HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 mg by NaturesPlus
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 (also called vitamin B1), at a 300 mg dose in sustained-release form. Thiamine is a B vitamin your body uses to convert food into energy and to support nerve and heart function.
The inactive ingredients—hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, rice bran, and pharmaceutical glaze—are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together and help release the thiamine gradually over time.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a serious brain condition caused by severe B1 lack, often linked to heavy alcohol use). It's possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea).
The evidence doesn't support its use as a mosquito repellent or for heart failure, though research in those areas is limited.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Thiamine is generally very well tolerated when taken by mouth at normal doses. Allergic reactions like skin rashes are rare, though they can happen.
Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you're pregnant or nursing and want to use a supplement, talk with your provider first to make sure the dose is right for you. If you receive thiamine by injection rather than by mouth, serious allergic reactions are possible but remain uncommon.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take trimethoprim (an antibiotic), check with your pharmacist before adding this product—it may raise your thiamine levels slightly. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient, but run your complete medication list through the checker on this page to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a straightforward B1 supplement best suited for people with a documented thiamine deficiency or those at risk of one (like people with heavy alcohol use or malabsorption issues). If you take trimethoprim or other antibiotics, check your medications first—a Minor interaction is possible but not urgent.
Chat with your pharmacist before starting if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any regular medications.

Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 mg by NaturesPlus Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
NaturesPlus Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 mg contains one active ingredient—thiamine—which interacts with a small number of medications.
The most notable is trimethoprim (an antibiotic used to treat infections), which is rated a Minor interaction. Trimethoprim can actually increase the amount of thiamine your body absorbs and retains by blocking the transporters that normally clear it from your system.
This means thiamine levels in your blood might climb higher than expected.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Although this is the only medication type documented in our data for thiamine, the Minor rating suggests the effect is unlikely to cause harm at standard doses. Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual medications.
That said, it's still worth running your exact medication list through the checker on this page—especially if you take any antibiotics—to make sure nothing surprises you.

Trimethoprim (Proloprim)
Trimethoprim might increase blood levels of thiamine.
