Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine, or Vitamin B-1. This form of thiamine is more bioavailable, meaning it can be more effectively absorbed into the body, and has greater physiological activity. It helps to ensure the maintenance of normal glucose levels via transketolase enzyme stimulation, necessary for regulating healthy glucose metabolism. Additionally, healthy glucose levels are essential for the wellbeing of renal and retinal endothelial cells.*
