Benfotiamin er en forbindelse med svært lik struktur som tiamin (vitamin B1), som omdannes til biotilgjengelig B1 etter oral inntak. Det er dokumentert at oral inntak av benfotiamin kan øke tiaminnivået i større grad enn tiamin i seg selv når det tas som tilskudd, slik at mange anser benfotiamintilskudd som en overlegen måte å øke vitamin B1-nivåene på.
The fact that it converts into bioavailable B1 after digestion is exactly why I switched from regular thiamine. I've noticed steadier energy throughout my afternoons without the jittery spike I used to get. Definitely sticking with this form.
I've been taking these after meals for about three weeks now and the fact that they're converted into usable B1 in the body makes me feel like I'm actually getting something out of them, unlike plain thiamine. No weird aftertaste or stomach upset, which is a win in my book.
My neurologist suggested benfotiamine for nerve support and this pill is easy to swallow, no aftertaste at all. Three weeks in, the tingling in my feet has quieted down noticeably.
