Benfotiamine is the fat soluble form of vitamin B1 clinically tested to offer
protection against advanced glycation end products, typically associated with
blood glucose irregularities.
**Mega Benfotiamine**
Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), supports healthy
blood sugar metabolism and helps protect the body’s tissues against advanced
glycation end products and oxidative stress.66 For example, the enzyme
transketolase is critical to blood sugar metabolism. Like many enzymes,
transketolase requires a co-factor. In this case, it needs assistance from
thiamine. Unfortunately, thiamine is water-soluble, which makes it less
available to the interior of the cell. Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and can
easily penetrate into the inside of cells. It is also more bioavailable than
the water-soluble thiamine.
In a landmark study, benfotiamine effectively increased transketolase activity
in cell cultures by an astounding 300%, compared to a mere 20% for thiamine.
This robust activation was sufficient to block three of the four major
metabolic pathways leading to blood vessel damage. Benfotiamine also blocks
the activation of the transcription factor known as nuclear factor-kappa B
(NF-kB), which is implicated in numerous inflammatory conditions.
Overall, benfotiamine can activate glucose metabolism and promote healthy
blood glucose levels in those already within normal range. Benfotiamine also
helps maintain healthy endothelial function and supports the health of the
nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels, and heart.
