What Is Mega Benfotiamine?
Mega Benfotiamine is formulated with 250 mg of benfotiamine and 10 mg
of thiamine (vitamin B1) to support healthy blood sugar metabolism. It
also helps protect your body against oxidative stress and glycation, a
biochemical reaction that can contribute to a variety of age-related
factors.
Benfotiamine can modulate glucose metabolism and support
already-healthy blood glucose levels.
Mega Benfotiamine Benefits
-
Helps support healthy blood sugar metabolism
-
Supports already-healthy blood glucose levels
-
Offers protection against advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
& oxidative stress
Benfotiamine Better Than Thiamine?
Benfotiamine may also be more helpful in certain situations than
thiamine: for example, the enzyme transketolase is critical to
blood sugar metabolism and requires thiamine as a cofactor.
Unfortunately, the water-soluble thiamine is less available to the
interior of the cell, while benfotiamine is fat-soluble and can
easily penetrate the cell membrane.
Product Details
Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine),
provides healthy blood sugar metabolism support and helps
protect the body’s tissues against advanced glycation end
products (AGEs) and oxidative stress.
Benfotiamine is also more bioavailable than the
water-soluble thiamine.1 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. Benfotiamine
also blocked the activation of the transcription factor
known as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB). 2
Overall, benfotiamine can modulate glucose metabolism and
promote healthy blood glucose levels already within the
normal range. By doing so, benfotiamine also helps inhibit
the formation of AGEs and supports healthy endothelial
function.3
