Thiamine is a vitamin B1 compound that participates in energy metabolism primarily after conversion to thiamine diphosphate, a coenzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and other alpha-ketoacids. Dietary thiamine is absorbed in the small intestine, and the body stores only limited amounts, primarily in the liver. Reference materials commonly distinguish the parent thiamine entity from salts such as thiamine hydrochloride and thiamine mononitrate.

This record represents vitamin B1/thiamine as a reference compound and does not imply a single pharmaceutical salt, dosage form, or clinical regimen. Evidence-backed administration information is included only to identify documented pharmaceutical routes. Half-life and onset were left blank because the authoritative sources reviewed did not provide a single generally applicable value for thiamine across forms and routes. CommonSizes was left empty because available strengths vary substantially by salt, dosage form, jurisdiction, and indication; these are formulation facts rather than intrinsic compound properties.

Thiamine is water-soluble and is present in foods, fortified foods, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical preparations. Most dietary thiamine occurs in phosphorylated forms that are hydrolyzed to free thiamine before absorption. Thiamine hydrochloride is described as freely soluble in water, soluble in glycerin, slightly soluble in alcohol, and insoluble in ether and benzene. Thiamine hydrochloride is rapidly destroyed in neutral or alkaline solutions and is comparatively stable in the dry state.
