Official title
The Effectiveness of Benfotiamine in Reducing Abusive Drinking Among Family History Positive and Negative Alcoholics
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
B1AS tests the hypothesis that increased vitamin B1 (thiamine) intake can repair brain systems damaged by alcohol and help people with alcohol problems control their alcohol use. A strong, man-made form of thiamine (Benfotiamine) is used to increase blood thiamine to much higher levels than can be achieved using normal vitamin supplements. Drinking patterns are examined over 6 months of continued supplement use. Men and women with a recent history of alcohol problems are eligible to participate.
