leaderboard Score 80.0
A solid mid-dose benfotiamine option from a reputable brand, offering enhanced B1 absorption for nerve and metabolic support.
This Source Naturals Benfotiamine product provides 150mg of benfotiamine, a well-regarded lipid-soluble derivative of Vitamin B1. This dose is often a good starting point for individuals seeking more targeted support for nerve health and blood sugar metabolism than standard thiamine can provide, owing to benfotiamine's superior bioavailability and ability to counteract advanced glycation end-products. While Source Naturals is a known brand, the smaller serving size (60 capsules) means more frequent reordering compared to larger bottles.
- Uses Benfotiamine, a superior bioavailable form of B1.
- 150mg is a good mid-range dose for many applications.
- Source Naturals is a fairly reputable brand.
- Price per serving is higher than some higher-dose benfotiamine alternatives.
- 60 servings bottle is relatively small.
