Benfotiamine (300 mg)
Product overview
Benfotiamine by Doctor's Best provides a uniquely bioavailable, fat-soluble form of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) designed for optimal absorption and cellular activity.
What is Benfotiamine?
Unlike standard water-soluble thiamine, benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative that crosses intestinal cell membranes more efficiently. This enhanced absorption makes benfotiamine particularly effective at higher doses, where regular thiamine absorption typically declines.
Once absorbed, benfotiamine converts into active thiamine within cells, where it:
- Supports healthy glucose metabolism - Contributing to normal blood sugar balance and carbohydrate processing
- Contributes to nervous system function - Supporting nerve cell health and sensory function
- Supports cellular energy production - Acting as a coenzyme in the transketolase pathway for efficient energy metabolism
- Supports the maintenance of antioxidant defences - Contributing to the body's natural protection against oxidative stress and Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs)
How Benfotiamine Works
Benfotiamine supports thiamine-dependent enzymes like transketolase, which play essential roles in glucose and energy metabolism. By maintaining optimal thiamine activity inside cells, it supports the body to process carbohydrates efficiently and maintain balanced cellular energy levels.
The enhanced bioavailability of benfotiamine also means better support for the body's natural antioxidant defences, helping maintain cell integrity and supporting healthy ageing processes.
