HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B1 100 mg by Country Life

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 B1) at 100 mg per tablet. Thiamine is a water-soluble B vitamin your body needs for energy production and nerve function.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients—cellulose, stearic acid, silica, and magnesium stearate—which are common fillers and binders that help form and preserve the tablet.

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: support nervous system and muscle function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), Cognitive function, Fatigue, Dementia, Beriberi — and 2 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, Dementia, Diabetic neuropathy, Fatigue.

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

For mosquito repellent and heart failure, the evidence suggests it's likely 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.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, thiamine is a nutrient your body needs—use supplements only at the amounts your doctor or midwife recommends 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 (Proloprim), an antibiotic, mention this supplement to your pharmacist—it may raise your thiamine levels slightly. Use the medication checker below to confirm your specific medications aren't affected.

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 B1 100 mg by Country Life: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B1 100 mg by Country Life interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin B1 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 B1 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 this B1 supplement safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Thiamine is a nutrient you need during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The data rates it as likely safe when you use it at recommended supplement doses under your doctor's guidance. Don't take megadoses on your own—talk with your provider about the right amount for you.
What is thiamine and why would I need it?
Thiamine, also called vitamin B1, helps your body turn food into energy and keeps your nerves healthy. You need it from food or supplements if you have a deficiency, which can cause fatigue, nerve damage, and in severe cases, a serious condition called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
Will this help with menstrual cramps?
The evidence suggests thiamine is possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain), so it may help some people. But it's not proven for everyone, so results vary. If cramping is severe, talk with your doctor about all your options.
Can this work as mosquito repellent?
No—the data shows thiamine is likely ineffective as a mosquito repellent, so don't count on it for that purpose.
What are the side effects?
Allergic reactions like dermatitis are very rare when you take thiamine by mouth. Most people have no side effects at all at normal doses.
