamine much more often than with tablets.

Lecithin is generally well tolerated, though some people report mild stomach upset (abdominal pain, diarrhea, fullness, nausea), and anyone with an egg or soy allergy should be cautious since lecithin can trigger reactions in those individuals. Both thiamine and lecithin are rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, though you should use supplement doses only as your provider recommends.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Thiamine Lecithin

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 2 matched ingredients 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 — it's a Minor interaction but it's worth monitoring. We couldn't verify data for all ingredients in this product, so it's especially important to check your full medication list with the search tool on this page before starting.

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.

Sukrol is a straightforward vitamin and nutrient tablet best suited for people with thiamine deficiency or those wanting general nutritional support. If you take trimethoprim or any other regular medications, check them against this product first.

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.

Is Sukrol safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Will Sukrol help my memory or brain fog?
Thiamine supports nerve function, but we don't have strong evidence that Sukrol improves memory in otherwise healthy people. Lecithin has insufficient reliable evidence for age-related cognitive decline and is likely ineffective for Alzheimer disease.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps your body turn food into energy and keeps your nerves working properly. Sukrol's thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a serious brain condition from severe B1 lack.
What does lecithin do in this product?
Lecithin is a fatty substance that helps break down fats in your body. It's sometimes added to supplements for brain health, but the evidence that it works for cognitive problems is not yet established.
