HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B1 100 mg by Douglas Laboratories
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
This product contains one active ingredient: thiamine (also called vitamin B1), which is an essential nutrient your body needs to convert food into energy and keep your nerves working properly. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, vegetable stearate, and silica—which help hold the tablet together and make it easier to swallow.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), a serious brain condition caused by severe thiamine lack. The evidence is possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods), but possibly ineffective for heart failure and as a mosquito repellent.
If you're looking to use it for something other than deficiency or WKS, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the science backs it.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Thiamine is generally very well tolerated when you take it by mouth at normal doses. Allergic reactions like dermatitis are rare when taken orally, though they're possible.
Your body needs thiamine during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant or nursing and want to supplement, use only the amounts your doctor or pharmacist recommends.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take trimethoprim (Proloprim), check with your pharmacist before starting this product—it may raise your thiamine levels. No other major interactions are documented for the ingredients we checked.
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 is a straightforward B1 supplement, most useful if you have a confirmed thiamine deficiency or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. If you take trimethoprim (an antibiotic), let your pharmacist know before starting this supplement.
Otherwise, it's generally a well-tolerated option for supporting your B1 needs.
