NOW Foods, Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine) 100mg, 100 Tablets

Vitamin B-1, also known as Thiamine, is an essential nutrient first classified in 1936 by the chemist Robert Williams.  As a coenzyme, thiamine helps your body metabolize carbohydrates and lipids and in a noncoenzymatic capacity plays a role in nerve tissue.

Why do some B vitamin supplements from NOW® have an odor? Is this normal?

B vitamins by nature do not have a pleasant aroma . This is normal and does not indicate the product is expired or otherwise compromised. The expiration date of any NOW® supplement is printed on the bottom of the bottle.

Sometimes you may get B vitamin powder residue on the capsules, usually yellow in color. Again, this is a normal occurrence. There is often a small amount of powder that escapes during the encapsulation process, and it sometimes coats the outside of the capsules.
