Benfotiamine

Benfotiamine is a fat soluble derivative of vitamin B1. In addition to its physical and chemical properties, it is different from water-soluble vitamin B1 in structure. It has an open thiazole ring and forms a physiological active vitamin B1 through closed-loop action in vivo.

Description

Function:

Benfotiamine is a bioavailable form of vitamin B1 that inhibits advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reduces oxidative stress, supporting nerve health, cellular energy production, and diabetic complication management.

 

Application:

Benfotiamine is clinically applied to manage diabetic neuropathy, alleviating pain and improving nerve function by blocking advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reducing oxidative damage. It supports metabolic health through blood sugar regulation and anti-inflammatory effects, commonly formulated in dietary supplements (150-600 mg/day) for cellular energy and antioxidant support.
