How much B1 as TTFD does this contain? Can Anybody Read Japanese?

[Gcf51]

*** I ended up with High Blood Pressure taking TTFD. I no longer take TTFD. Based on my experience, I would not recommend TTFD. ***

More info on: Takeda Alinamin EX Plus 180 Tablets japanesetaste.com/products/...

Since I can't read chicken prints, I message them if B1 as in TTDF. I probably can't take the recommend 2-3. In fact I might be in the range of 1 every other day.

I have a bottle ordered from from Amazon amazon.com/dp/B081294955?ps...

Better Description but still how much: takaski.com/product/takeda-...

Looks like maybe the hcl version on TTFD.

So... why is this better than the TTFD you have? I can't tell how many mg is in the tablet, and if I did know, I don't know how much of B1, B6, and B12.

[Gcf51 in reply to Bolt_Upright]

I figure they add the B6, and B12. because the B1 will overpower them. To keep a balance.The significance is another B1 to consider. I don't believe its TTFD. Supposedly a drug sold in Japan.

That better description link you sent said it was Fursultiamine.

Wikipedia says: Fursultiamine (INN; chemical name thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide or TTFD; brand names Adventan, Alinamin-F, Benlipoid, Bevitol Lipophil, Judolor, Lipothiamine) is a medication and vitamin used to treat thiamine deficiency. Chemically, it is a disulfide derivative of thiamine and is similar in structure to allithiamine.[1]

Thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD) is the synthetic counterpart of allithiamine, occurring naturally in garlic. Allithiamine was discovered in Japan in 1951.

Seems better to stick with the cheaper TTFD and add some B6 and B12.

Here's what's mentioned on the label :

Class 3 pharmaceutical product.

180 tablets.

For eyestrain, stiff shoulders, lower back pain.

Arinamin

[Gcf51]

Thanks, Look like Arinamin is added sports drinks in Japan.

A search for "prescription Arinamin" yielded:

ALINAMIN EX PLUS contains fursultiamine, a vitamin B1 derivative developed by Takeda,

vitamin B6, and vitamin B12, and is remarkably effective in relieving eye fatigue, stiff shoulders, and lower back pain.

- This medicine also contains calcium pantothenate, which becomes coenzyme A and plays an important role in the production of energy, and vitamin E, which improves blood circulation throughout the body.

This medicine is a yellow, sugarcoated tablet, which is easy to swallow.

Use google translate to convert almost any language. Very intuitive and its free.

[Gcf51 in reply to SAGoodman]

Chicken marks on a label, not sure how I would use. One of the reasons it's hard to search Asian data bases is the difference in type.

[MarionP]

How about trying "Google Translate," any help there?

[Gcf51 in reply to MarionP]

Same: Chicken marks on a label, not sure how I would use Google Translate. One of the reasons it's hard to search Asian data bases is the difference in type.

I wrote Japanese Taste and asked: "Does this contain B1 as TTDF"? They replied, "I just contacted the manufacture and yes, they said it contains TTFD". I just replied, "How many mg? Is it as Fursultiamine hcl or TTFD"?
