What is fursultiamine?

Fursultiamine is the common name of thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide, a synthetic vitamin B1 compound related to allithiamine from garlic.

Is Garlic Injection part of the Signature IV Package?

Yes. It is one of six injections on the package list, and each injection uses one point.

What can I feel during the injection?

Slight dizziness or palpitations may occur while the medication goes in. This varies by individual.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies by person, but we typically recommend at least 10 sessions at weekly intervals.

Can't I just get vitamin B1, the main ingredient, from food?

You can, but vitamin B1 from food is absorbed through the digestive tract, so the effect is not the same as Garlic Injection, which delivers several nutrients directly at high concentrations.

Vitamin B1 and garlic

Garlic InjectionTreatment overview

Garlic Injection is not made from garlic. It gets its name because people say they can smell garlic during the injection.
Nutrients such as vitamin B1 (fursultiamine) travel through the bloodstream to the cells of the body, supplying vitamins that help the body recover from fatigue. It may ease symptoms that can come with built-up fatigue, such as shoulder stiffness, muscle fatigue, joint pain and insomnia, and may also help relieve eye strain and support muscle recovery.
