Benefits of thiamine according to EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated the scientific evidence and approved several health claims for thiamine. Among them, we highlight the most relevant:

• Energy metabolism: Thiamine contributes to normal energy metabolism.
• Nervous system: Helps the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Psychological function: Contributes to normal psychological function.
• Carbohydrate metabolism: Participates in the normal metabolism of carbohydrates.
• Cardiovascular system: Contributes to the normal functioning of the heart.

These benefits make thiamine a key nutrient for daily vitality and general well-being.

Who should consider a thiamine supplement?

Certain groups may especially benefit from a vitamin B1 supplement. People with restrictive diets, such as vegans or those with high consumption of refined carbohydrates, may have greater needs. Also those who habitually consume alcohol, as alcohol interferes with thiamine absorption. In addition, athletes or people with high levels of physical stress may require additional intake to maintain optimal energy metabolism. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

How to choose the best vitamin B1 supplement

When selecting a thiamine supplement, it is important to consider the form and dosage. NOW Foods offers thiamine in the form of thiamine hydrochloride (thiamine HCl), a well-absorbed and widely used form. The 100 mg dose is suitable for most people looking for additional support. In addition, the absence of unnecessary additives and certifications (vegan, non-GMO, kosher, halal) guarantee a clean and ethical product. Manufacturing under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards ensures the quality and potency of the supplement.

Recommended thiamine dosage

The recommended daily dose of thiamine for adults is approximately 1.1 to 1.2 mg, although needs may vary. With NOW Foods' 100 mg tablets, it is recommended to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Since thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin, excess is eliminated through urine, but it is best not to exceed the indicated doses without professional supervision.

Possible side effects and precautions

Thiamine is generally safe at recommended doses. In some rare cases, very high doses may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. People with allergies to any of the components should avoid its use. No significant drug interactions have been reported, although it is always prudent to consult a doctor if other medications are being taken. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
