Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine Description Fat & Water Soluble Vitamin B1 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.1 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. Directions Take one (1) capsule four times daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. If using Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer or Super Carnosine, only two (2) to three (3) capsules daily are needed to reach the optimal dose of 400 mg daily.
