Came across this as I was doing some more research on thiamine and liver health- pretty interesting. If someone can get the full study that would be awesome too. It is the disulfide form so not sure how the HCL form would compare maybe @haidut can do the translation?.
Just shows hows simple vitamin B1 and B2 can be strongly influential against infections.
Thiamine disulfide as a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus (type-1) production. - PubMed - NCBI
Thiamine disulfide (500 microM) blocked 99.7% of HIV-1 production after 96 hr culture in acute HIV-1 (LAV-1) infection (m.o.i. = 0.002), whereas it inhibited 90-98% of HIV-1 production in chronic-infected cells (CEM/LAV-1, H9/MN, and Molt-4/IIIB). The results suggest that thiamine disulfide may be important for AIDS chemotherapy.
