The Solgar Vitamin B1 100mg is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with 100mg thiamine per phytocapsule, in the form of thiamine hydrochloride. This amount corresponds to multiple times the Recommended Daily Allowance, as thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin with very low basic needs. The package contains 100 phytocapsules.
It is aimed at adults who want targeted intake of a single vitamin from the B complex, instead of a multicomponent B complex, and those looking for a vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free formulation.
Thiamine was the first vitamin of the B complex to be isolated, which is why it received the number one. In the body, it is converted into its active form, thiamine pyrophosphate, which acts as a coenzyme in enzymatic systems that break down carbohydrates and keto acids. Simply put, without sufficient thiamine, cells struggle to utilize glucose as fuel, which is why thiamine needs are closely linked to the carbohydrate content of the diet.
Thiamine is water-soluble and the body does not store it to a significant extent, so intake should be regular. It is found in whole grains, legumes, nuts, pork meat, and brewer's yeast. However, it is lost to a large extent during the processing and refining of grains, as well as with boiling, since it passes into the water. Therefore, diets with many processed foods may be poorer in thiamine than expected.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, vitamin B1 is presented as a water-soluble vitamin with a role in energy and nervous system function, with the following points:
The above statements are attributed to the producer and correspond to the approved claims of thiamine. References to diseases or to the treatment of diseases are not allowed for dietary supplements and are not included on this page.
It suits adults with a diet rich in processed cereals and poor in whole grain products and legumes. It suits those who follow a vegan or vegetarian pattern and want to target a vitamin from the B complex. It also suits people with increased physical activity, where the consumption of carbohydrates and thus the needs for thiamine are greater, as well as those for whom their doctor has recommended the intake of vitamin B1. This is a dietary supplement and does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment.
