Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.unitedpharmacies.com/Arcalion-Sulbutiamine.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12973384 http://www.smartnootropics.co.uk/sulbutiamine/

Sulbutiamine (isobutyryl thiamine disulfide) is a lipophilic derivative of thiamine. It is available over-the-counter in several countries either as a component of nutritional supplements or as a pharmaceutical preparation. Arcalion (Sulbutiamine) is prescribed as a treatment to help patients with a range of conditions such as asthenia, chronic fatigue, diabetes, hypothyroidism, renal disease, fibromyalgia, and depression (post partum). It remedies the symptoms of weakness by increasing focus, strength (both physical and mental), and energy, making you more alert, less lethargic, and more upbeat whilst also helping to stabilize sleeping patterns. In addition, this medication can also help a patient`s memory, and strengthen thinking processes. Some patient`s have even reported slight eyesight improvements. This product is also popular with athletes as a nutritional supplement as it is a vitamin compound which will not show up in competitive sports blood testing. It can help to achieve your maximum potential and replenish energy after strenuous activities, making it possible to maintain your edge. The presence of sulbutiamine in urinary doping control samples was monitored to evaluate the relevance of its use in sports. The motivating, confidence enhancing effects of sulbutiamine are thought to be related to its ability to enhance dopamine sensitivity. In animal models sulbutiamine has been shown to increase the number of dopamine binding sites (specifically D1) in the prefrontal cortex, this effect is achieved through reduction of dopamine release. Sulbutiamine could be best thought of as a dopamine modulator rather than a compound that directly inhibits or enhances the release of dopamine. Additionally sulbutiamine has been found to enhance memory, possibly by cholinergic transmission. Research indicates that high affinity choline uptake (HACU) was moderately increased in rodent brains following sulbutiamine consumption. However it should be noted the doses used were high (300 mg/kg).
