A high-potency, bioavailable B1 product from a trusted brand, excellent for intensive nerve and metabolic support.
Dose: 100mg, Quantity: 120
This Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine product offers a substantial 250mg dose of benfotiamine, a highly bioavailable, fat-soluble form of Vitamin B1. This increased potency is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking stronger support for nerve health, glucose metabolism, and addressing thiamine deficiencies, as benfotiamine is better absorbed and retained in the body than conventional thiamine. Its higher dosage makes it more suitable for targeted therapeutic applications recommended by many nutritionists for conditions like diabetic neuropathy.
- High 250mg dose of Benfotiamine, suitable for therapeutic use.
- Uses Benfotiamine, a superior bioavailable form of B1.
- From Life Extension, a reputable brand.
- Good review count.
- 120 servings provide a long-lasting supply.
- Higher price per serving compared to some alternatives, though justified by the higher dose and form.
