Description
"Benfotiamine" is a supplement and a fat-soluble derivative of Vitamin B1 (thiamine), formulated for enhanced absorption and prolonged bioavailability. It plays a role in cellular metabolism by supporting enzyme function and glucose regulation. Benfotiamine is used to protect nerve health, particularly in cases of diabetic and alcoholic neuropathy, while also helping reduce oxidative stress and supporting vascular function. Recognized for its metabolic and neurological applications, benfotiamine remains an essential supplement for nerve support and cardiovascular maintenance.
