Dr. Clark Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 400mg Supplement – 100 Capsules

Why Choose Thiamine?

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential for converting food into usable energy and supporting a healthy nervous system. Each capsule provides 400 mg of thiamine HCl, a high-strength dose that helps maintain normal energy metabolism and nerve function. This supplement is also free from common allergens—no gluten, dairy, soya, nuts, or artificial additives—making it a safe choice for those with sensitivities.

Understanding Thiamine

Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin that the body cannot store, so regular intake is important. It acts as a cofactor for several enzymes involved in breaking down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, producing energy at the cellular level. It also plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the nervous system, heart, and muscles. Because the body relies on a continuous supply, supplementation is beneficial for individuals with higher requirements or absorption challenges.

Who May Benefit From Extra Thiamine?

Certain groups may need more thiamine, including those who regularly drink alcohol (which impairs absorption), older adults, people with gastrointestinal disorders like Crohn’s or coeliac disease, and those following restrictive diets (e.g., vegans or processed food-heavy diets). Athletes and people with physically demanding lifestyles may also benefit from additional support for energy metabolism. Always speak with a health care professional before starting a new supplement.

Selecting the Right Thiamine Supplement

When choosing a thiamine supplement, look for a well-absorbed form such as thiamine hydrochloride (HCl), as used in this product. It is stable, effective, and backed by research. This supplement is free from magnesium stearate, starch, soy, nuts, and dairy, and comes in easy-to-swallow gelatin capsules. With 400 mg per capsule, it provides a potent dose for targeted support.

How to Take Thiamine

For general maintenance, 50–100 mg daily is typical, but higher doses like 400 mg are used for more focussed support. Take one capsule daily with food and water. Individual needs vary, so follow your health care provider’s advice, especially if you have underlying conditions or take medication.

Can I take this supplement on an empty stomach?

It’s best to take thiamine with food to improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset.

Is this product suitable for vegans?
