Viridian HIGH ONE Vitamin B1 with B-Complex200mg of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) in a base of all key B vitamins.

It seems to be especially effective for hypersensitive allergic individuals. Thiamine takes about 2 weeks before the odor fully saturates the skin.
ENERGY PRODUCTION (ATP) - thiamine in the form of thiamine diphosphate (TDP) is required for ATP production. It is essential in the conversion process of pyruvate through to Acetyl-CoA - this then feeds into the Kreb?s cycle.
