HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-1 100 mg by Rite Aid

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) at 100 mg per tablet. Thiamine is an essential B vitamin your body needs for nerve function, energy production, and metabolism.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients — dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which serve as binders and flow agents.

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: Essential for proper nerve and muscle function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Diabetic neuropathy, nerve health, muscle function, energy metabolism — and 1 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 Diabetic neuropathy.

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

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, the evidence doesn't support its use — those are rated possibly ineffective.

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 well tolerated when taken by mouth at normal doses. Allergic reactions like dermatitis are rare.

Because thiamine is a nutrient your body needs, it's required during pregnancy and breastfeeding — the data rates this pregnancy use as likely safe, though you should use supplement doses only as your provider advises rather than megadoses on your own.

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 (the antibiotic Proloprim), note that it may raise your thiamine blood levels slightly. Check your exact medications with the search tool on this page to confirm there's nothing else to watch for.
