However, many B1 vitamin tablets have 100mg-300mg, although I wonder how well that is absorbed compared with an intramuscular shot - it would seem that you could consume the equivalent of 200mg a week.
- bitL 3y agoI read somewhere that gut can only let around 80mg thiamine/day and gut gets saturated over time, so only IM/IV would work long-term.
