Thiamine /vit B1 where to find

[gboy]

Hi I am looking for a supplier of Thiamine
Also known as vit B1, all the dischems and clicks / takelot all have it as a multivitamin or B-Complex.

I am looking for plain Thiamine 250 - 500mg capsules. A lot of what is "available in South Africa" are just drop shipping from overseas, 25 day lead times ect.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

No, don't like drink. Type 1 diabetic, it helps with the conversion of carbs into energy, Type 1 diabetics are very deficient in it. We can have up to 75% less than a normal person.

Would it not be better to use fat for energy as carbs will rise your blood sugar?

That's what insulin is for, if you completely screw it up, your body breaks down fat, causes acid as a by product, ends you up in a situation called diabetic ketoacidosis, and it put me in a coma and ICU for a week.
