* Science-Based Nutrition * Dietary Supplement * BenfoPure * Japanese Benfotiamine * Helps Maintain Healthy Cells * Suitable for Vegetarians Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine-O-mono-phosphate) is a synthetic derivative of thiamin, belonging to the family of compounds known as "allithiamines." Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and more bioavailable and physiologically active than thiamin. Benfotiamine raises the blood level of thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), the biologically active co-enzyme of thiamin, and stimulates transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for maintenance of normal glucose metabolic pathways. * Helps maintain healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose * Controls formation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) * Normalizes cellular processes fueled by glucose metabolites
