Life ExtensionBenfotiamine with Thiamine, Healthy Blood Sugar Metabolism Support, 100 mg benfotiamine, Cardiovascular Health, Brain Health, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, 120 Vegetarian Capsules

Fantastic! I bought this after watching several vids on YouTube posted by various doctors who talked about the litany of benefits this essential vitamin Benfotamine provides including the prevention + even reversal of cognitive issues, inflammatory disorders, diabetes sues, eye health, antioxidant qualities & more. Due to our grossly depleted soil it’s no longer naturally in many products like our grains so for some time our government/FDA adds it into many things like various grains, cereals, breads, pastas etc. but even w/this most of us STILL don’t get enough of it every day.I’m young & have no cognitive concerns now but definitely don’t want to develop them either, same goes for cardiovascular issues. I do have inflammatory issues due to a lot of damage to my body, spine, extensive reconstructive surgeries + autoimmune disorders I developed from them, the pain associated w/them & my eyesight has gone from better than 20/20 to not so great anymore. My mom in her elder age has also developed a couple different eye issues cataracts being 1 of them so this is something I’m hoping to also not develop when I’m older..This brand Life Extention is a great well known company that’s been around for a long time & who have great quality supplements of every kind. The price of this was also VERY affordable! I highly recommend this & will definitely rebuy again!Some benefits of Benfotiamine:- Raises thiamine levels in our bodies, a critical B vitamin- Helps manage diabetic complications, may help improve nerve function & reduce pain related to diabetic neuropathy, and may also improve symptoms of diabetes by influencing carbohydrate metabolism.- Helps cardiovascular health.

Makes me feel like I'm getting b1 mental clarity is better, stopped snoring and putting on weight, fingers stopped tingling and it seems I absorb it well the price is right and you get a lot of it too energy is up and it's quite a large bottle. Seems to be of decent quality.

I've used a different brand before this. This looks like a quality brand, and does the job. I'm told that in Europe most doctors give this form of B-vitamin to people with diabetes as a protective measure -- it is said to protect against nerve damage even if your blood sugar is not completely under control. Also for people with other neurological conditions. I have pre-diabetes, but also nerve damage from an accident. I feel that taking this 100mg capsule once or twice a day adds to my over-all well-being. This particular brand's capsule is small and easy to swallow, and doesn't seem to have any unnecessary fillers. Some people with known high blood sugar might take as many as four capsules a day. I'm not at that point and I mainly use this to hedge my bets while I try to modify my life to rid myself of diabetes (I have known people who have done this - -mostly involved greatly increasing their daily activity level - -walking to work, etc.).A friend who is very picky about supplements, always checking for and reading research papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and the better medical journals -- told me that Benfotiamine is something he takes in addition to his diabetes medicine. He has been managing his diabetes very well for 20+ years. If exercise, diet and/or life-circumstances aren't enough or aren't possible, a small dose of Benfotiamine twice a day can't hurt.Outside of the USA -- out in the larger world where some medical research is still being done without having to be under the thumb of a Big Pharmaceutical Company -- solid research supports that taking this supplement can reduce the incidence of neurological damage. So European doctors prescribe it. It is not patented and not highly profitable or highly marketed -- but it fills a niche in preventive medicine. It is a naturally occurring form of B vitamin, and many people in the modern world are deficient in B-vitamins in general. While you are at it, look into a daily vitamin and other supplements. With our fast-paced lives and over-processed foods, most people are missing a lot of nutrients.As long as it remains affordable, I'll add this to my "just in case" supplement routine

Good quality. I recommend it

I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I was taking antidepressants and nerve pain meds for years for this but due to the side effects, I have decided to come off the meds. Now, I am going through the brutal side effects of the withdrawal. I did some research on benafotamine and decided to give it a try. The first two days I took it in the morning but I noticed it made me too relaxed and sleepy. On the third day I took it an hour before bedtime and fell asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow. I was able to sleep the entire night. It's helps me sleep better, it's improved my pain and also improved my mood and anxiety. I used to wake up 3 or 4 times during the night to use the bathroom and that's gone away too. I haven't had to wake up to use the bathroom at night. I've been taking it for a week now and can already feel the difference. I'm so glad I bought this.

Been using for years. Just remember you need to take extra magnesium and potassium with it or you may get side effects like insomnia. Watch videos by Elliott Overton about this.
