To date, no well-established toxic effects from the consumption of excess thiamin in food or through long-term oral supplementation (up to 200 mg/day) are known (15, 20).
A small number of life threatening allergic reactions have been observed with large intravenous doses of thiamin (15).
Presently, a tolerable upper level (UL) of intake for vitamin B1 (thiamin) has not been defined as there is no human data for adverse effects from high doses.
Please note:
Because of the potential for interactions, dietary supplements should not be taken with medication without first talking to an experienced healthcare provider.
