Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a water-soluble B vitamin that the body requires for energy metabolism and, therefore, for the growth, development, and function of cells; in its main active form, thiamin diphosphate, it serves as an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolism. Supplemental thiamin is used to treat thiamin deficiency and its consequences such as beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, though a Cochrane review concluded the evidence from clinical trials is insufficient to guide the dose, frequency, duration, or route of thiamin supplementation for that syndrome. It has also been studied for diabetes and heart failure, where small studies suggest possible effects on glucose levels or left ventricular ejection fraction, but the authors did not assess the clinical significance of these findings, and for Alzheimer's disease, where existing trials were too small to draw conclusions. In each of these areas the NIH notes that larger, well-designed studies are needed to determine whether thiamin supplements are beneficial — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements; not medical advice.
The most commonly used forms of thiamin in supplements are thiamin mononitrate and thiamin hydrochloride, which the fact sheet describes as stable and water soluble. Benfotiamine is a synthetic thiamin derivative used in some supplements that, unlike these forms, is not water soluble and is converted to thiamin in the body. Multivitamin/mineral supplements containing thiamin typically provide about 1.5 mg, and thiamin is also available in B-complex or thiamin-only supplements.
Food sources of thiamin include whole grains, meat, and fish, and in the U.S. breads, cereals, and infant formulas are fortified with thiamin. The most common sources in the U.S. diet are cereals and bread, with pork another major source, while dairy products and most fruits contain little thiamin. Among the highest-providing foods listed are fortified breakfast cereals, enriched egg noodles, pork chops, trout, and black beans — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
Groups most likely to have inadequate thiamin status include people with alcohol dependence (up to 80% of people with chronic alcoholism develop deficiency), older adults, people with HIV/AIDS or diabetes, and people who have undergone bariatric surgery. In its early stage, deficiency can cause weight loss and anorexia, confusion, short-term memory loss, muscle weakness, and cardiovascular symptoms; its most common effect is beriberi (peripheral neuropathy and wasting), and a more common U.S. manifestation is Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

1 of 13 tracked Vitamin B1 brands here are flagged as carrying independent third-party testing — a voluntary check of a product's identity, potency and contaminants by an outside lab. It's a quality signal, not a value or efficacy claim. Confirm any brand's current status on the official registries:
Testing status is self-reported by the brand or drawn from public certification and may change — always verify on the official registry before purchase.
The for adults is 1.2 mg/day for men and 1.1 mg/day for women age 19+. Pregnant and lactating women need 1.4 mg/day. Children's RDAs range from 0.5 mg (ages 1-3) to 0.9 mg (ages 9-13). Infants have an AI of 0.2-0.3 mg/day. — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements; general information, not medical advice.
The Food and Nutrition Board did not establish a for thiamin, due to lack of reports of adverse effects from high intakes (50 mg/day or more) from food or supplements. The body excretes excess thiamin in urine. The board noted excessive intakes could still have adverse effects. — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements; general information, not medical advice.
In its early stage, thiamin deficiency can cause weight loss and anorexia, confusion, short-term memory loss and other mental signs and symptoms, muscle weakness, and cardiovascular symptoms such as an enlarged heart. The most common effect is beriberi, characterized mainly by peripheral neuropathy and wasting. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a more common manifestation of thiamin deficiency in the United States. — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements; general information, not medical advice.
Groups most likely to have inadequate thiamin status include people with alcohol dependence, older adults, people with HIV/AIDS, people with diabetes, and people who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Because of the lack of reports of adverse effects from high thiamin intakes (50 mg/day or more) from food or supplements, the Food and Nutrition Board did not establish a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for thiamin; the body excretes excess thiamin in the urine. The apparent lack of toxicity may be explained by the rapid decline in absorption at intakes above 5 mg, although the FNB noted that excessive intakes could nonetheless have adverse effects — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

Thiamin is not known to interact with any medications, but certain medications can have an adverse effect on thiamin levels. Furosemide (Lasix), a loop diuretic, has been linked to decreased thiamin concentrations as a result of urinary thiamin loss. Fluorouracil (5-fluorouracil; Adrucil) chemotherapy might increase thiamin metabolism and block the formation of TDP, the active form of thiamin. — per the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements; general information, not medical advice.
BulkSupplements.com Thiamine Mononitrate Powder - Vitamin B1 Powder at $0.02 per serving — the lowest cost-per-dose vitamin b1 in our catalog. See the full ranking on the Best Vitamin B1 page.

Across 54 tracked Vitamin B1 deals the median cost-per-dose is $0.150; the cheapest quartile comes in under $0.084 per serving. Anything below the median is a solid deal for the same molecule.
