Benfotiamine, Mega250mg x 120 capsules. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), supports healthy blood sugar metabolism and acts through several mechanisms to block the biochemical pathways by which high blood sugar wreaks havoc throughout the body.
One of the most deleterious effects of "normal" aging is impaired glucose metabolism. Failure to control excess sugar can trigger a cascade of ill health effects throughout the body. Studies have shown that the consumption of foods cooked at high temperatures, as well as the presence of elevated blood sugar levels, result in the body’s production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) - substances which are implicated in accelerating the aging process in blood vessels, the kidneys and the eyes. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), supports healthy blood sugar metabolism and helps protect the body’s tissues against AGEs and oxidative stress.1 In a study published in the journal Diabetes Care, scientists demonstrated for the first time that benfotiamine (1050 mg per day) effectively reduced postprandial endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress normally seen in patients with high blood sugar who were fed a heat-processed meal with a high content of advanced glycation end products.2 Mega Benfotiamine can help support the health of the nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and heart.*
