BENFOTIAMINE
This product is not available at the moment
Thiamine, the first vitamin to be identified, is a B vitamin found in foods such as nuts, meats, whole grains and legumes. Also called vitamin B1, thiamine is an essential nutrient for proper cell growth and function. Benfotiamine is a synthetic, or laboratory-derived, version of thiamine. Scientists are studying benfotiamine to determine whether it might be useful in conditions where B1 deficiency causes or exacerbates disease symptoms.
Since benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamine, it has higher absorption rates compared to the water-soluble, naturally occurring form of vitamin B1. Increasing the absorption rate of benfotiamine could help treat conditions related to thiamine deficiency, such as diabetic neuropathy.
