Product details

Description

Life Extension Benfotiamine 100 mg with Thiamine is a premium, dual-action dietary supplement engineered to support healthy blood sugar metabolism and optimal cellular function. This advanced formula combines highly bioavailable, fat-soluble benfotiamine with traditional water-soluble thiamine (Vitamin B1) to optimize delivery throughout your body.

For individuals looking to manage glucose pathways or protect nerve and cardiovascular health, standard Vitamin B1 often falls short because it cannot easily cross cell membranes. Benfotiamine solves this by effortlessly penetrating cells, providing long-lasting cellular thiamine levels.

By boosting vital metabolic enzymes like transketolase, this formula helps convert dietary sugars into usable cellular energy. Additionally, it provides powerful tissue protection by actively inhibiting advanced glycation end products and shielding cells from oxidative stress, making it an excellent choice for adults focused on systemic metabolic wellness.

    Erratic rhythm

    This has steadied my heart rhythm better than any prescription the cardiologists has ever written for me. My fingers and toes are also now pinker and warmer than they have been in years. I think I'll be taking this supplement 3 times a day, for the rest of my life. What a blessing it has been!

    Hedge my bets with this.

    I've used a different brand before this. This looks like a quality brand, and does the job. I'm told that in Europe most doctors give this form of B-vitamin to people with diabetes as a protective measure -- it is said to protect against nerve damage even if your blood sugar is not completely under control. Also for people with other neurological conditions. I have pre-diabetes, but also nerve damage from an accident. I feel that taking this 100mg capsule once or twice a day adds to my over-all well-being. This particular brand's capsule is small and easy to swallow, and doesn't seem to have any unnecessary fillers. Some people with known high blood sugar might take as many as four capsules a day. I'm not at that point and I mainly use this to hedge my bets while I try to modify my life to rid myself of diabetes (I have known people who have done this - -mostly involved greatly increasing their daily activity level - -walking to work, etc.).A friend who is very picky about supplements, always checking for and reading research papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and the better medical journals -- told me that Benfotiamine is something he takes in addition to his diabetes medicine. He has been managing his diabetes very well for 20+ years. If exercise, diet and/or life-circumstances aren't enough or aren't possible, a small dose of Benfotiamine twice a day can't hurt.Outside of the USA -- out in the larger world where some medical research is still being done without having to be under the thumb of a Big Pharmaceutical Company -- solid research supports that taking this supplement can reduce the incidence of neurological damage. So European doctors prescribe it. It is not patented and not highly profitable or highly marketed -- but it fills a niche in preventive medicine. It is a naturally occurring form of B vitamin, and many people in the modern world are deficient in B-vitamins in general. While you are at it, look into a daily vitamin and other supplements. With our fast-paced lives and over-processed foods, most people are missing a lot of nutrients.As long as it remains affordable, I'll add this to my "just in case" supplement routine

    Helps with nerve pain

    I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I was taking antidepressants and nerve pain meds for years for this but due to the side effects, I have decided to come off the meds. Now, I am going through the brutal side effects of the withdrawal. I did some research on benafotamine and decided to give it a try. The first two days I took it in the morning but I noticed it made me too relaxed and sleepy. On the third day I took it an hour before bedtime and fell asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow. I was able to sleep the entire night. It's helps me sleep better, it's improved my pain and also improved my mood and anxiety. I used to wake up 3 or 4 times during the night to use the bathroom and that's gone away too. I haven't had to wake up to use the bathroom at night. I've been taking it for a week now and can already feel the difference. I'm so glad I bought this.

FAQs

Is benfotiamine better than thiamine?

Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamine (Vitamin B1), which allows it to pass through cell membranes much more efficiently than standard water-soluble thiamine. This unique structure results in significantly higher bioavailability, helping your body sustain optimal Vitamin B1 levels inside tissues for a longer period.

Can you take too much benfotiamine?

While benfotiamine is generally well-tolerated because excess amounts are typically processed safely by the body, you should always stay within the recommended daily intake. Following the manufacturer guidelines or consulting your healthcare practitioner ensures you receive the maximum health benefits safely.

Can you take thiamine and vitamin B12 together?

Yes, you can safely take thiamine and Vitamin B12 together, as they work synergistically to support overall nerve function, cellular energy production, and metabolic health. Many advanced nutritional protocols combine different B vitamins to ensure comprehensive neurological and metabolic support.
