HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 mg by NaturesPlus

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 (also called vitamin B1), at a 300 mg dose in sustained-release form. Thiamine is a B vitamin your body uses to convert food into energy and to support nerve and heart function.

The inactive ingredients—hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, rice bran, and pharmaceutical glaze—are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together and help release the thiamine gradually over time.

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 brain condition caused by severe B1 lack, often linked to heavy alcohol use). It's possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea).

The evidence doesn't support its use as a mosquito repellent or for heart failure, though research in those areas is limited.

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 skin rashes are rare, though they can happen.

Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you're pregnant or nursing and want to use a supplement, talk with your provider first to make sure the dose is right for you. If you receive thiamine by injection rather than by mouth, serious allergic reactions are possible but remain uncommon.

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 (an antibiotic), check with your pharmacist before adding this product—it may raise your thiamine levels slightly. No other medication interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient, but run your complete medication list through the checker on this page to be sure.

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 B1 supplement best suited for people with a documented thiamine deficiency or those at risk of one (like people with heavy alcohol use or malabsorption issues). If you take trimethoprim or other antibiotics, check your medications first—a Minor interaction is possible but not urgent.

Chat with your pharmacist before starting if you're pregnant, nursing, or on any regular medications.

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.

Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 mg by NaturesPlus: Common Questions

Does Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 mg by NaturesPlus interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 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?
Sustained Release Vitamin B1 300 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 to take every day?
Yes, thiamine is very well tolerated at normal oral doses when taken daily. Allergic reactions are rare. If you have any unusual symptoms like rash or swelling, stop and call your pharmacist.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Thiamine is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it's rated likely safe. But don't guess on the dose—talk with your provider first to confirm the right amount for you.
What does thiamine actually do?
Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps your body turn food into energy and supports your nerves and heart. Your body can't store much of it, so you need it regularly from food or supplements.
Will this help with mosquito repellent?
No—the evidence shows it's possibly ineffective for that purpose, so don't count on it to keep bugs away.
What's the difference between this and regular B1 supplements?
This is a sustained-release formula, meaning it releases gradually in your body over several hours instead of all at once. That allows for steadier levels, though both forms work for correcting a deficiency.
