Thiamine is needed for normal blood sugar metabolism via a non-oxygen-dependent metabolic pathway called the pentose phosphate pathway. The products of this pathway are needed for fatty acid, amino acid and nucleotide synthesis. Adequate levels of thiamine are especially critical to supporting healthy brain function, where cells rely on the pentose phosphate pathway for energy. Thiamine also helps encourage the body’s tissues against advanced glycation end products and oxidative stress, making maintaining optimal levels important for supporting cardiovascular and metabolic health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, thiamine in most supplements (thiamine hydrochloride) is water-soluble, which makes it less available to the interior of the cell. As a fat-soluble form of thiamine, benfotiamine can easily penetrate the inside of cells. It has been shown to support thiamine levels faster and for longer than the water-soluble thiamine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiamine is a cofactor for the pentose phosphate pathway enzyme, transketolase. In one study, benfotiamine effectively increased transketolase activity in cell cultures by 300%, compared with 20% for thiamine. This activation helps promote blood vessel health. Benfotiamine also supports a healthy inflammatory response in nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and encourages expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which supports antioxidant activity in cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenfotiamine has further been found to inhibit formation of neurofibrillary tangles and tau protein damage in brain tissue and support healthy lifespan in preclinical studies, as well as maintain endothelial cell function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, benfotiamine can support healthy glucose metabolism and promote healthy blood glucose levels in those already within normal range. Benfotiamine with Thiamine is a dietary supplement that can help maintain blood sugar levels in those already within normal range and support the health of the nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-header-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-header-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the entire label and follow the directions carefully prior to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake one (1) capsule four times daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-header-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Ingredients: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-header-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicrocrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose (capsule), silica, vegetable stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-header-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-header-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not exceed recommended dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not purchase if outer seal is broken or damaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore tightly closed in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hilife-product-supplement-box\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hilife-product-supplement-label\"\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hilife-product-supplement-label\"\u003eServing Size: \u003c\/span\u003e 1 Vegetarian Capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 70%; border-right: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border-right: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\"\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e% Daily Value\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-right: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\"\u003eThiamine (vitamin B1) (as thiamine HCl)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-right: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\"\u003e25 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2083%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-right: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\"\u003eBenfotiamine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-right: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\"\u003e100 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e**\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\"\u003e**Daily Value not established.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Life Extension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32504941543490,"sku":"737870920120","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/6427\/1680\/files\/Life_20Extension_737870920120.jpg?v=1732045995","url":"https:\/\/hilifevitamins.com\/en-ca\/products\/life-extension-737870920120","provider":"HiLife Vitamins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
