Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine 250 mg – With Fat Soluble Thiamine Vitamin B1 for Glucose Metabolism – Advanced Nerve Health Supplement Pill – Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian – 120 Capsules
Description
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). 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.
Features:
- MAINTAIN ALREADY-HEALTHY GLUCOSE LEVELS Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine). It also helps protect your bodys tissues against oxidative stress and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), compounds that accumulate with age.
- SUPERIOR BIOAVAILABILITY – Benfotiamine may also be more helpful than thiamine. Transketolase is an important enzyme for supporting healthy glucose metabolism that requires thiamine to get the job done. Since benfotiamine circulates in your system longer than water-soluble thiamine, it's been shown to increase the enzyme's activity by 300%, compared to just 20% for thiamine.
- HEALTHY ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION – Benfotiamine helps inhibit inflammatory factors to support healthy endothelial function. It helps block the activation of certain protein complexes. So, taking Mega Benfotiamine not only helps promote healthy glucose metabolism and promote already-healthy blood glucose levels, it also supports healthy endothelial function.
