Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), provides healthy blood sugar metabolism support and helps protect the body’s tissues against advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and oxidative stress.
Benfotiamine is also more bioavailable than the water-soluble thiamine.1 In a landmark study, benfotiamine effectively increased transketolase activity in cell cultures by an astounding 300%, compared to a mere 20% for thiamine. This robust activation was sufficient to block three of the four major metabolic pathways. Benfotiamine also blocked the activation of the transcription factor known as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB). 2
Overall, benfotiamine can modulate glucose metabolism and promote healthy blood glucose levels already within the normal range. By doing so, benfotiamine also helps inhibit the formation of AGEs and supports healthy endothelial function.3
Mega Benfotiamine contains both the fat-soluble and water-soluble forms of vitamin B1 (thiamine) to support certain aspects of normal metabolic health. Maintaining these levels helps to protect your body against advanced glycation end (AGE) products and oxidative stress.
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) that supports healthy metabolism.
Benfotiamine helps protect your body’s tissues against advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are compounds that accumulate with age.
Benfotiamine helps protect your body against oxidative stress.
As a form of B1, benfotiamine also delivers the more well-known benefits of B, support for healthy energy, healthy memory and nervous system health.
