HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-1 100 mg by AvPAK

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), 100 mg per tablet. Thiamine is an essential B vitamin your body uses to convert food into energy and to support nerve and heart function.

It's also inactive ingredients like microcrystalline cellulose, calcium phosphate, and magnesium stearate to hold the tablet together.

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: promote energy metabolism by supporting sugar metabolism.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Fatigue, Energy production, Carbohydrate metabolism.
  • 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 Fatigue.

Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a serious neurological condition caused by severe thiamine lack). It's also possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods).

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, the evidence suggests it's likely not effective, though research in those areas isn't conclusive.

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 well tolerated when taken by mouth in normal doses. Oral allergic reactions like dermatitis are rare.

Injectable thiamine can rarely trigger anaphylactoid or hypersensitivity reactions, but this supplement is a tablet, not an injection. Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding — the safety data rates it likely safe — but use only at doses your doctor or midwife recommends rather than 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.

If you take trimethoprim (Proloprim) or related antibiotics, double-check with your pharmacist before starting this product — it may raise thiamine levels in your blood. For any other medications, no interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.

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.

Vitamin B-1 100 mg is a good choice if you have or are at risk for thiamine deficiency or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. If you're on trimethoprim (an antibiotic), check with your pharmacist before adding this supplement.

For most people with normal diets, a B-complex or multivitamin covers thiamine needs, so ask your provider if you really need a standalone dose.

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.

Vitamin B-1 100 mg by AvPAK: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B-1 100 mg by AvPAK interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin B-1 100 mg 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?
Vitamin B-1 100 mg 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.
Does this product really work for mosquito repellent?
No — the evidence we have suggests thiamine is likely not effective as a mosquito repellent, despite what some people claim. If you're looking to prevent mosquito bites, talk to your pharmacist about proven options.
Is it safe to take thiamine if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — thiamine is needed during both pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the safety data rates it likely safe. But use only the dose your doctor or midwife tells you to, not megadoses on your own.
What is thiamine used for in the body?
Thiamine is a B vitamin your body needs to turn food into energy, support your nerves, and keep your heart working properly. If you don't get enough from your diet, you're at risk for deficiency, which can cause serious problems like Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
Can this supplement help with painful periods?
Thiamine is possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps), though the evidence isn't as strong as it is for deficiency. Talk to your doctor about whether it's worth trying for your situation.
Are there any side effects from taking thiamine by mouth?
Oral thiamine is very safe and side effects are rare. Allergic reactions like dermatitis can happen but are uncommon. If you notice a rash or other unusual reaction, stop and tell your pharmacist or doctor.
