Superior Source B-1 100 mg - Vitamin B Supplement Supports Healthy Energy & Growth - Nervous & Digestive System Support Formula with Thiamin - 100 Sublingual Dissolving Tablets

I have a 14-15 year old cat that developed seizures after getting a convenia shot this past winter, being on an rx kibble for struvites, and metronidazole for a c.perfringens infection over the winter and spring. Both drugs and the d-methionine in the kibble to lower urine ph lower the seizure threshold. It wasn't until he was given just two doses of the metronidazole that the seizures manifested clearly and scarily ~ tonic clonic aka grand mal seizures. Looking back to the winter his symptoms appear to be seizures. Seizure meds have helped for the most part but he's still having too many periods of him looking out of it and lost and walking around in circles which point to absent seizures aka petit mal seizures. He's on a keto diet with MCT oil to help with the seizures but we just started the MCT oil about 3 weeks ago. We've added homeopathic remedies and an herbal remedy for pets specifically for seizures which bring him out of it for a while. My daughter who spends the majority of time with him has been researching (as have I) and stumbled across a case study of two cats presenting with seizures due to thiamine deficiency. Both recovered quickly after B1 injections. As well as another article written by a woman who suffers from metronidazole toxicity and found that she had a thiamine deficiency that contributed greatly to her symptoms, one of which was a slightly enlarged heart (the vet has detected a grade 1-2 murmur which is also a thiamine deficiency symptom). So I got this to give it a try. We are starting at a lower cat-sized dose since he appears to be sensitive to everything. I cannot even give him CoQ10 for his heart since it triggers seizures. Anyways we're on day 2 of supplementing so too soon to tell if it's helping. I dissolved a couple of tablets in water in 10 mls of water in a small brown glass bottle and keep in the fridge. To dose him I pull the amount I want (this morning was 25mg ~ so 1.5ml) into a dosing syringe and squirt it down his throat. He doesn't seem to mind it. I guess he's gotten used to all the supplements we've been giving him. I also got the b-complex by the same company for kids to make sure he's not getting depleted in the other b's. I just put the tablet in a dosing syringe and pull in a mil or two of water to squirt down his throat so it's over quick.So people who are having problems getting past the bitterness or taste of the b100, they can try what we've been doing. Dissolve the tablet in a small amount of water (1 teaspoon or less) and then hold your breath and put it in your mouth and let it absorb into your mouth. Holding your breath will help blunt the taste. Follow up with a sip of water.

I really like these B1 tabs they worked quickly and the taste isn’t bad at all, it tasted like baby aspirin really. I use to take lower doses in another brand & found this brand and dosage. I can say I really like the quick results. Thank you for make this B1 tabs. I give it a 5 star for quality and efficiency.

These can be swallowed whole, but I purchased this particular one because they are sublingual dissolving tablets, which are supposed to have a higher absorption rate (for those of us that have chronic gastritis) and I wanted to see if I could avoid having to have B1 shots. I can't speak as to their effectiveness because I only tried one and plan to purchase a different brand, but they taste like a horribly bitter pill, like literally dissolving a normal pill in your mouth. It took hours to get the bitter taste out of my mouth. And I'm not being a pansy, I take liquid supplements that do not taste good by any stretch, and they even upset my stomach sometimes. But if you are wanting these to take sublingually, I do not recommend it. There are capsules that are cheaper and higher mg dose if you just want a normal pill to swallow whole.

If you keep it under the tongue, the flavor comes out much more gradually. Frankly, it tastes little different from children’s acetaminophen chewables.

I can't stand the taste. I have to swallow them and still I burp that taste for at least an hour. I am going to finish the bottle because I paid for it, but I did stop my subscription.

I do not understand why everyone is rating this supplement base on the taste not on the efficacy and quality of the supplement. I was deficient in B1 and I started using this supplement for 7 Months and now my levels are at a normal range. I agree the taste is bitter I take it in the morning on an empty and at night, it helps me to sleep better. I drink a little bit of lemon water after taking it, after a while you get use to the taste. I highly recommend it. Clean ingredients and top quality supplement.

Good for you but tastes like hell

*Please read the whole thing*These comments are not exaggerating. I cannot tolerate pills so I have cut every medicine imaginable in half. This was by far the worst tasting med I've ever had. But I got used to it!At first I quite literally had to eat a mint after taking this tablet, but a month later I don't even notice it. It's become apart of my daily routineI used to wake up exhausted, could barely get out of bed, dizzy during the day and had to take naps or drink multiple cups of coffee.Now I'm waking up well rested and I have more energy. If I go a week without taking these vitamins, I notice! This stuff is the real deal. Life changing
