Benfotiamine is a natural form of thiamine (vitamin B1) that has been shown to be 5 times more absorbable than regular thiamine because it crosses cell membranes more easily. Thiamine's benefits revolve around its ability to block glycation. Glycation is a normal, spontaneous process that occurs when proteins or lipids combine with sugar in the bloodstream, leading to the formation of harmful compounds called advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Hyperglycemia increases the formation of AGEs, leading to significant tissue dysfunction, disruption of protein structure, DNA damage, and acceleration of the aging process. A prime example is the nerve damage seen in areas such as the limbs, heart, and eyes of diabetics.
Benfotiamine has the unique ability to block the formation of AGEs, and supplementation with this compound can help reduce nerve pain and improve nerve function. Numerous human clinical trials have shown that benfotiamine is a powerful support for nerve function in cases of diabetic neuropathy. Regular thiamine is unable to block the glycation process.
With our modern, sugar-rich diet, millions of people experience the many harmful effects of excess sugar on the body. Benfotiamine is a solution for people seeking protection against harmful effects such as nerve damage and accelerated cellular aging.
In 2001, AOR was the first supplement company to market benfotiamine in North America. Benfotiamine is a natural, bioavailable form of vitamin B1 that can help reduce the symptoms and complications of poorly controlled blood sugar. AOR's benfotiamine is one of the few products on the market that contains an active form of B1 at a dose supported by scientific data.
