Leading thiamine supplement in the US Contains TTFD, a highly bioavailable form of vitamin B1 Crosses the blood-brain barrier and bypasses normal absorption routes Delivers high uptake in the gut and at the cellular level Includes magnesium taurate to support cellular thiamine use About the FounderElliot Overton is a nutritionist based in France, and is considered to be an expert in the clinical application of high-dose thiamine therapy. He frequently lectures and speaks at educational events aimed at practitioners, helping to broaden the understanding and application of thiamine in clinical settings. He is co-founder and CEO of Objective Nutrients, a nutraceutical company specialising in excipient-free thiamine derivatives and related supplements. Thiamax Dosage How much Thiamine per day? 1 capsule per day, with or without food. Avoid coffee/tea consumption either 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking Thiamax. Avoid taking it in the afternoon or evening, as it may interfere with your sleep cycle. It should be taken alongside 200-400 mg of magnesium & a high quality B-complex. For first time users: Start with ½ or ¼ of a capsule per day by emptying the capsule contents into a small glass of water. Increase the thiamine dosage every 3 or 4 days until you reach 1 full capsule per day. Before you start taking Thiamax In some individuals, thiamine supplements like Thiamax can induce a temporary worsening of certain symptoms such as fatigue, brain-fog, and digestive bloating or gas. These side effects usually last for around one week, and are referred to as the “paradoxical reaction”. Thiamax, a synthetic thiamine supplement, contains a highly-bioavailable derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1) called TTFD – thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. This form has been widely researched in Japan for its therapeutic potential in addressing thiamine deficiency. Unlike ordinary forms of Vitamin B1 or thiamine supplements, TTFD’s molecular structure allows it to pass through intestinal and cellular membranes without the requirement for a transport system. Once inside the cell, it can be activated and used as a cofactor in important biochemical processes. TTFD also has a demonstrated capacity to penetrate the blood brain barrier and increase thiamine levels in the brain and central nervous system, where it may be used to support optimal cognition and maintain autonomic nervous system function. Due to its superior bioavailability, TTFD can be taken in much lower doses than what is considered the “therapeutic dose” of other forms such as thiamine salts. Thiamax also contains a small amount of magnesium (as magnesium taurate), which is a mineral that is important for supporting how cells can utilize thiamine, making it a useful way to supply thiamine to the body and improve thiamine status. Also, what makes Thiamax superior to other Thiamine supplements is the fact that it’s the only form of TTFD in the world that doesn’t use any artificial fillers or excipients. FAQs What's Thiamax used for? Is it bio-available? It’s often used for treatment of thiamine deficiency but also useful in supporting energy metabolism, nervous system, and mitochondrial health. This type of thiamine is a highly bio-available form known as TTFD (Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide). How is Thiamax different from benfotiamine or Thiamega?Thiamax uses TTFD (100mg, highly bioavailable) while benfotiamine is less absorbable. Thiamega combines TTFD with other thiamine forms for broader support. See our blog or product pages. Why choose TTFD over other thiamine forms?TTFD crosses cell membranes better for quick, effective absorption. Can Thiamax boost energy or help with fatigue?Yes, especially thiamine derivatives like TTFD and benfotiamine can aid in energy production. Many report feeling a lift within weeks. How much thiamine per day should be taken to begin with?1 capsule daily is the standard dose. However, for people who have never taken thiamine supplements or TTFD before, it is best to start with half or quarter of a capsule. This can be done simply by opening a capsule and emptying a portion of the contents into a cold drink or cold food. How do I start dosing Thiamax TTFD?Begin with 1 capsule daily, monitor for 2 weeks, then adjust as needed. When is the best time to take thiamine supplements or Thiamax?Thiamax is best taken in the morning time or early afternoon. If taken in the evening, it may disrupt your sleep cycle. Either with or without food is fine. The absorption of the supplement is similar either way. Some find it energizing, so try morning first and adjust. Avoid coffee/tea consumption either 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking Thiamax, as the tannins in these beverages can degrade thiamine. What is the maximum dosage of Thiamax?Although some people can benefit from taking multiple capsules, it is advised to not go higher than 3-4 capsules without prescription from a healthcare practitioner. Can I take Thiamax or thiamine long-term?Yes, many do, but consult a healthcare provider for extended use. Can I use Thiamax for specific conditions (e.g., nerve pain, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, allergies, autism, neuropathy, digestive issues, mold illness, CFS, etc)?Some report benefits for various conditions (e.g., clearer thinking, energy, nervous system support), but it’s not a specific treatment. Start low, monitor effects, and consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice. Are there any other supplements which should be taken with Thiamax?Generally, it is advised to supplement Thiamax with 200-400mg of magnesium (in supplemental form) on the same day as Thiamax, and for this we recommend our ThiAssist mineral formula. Likewise, a full-spectrum vitamin B complex is also advised. For this we recommend either our active B complex ThiActive B, or alternatively our methyl-free formula called Thiavite. Please consult with your healthcare provider for specific advice before doing this. Can I use Thiamax to help with my diet (e.g., carnivore, low-carb, vegetarian)?It supports energy metabolism and pairs well with such diets. Adding magnesium or B vitamins may enhance benefits but be sure to consult a nutritionist for more specific advice. Why does it smell strong or cause a sulfur taste when burping?TTFD’s natural strong odor and sulfur taste are normal. Most get used to it fairly quickly.
