Benfotiamine is an allithiamine, a naturally-occurring lipophilic form of thiamin (vitamin B1). Benfotiamine's superior ability to penetrate cell membranes increases its bioavailability over conventional thiamin supplements, thiamin pyrophosphate, and other allithiamines. Benfotiamine is a powerful "late-phase" inhibitor of Advanced Glycation Endproduct (AGE) formation, acting through several mechanisms to reduce the irreversible nonenzymatic modification of the structure and function of bodily proteins by sugars.
Suggested use: Commence with two capsules twice daily for the first month; you may then continue at this dose or reduce to two capsules daily.
