NOW Foods Vitamina B-1 (Tiamina) 100 mg - 200 comprimidos

What is vitamin B1 and why is it important?

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is an essential B-complex vitamin that plays a key role in energy metabolism. NOW Foods presents its thiamine supplement in a dose of 100 mg per tablet, packaged in a convenient 2-bottle pack with 100 tablets each. This formulation is designed for those looking to support their daily energy and the proper functioning of the nervous system.*

Benefits of thiamine according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved specific health claims for thiamine. Among these, we highlight that thiamine contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function. In addition, thiamine contributes to the normal functioning of the heart. These statements are based on solid scientific evidence and support the inclusion of this nutrient in the daily diet.

Thiamine also participates in carbohydrate metabolism and in the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, necessary for proper digestion.*

Who can benefit from a vitamin B1 supplement?

A thiamine supplement can be especially useful for people with restrictive diets, such as vegans or vegetarians, since the main food sources are whole grains, legumes, nuts and meats. It can also be beneficial for athletes who require a higher energy intake, people with chronic stress or those who regularly consume alcohol, as alcohol can interfere with thiamine absorption.

If you experience frequent fatigue, irritability or difficulty concentrating, it may be a sign of insufficient vitamin B1 intake. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

How to choose the best thiamine supplement

When selecting a vitamin B1 supplement, it is important to consider the form and dosage. The thiamine present in this product is in the form of thiamine hydrochloride, a stable and well-absorbed form. The dose of 100 mg is adequate for most people looking for extra support, well above the recommended daily intake, but within safe ranges for supplementation.

NOW Foods is a brand recognized for its commitment to quality and purity. This product is gluten-free, soy-free and GMO-free, and is suitable for vegans. In addition, it is manufactured following strict good manufacturing practices (GMP) standards.

Recommended dosage

It is recommended to take one tablet daily with meals. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Each bottle contains 100 tablets, so a pack of 2 offers a supply for 200 days. It is important to maintain a balanced and varied diet, as food supplements should not replace a complete diet.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Thiamine is generally safe and well tolerated. At high doses, mild adverse effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort have rarely been reported. However, people with allergies to any of the ingredients should avoid its consumption. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before starting any supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.
