Highlights
Doctor’s Best Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble highly bioavailable derivative of thiamine (Vitamin B1). Benfotiamine is activated in the bloodstream to release thiamine, and remains available in the body four times longer than water-soluble thiamin. Benfotiamine activates transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for glucose metabolism pathway. It helps support the circulatory and nervous systems with radical-scavenging action against oxidative stress, providing a positive influence on Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs).
GLUCOSE METABOLISM SUPPORT: Glucose is one of our body’s best sources of energy - and is available through bread, fruits, vegetables and more. Taking Benfotiamine daily can assist in regulating glucose levels, already within normal range, and help to counter the serious health issues related to sustained high blood sugar.
MANAGE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR: Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine, a super nutrient linked to maintaining normal glucose levels. A derivative of thiamine, Benfotiamine is more bioavailable and can be absorbed at higher doses than its counterpart, thiamine. For those with glucose levels within normal range, Benfotiamine can be a powerful tool in supporting healthy blood sugar levels and protecting against oxidative stress.
MAINTAINS NERVOUS SYSTEM HEALTH: By taking Benfotiamine the blood levels of vitamin B1 can be boosted, supporting the body’s nerves and nervous system.
Description
Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine-O-monophosphate) is a derivative of thiamin, belonging to the family of compounds known as "allithiamines." Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and more bioavailable and physiologically active than thiamin. Benfotiamine raises the blood level of thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), the biologically active co-enzyme of thiamin, and stimulates transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for maintenance of normal glucose metabolic pathways.
