Description

Benfotiamine is a compound with very similar structure to Thiamine (Vitamin B1), which is converted into bioavailable B1 after being orally ingested. There is evidence that oral ingestion of Benfotiamine may increase Thiamine levels to a greater degree than Thiamine itself when orally supplemented so many people regard Benfotiamine supplementation as a superior way to increase vitamin B1 levels.

Recommended Dosage

We recommend a two capsule dosage of 300 mg Benfotiamine per day, which is a sufficient dose to provide enough Thiamine for the vast majority of people. We do not recommend exceeding the recommended dosage unless instructed to do so by a physician as side effects are more likely at higher dosages and it’s possible to get too much Thiamine per day which is likely if this product is used at high dosages.

Side Effects

Benfotiamine is well tolerated in most people and side effects are rare at normal doses. Occasionally side effects including upset stomach, nausea, dizziness, and a decrease in blood pressure have been reported. Side effects are more likely if using high doses of Benfotiamine or taking it in combination with other supplements that contain vitamin B1.
