Thiamine is a type of vitamin B. Several different substances belong to the group of vitamins known as the B vitamins. Thiamine is known as vitamin B1.

Foods that are good natural sources of thiamine are cereals, nuts, peas, beans and pork. Although thiamine deficiency tends to be rare in the UK, your doctor may recommend that you take a supplement of thiamine if for some reason you cannot get sufficient vitamin B1 from your normal diet.

Thiamine is also an ingredient of a number of multiple-vitamin preparations that are available to buy without a prescription.

Before taking thiamine

How to take thiamine

  • Before you start taking thiamine, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack.

  • Thiamine tablets are usually taken once a day. Doses of 25-100 mg are sufficient to prevent mild deficiency. You can take the tablets at whatever time of day you find easiest to remember, either before or after meals. If you have been prescribed a higher dose (200-300 mg daily), your doctor will recommend that you take this as one tablet (100 mg) two or three times a day.

  • No tome más de la dosis recomendada o prescrita.
