Blood levels and urinary excretion of thiamin and riboflavin during oral administration of multivitamin tablets to healthy adults

J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 1992:Spec No:438-41. doi: 10.3177/jnsv.38.special_438.

Abstract

1. The baseline blood thiamin concentration increased gradually during the long-term administration of TTFD, and the blood concentration was dose-dependent. The cumulative urinary thiamin excretion showed the same dose-dependence as the blood concentration. 2. The baseline blood riboflavin concentration also increased steadily during the administration period, but the increase was less than that of thiamin. Dose-dependence of the cumulative urinary excretion of riboflavin was noted. 3. No side effect were observed.
