Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine 100mg 120 vegeterian capsules

Benfothiamine is the fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine).

The enzyme transcetolase, which is important for the metabolism of sugars, needs a cofactor to function properly, and this help is provided by thiamine BI. But it is water soluble, so less available inside the cells. Therefore, benthothiamine, which is fat-soluble, can penetrate more easily into cells and help transcetolase as it is more bioavailable.

Various studies have shown that benfothiamine helps and effectively increases the activity of trauscosteolase in cell cultures by 300% compared to thiamine which helps by 20%.

This activation is necessary to stop three of the four metabolic pathways that lead to vascular damage and destruction. Benfothiamine also stops the activation of the replicating agent known as nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-kB), which is involved in a large number of inflammatory processes.
