Doctor’s Best – Benfotiamine with BenfoPure
What is Doctor’s Best Benfotiamine?
Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine-O-monophosphate) is a synthetic derivative of thiamin (Vitamin B1) belonging to the family of compounds known as allithiamines. Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and more bioavailable and physiologically active than thiamin. Benfotiamine helps maintain healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose, provides support against oxidative stress, and supports healthy aging.
How does it work?
Benfotiamine raises the blood level of thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), the biologically active coenzyme of thiamin, and stimulates transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for maintenance of normal glucose metabolic pathways. Benfotiamine can greatly improve thiamin status, especially in comparison with regular forms of thiamin. In a randomized, double-blind crossover trial comparing bioavailability of benfotiamine to that of thiamin mononitrate (the most common supplemental form of vitamin B1) in 12 individuals, benfotiamine caused an average 5-fold greater increase in blood thiamin levels than thiamin mononitrate, with a concomitant greater thiamin concentration in red blood cells. Benfotiamine is converted to S-benzoylthiamin (through removal of the O-monophosphate by the digestive tract), which readily passes through intestinal cells and is converted into thiamin.
Why take Best Benfotiamine?
Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and more bioavailable and physiologically active than thiamin. Benfotiamine helps maintain healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose, provides support against oxidative stress, and supports healthy aging. Benfotiamine helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism by increasing blood and tissue levels of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the biologically active co-enzyme form of thiamine.TPP acts as a co-enzyme for three critical enzymes involved in glucose metabolism: 1) transketolase, 2) pyruvate dehydrogenase, and 3) a-ketogutarate decarboxylase. The latter two enzymes are involved in utilizing glucose for fuel. Thus, TTP is vital to the cell’s energy supply.

This was recommended to me by my doctor for neuropathy. I didn’t think I noticed a difference, but after I stopped taking it, I definitely noticed the neuropathy was more prominent, so I started taking it again. It probably doesn’t help much, but it does help me feel less tingling in my feet.

It works! It really is. We got it for my grandmother. She barely has circulation to her feet due to rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis has twisted both of her knees so badly that her kneecaps are now facing backwards. This contortion affected the nerves as well as the circulation. The neuropathic pain was just awful. She described her pain as heavy and deadly. We were desperate and ordered this. IT WORKS FOR NERVE PAIN.

if you wake up tired and anxious like me and have no energy, consider supplementing with B1. I tried the 150 mg and this one. It’s strong. So if you want to go down, try the lower dose. The quality is good and I have read that it helps the pituitary gland. You will immediately feel the benefits if you have a low B1. But also test before. I have Hashimoto and I’m quite anxious and tired, especially when I’m in crisis.

Quality: I trust the quality of Doctor’s Best supplements. Ingredient: Benfotiamine. It’s the other version of thiamin (vitamin B1) that dissolves in fat, so the body can store it and use it longer. Capsule size: normal, easy to swallow Packaging: 60 day supply only. I hope a bigger package will be available. I take it for eye and nerve protection, Alzheimer’s protection, cognitive enhancement and mental health. I will come back later to report on the result of taking Doctor’s Best Benfotiamine.

I have been very pleased with this B supplement. My doctor specifically recommended benfotiamine because it is easier for people with the MTHFR gene mutation to absorb than other types of B vitamins. The capsule size is excellent and they are easy to swallow. Seems to be of high quality. I really recommend!

This powerful synthetic vitamin B1 is a fat-soluble version of thiamin and it helps regenerate nerve tissue damaged by high blood sugar — it reverses diabetes-related neuropathy! It does this by removing harmful compounds (glycotoxins) called AGEs that cause oxidative stress in the body, leading to chronic disease and diabetic complications. I had SORE feet in 2010 because of this. Since taking benfotiamine supplements with alpha lipoic acid, I haven’t had this pain anymore!! This is a high quality supplement unlike other brands which are NOT. – Nurse Linda

This is believed to be a fat-soluble form of the B vitamin and to have benefits over or in addition to other forms. I believe there may be benefits to taking it, so give it a try. The ingredients seem clean and the quality seems good. If there are advantages, we will buy again.

My friend had a lot of discomfort, especially at night while sleeping with nervous disorders (tingling, numbness). He started taking 1 capsule of Benfotiamine in the morning and 1 capsule at night before bedtime. He told me he rarely had any problems and slept much better. I followed his lead to get rid of the tingling in my foot. The capsule is easy to swallow and tasteless. I recommend this product.
