HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-1 100 mg by Solaray

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 capsule. Thiamine is an essential B vitamin your body needs to convert food into energy and keep your nervous system working properly.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — rice concentrate, aloe vera gel, cellulose, and rice extract blend — which are fillers and binders.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Thiamine's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Thiamine for:

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Energy support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Thiamine deficiency — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dysmenorrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

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

For other uses listed — mosquito repellent and heart failure — the evidence doesn't support them.

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.

Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but you should use supplement doses only under your doctor's or midwife's guidance — talk with your provider about whether you need extra beyond what you get from food.

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), let your pharmacist know you're considering this B-1 supplement — it may raise your thiamine blood level slightly. No other interactions are documented for the ingredients we checked.

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 B-1 supplement, useful if you're deficient in thiamine or treating Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. If you take trimethoprim (Proloprim) for an infection, mention this supplement to your pharmacist — it's a minor interaction, but worth flagging.

Talk with your doctor before starting if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.
