HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-1 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.

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), an essential B vitamin your body needs to turn food into energy and support nerve and heart function. It also contains inactive ingredients — a whole food base, gelatin capsule, and magnesium stearate — that help deliver the vitamin.

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 production and nerve function support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Fatigue, Cognitive function, Diabetic neuropathy, Beriberi — and 3 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 Cognitive function, Diabetic neuropathy, Fatigue.

Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a serious brain condition caused by severe thiamine lack. It's possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods), though the evidence is less solid.

For other uses like mosquito repellent or heart failure, the evidence suggests it's probably not helpful.

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 are rare, though dermatitis and other skin reactions have been reported rarely — and severe hypersensitivity reactions can occur if injected, though that's also uncommon.

Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or nursing and considering a supplement, use only the dose your doctor or midwife recommends rather than self-dosing, since needs change in these periods.

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.

Check if you take trimethoprim (Proloprim) or any related medications before using this product. The interaction is Minor, but thiamine levels may go up on that antibiotic.

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 B-1 supplement works well if you have a thiamine deficiency or certain B-vitamin gaps. If you take trimethoprim (an antibiotic), let your pharmacist know before starting — it's a minor interaction but worth flagging.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before adding any supplement to your routine, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or on prescription medications.

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 by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B-1 by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin B-1 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 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.
Will this help if I'm deficient in B-1?
Yes — thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency. If you think you're low, your doctor can test your levels and recommend the right dose.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Use only the amount your doctor or midwife advises, rather than picking your own dose, since your needs change in these periods.
Does thiamine have side effects?
It's very well tolerated. Allergic reactions like rashes are rare when taken by mouth. If you've had severe allergies to B vitamins before, mention it to your pharmacist.
Will this help with period pain?
Possibly — the evidence suggests it may help with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), but it's not as solid as its use for actual B-1 deficiency.
Can thiamine repel mosquitoes?
Probably not. While it's sometimes claimed as a mosquito repellent, the evidence suggests it's likely ineffective for that use.
