HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B1 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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 capsule. Thiamine is a water-soluble B vitamin your body needs for energy and nerve function.

The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—rice flour, gelatin, and magnesium stearate—which are typical 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
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: carbohydrate and nutrient metabolism.
  • We looked for evidence on: Thiamine deficiency, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS), energy production, metabolic support, nerve function.
  • 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).

Thiamine is effective for treating thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a serious brain condition from severe thiamine shortage). The evidence is possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (painful periods).

For other uses like heart failure or mosquito repellent, the evidence suggests it's 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 safe when taken by mouth at normal doses. Allergic reactions like dermatitis are rare when taken orally; injectable forms very rarely cause more serious allergic reactions, but that doesn't apply here.

Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding—the safety data rates it as likely safe in pregnancy—but use only the dose your doctor or midwife recommends, not 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), let your pharmacist know you're starting this supplement—it may raise your thiamine levels slightly. No other 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, low-risk B1 supplement for thiamine deficiency or when your diet falls short. If you take trimethoprim (the antibiotic Proloprim), mention this supplement to your pharmacist so they can monitor your thiamine levels.

Otherwise, for most people, it's a well-tolerated addition.

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.
