HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-1 100 mg by Nature's Bounty

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), a water-soluble B vitamin your body needs to convert food into energy and support nerve and heart function. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients (dicalcium phosphate, vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate) that help form and preserve the pill.

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 metabolism and nervous system function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Fatigue, Beriberi, neurological function.
  • 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 (WKS), a serious condition caused by severe thiamine lack that affects memory and coordination. The evidence is also possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods).

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective—so don't rely on it for those uses.

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 very safe when taken by mouth in the doses recommended on the label. Allergic reactions—like skin rashes—are rare when you take it orally, though they can happen.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, thiamine is actually needed; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what dose is right for you, since you should use supplements only as they advise.

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), an antibiotic, let your pharmacist know before adding this supplement—it can raise your thiamine levels. Check your exact medications with the tool on this page before you start.

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 supplement is a straightforward way to get thiamine if you're deficient or at risk for deficiency, or if you have WKS. If you take trimethoprim or other medications that affect your kidneys or liver, check with us first.

It's a low-interaction product overall, but it's worth a quick conversation with your pharmacist.

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 Nature's Bounty: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B-1 100 mg by Nature's Bounty 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.
Is thiamine safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it's not something to avoid. But use it only at the dose your doctor or pharmacist recommends—don't guess at your own amount.
Will this help with my menstrual cramps?
The evidence suggests thiamine might possibly help with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), but it's not a proven treatment. Talk with your doctor about whether it's worth trying alongside other approaches.
Can I take this if I take antibiotics?
It depends on which antibiotic. Trimethoprim (Proloprim) can interact with thiamine and raise your thiamine level. Check with your pharmacist about your specific antibiotic before starting.
What's thiamine actually for?
Thiamine is a B vitamin that helps your body turn food into energy and keeps your nerves and heart working right. If you don't get enough from food, a supplement can prevent deficiency.
Does this have a lot of fillers?
The tablet contains some inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, silica, and magnesium stearate—to hold the pill together, but they're standard amounts used to make supplements stable.
