Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Drops - High Potency Liquid Extract - 1 Fluid Ounce

My dr. has prescribed 300 mg of thiamine, which I cannot take orally (bad GI side effects). I use this topically, so I am not the best reviewer. The advantage is the purity of the glycerin carrier agent. The disadvantage is the amount dispensing and the amount. The directions are "one dropper" but the droppers are not lined or marked in any way, so that is very imprecise. The amount delivered in one dropper is 6 mg. This works for me for now, as I am building up slowly, starting with 4 droppers to obtain 24 mg. This will be both costly and slightly troublesome as it is a lot of fluid to apply topically. it would be a lot of glycerin to swallow as well. But of all the various forms of glycerin available, all of which are piled up in my medicine cabinet, this version is BEST tolerated by me.

In my search to supplement my keto diet it was recommended to add B1 as I was sluggish and tired all the time. I received my delivery late in the afternoon and decided to try it out. What a mistake. The directions explicitly tell you to only squirt 1 dropper per day. I squirted 2 droppers in about 30 ounces of water thinking it would be fine so I can sip on some water all night (I do intermittent fasting as well) Well by the end of the night I had drank way more water than anticipated and I felt like I was flying high as a kite with clarity and energy at 1am. I fell asleep into a deep sleep and woke up feeling refreshed only to find it was 20 minutes later. I did sleep okay afterwards but not in my normal type of sleep as I was more jumpy than usual with my normal surrounding sounds (upstairs neighbors stomping around) The following morning was great, the feeling of clarity and energy is incredible and I definitely will be using smaller doses. Moral of the story - dont take past 5pm, only 1 dropper early morning as indicated or half if you are starting Ps. It also does regulate bathroom trips which is great for those who retain water and other stuff.

I have a cat that can't eat cat food. She throws it up within minutes of eating it. For the past 10 years, she has eaten mostly tuna. She began having seizures, and I read an online article that said cats that consume a lot of tuna will develop Thiamine deficiencies that can lead to seizures. When I took my cat to the vet, he said he thought she had a brain tumor. I told him about the article, and he didn't seem to impressed. (Doctors hate it when you self-diagnose.) Before I left, he said "If you think she has a vitamin deficiency, there is an easy fix for that. Get her some vitamins." I ordered this product, and after two doses, my little girl was acting like her old self again, and she NEVER had another seizure. The liquid form made it very easy to administer. She doesn't even seem to mind. I tasted it myself to see what it was like, and the taste was not at all offensive. If only everything I attempt would go so well.

Great product, I add it to my yogurts

The vitamin is great to keep on hand.
