Summary
Benfotiamine is a natural form of thiamine (vitamin B1) that has proven to be five times more absorbable than regular thiamine since it more easily crosses the cellular membrane. The benefits of thiamine revolve around its ability to block glycation. Glycation is a normal and spontaneous process that occurs when proteins or lipids bind with sugar in the bloodstream, leading to the formation of harmful compounds called advanced glycation end-products (AGE). Hyperglycemia increases the formation of AGE, which results in significant tissue dysfunction, protein structure disturbances, DNA alteration, and acceleration of the aging process. A prime example is the nerve damage observed in areas such as the limbs, heart, and eyes of diabetics.
Benfotiamine has the unique ability to block the formation of AGE, and supplementing with this compound can help reduce nerve pain and improve nerve function. Numerous clinical trials in humans have shown that benfotiamine is a potent supporter of nerve function in cases of diabetic neuropathy. Regular thiamine cannot block the glycation process.
With our modern diet rich in sugar, millions of people suffer from the many harmful effects of excess sugar in the body. Benfotiamine is a solution for those wanting to guard against detrimental effects such as nerve damage and accelerated cell aging.
Benfotiamine is a natural and bioavailable form of vitamin B1 that can help reduce the symptoms and complications of poorly controlled blood sugar. AOR's Benfotiamine is one of the few products on the market that contains an active form of B1 at a dose supported by scientific data.
