BENFOTIAMINE (VITAMIN B1)

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamin, is necessary for healthy metabolism and for the normal function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Benfotiamine has unique characteristics, which are not shared by typical vitamin B1 supplements. Benfotiamine is lipid soluble, which allows for better penetration through the cellular membranes. It has been shown to be 5 times more absorbable than thiamine. Benfotiamine capsules are created using purple carrot powder, this helps to protect ingredients from light and add a fun branding element. [V-CAPS]

About Benfotiamine...

Vitamin B1 was the first vitamin to be discovered. It was also the first time the word vitamin, which literally means "essential to life", was used.
Benfotiamine is a lipid soluble form of vitamin B1 which studies have shown to be more absorable and safer than thiamin.

Benfotiamine also prevents protein glycation (known as the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products), a role that is not shared by thiamin. protein glycation is an ongoing biological process that leads to significant tissue dysfunction, disrupts protein structures, damages DNA, and speeds up the aging process.

Benfotiamine up-regulates the function of a specific cofactor, which prevents the final and irreversible attachment of sugar molecules to the proteins in our tissues. The increased presence of sugar molecules speeds up the rate at which protein glycation occurs, making supplementation with Benfotiamine important for anyone affected with diabetes. The benefits of Benfotiamine for diabetics have been demonstrated in several clinical trails. One such trial demonstrated a 50% reduction in diabetic nerve pain, along with an increased ability of the nerves to detect an electrical current, respond to electrical stimulation, and regulate the heartbeat.

What are B Vitamins?
B vitamins are a complex of water-soluble vitamins. They are called "B Complex" because you do not find any one of them in a specific food or living tissue without the others being present. B vitamins complement each other. They are responsible mainly for the health and maintenance of nerves, eyes, digestion and skin, as well as the processing of carbohydrates, fat and protein, growth, the production of hormones and digestive enzymes, prevention of anaemia, maintenance of the sex glands, sebaceous glands and bone marrow.

Because of their solubility they cannot be stored in the body, so whatever is not utilized is rapidly excreted. However, a certain balance is advisable making a B Complex supplement ideal rather than taking large amounts of just one or two B vitamins. The B-complex vitamins are a group of similarly structured compounds, which is why they are referred to as a "Complex" vitamin. This complex of vitamins consists of B1 (thiamine HCL), B2 (riboflavin 5-phosphate and riboflavin HCL), B3 flush free (inositol hexanicotinate) and Niacinamide, B5 (D-pantothenic acid, calcium), B6 (pyridoxal 5-phosphate and pyridoxine HCL) and, B7 (biotin), B12 (cyanocobalamine), and folic acid.

Why do I Need B Vitamins?
The Nutrition Almanac states that B vitamins "may be the single most important factor for maintenance of the nerves."B vitamins are essential for healthy skin, hair, eyes, mouth and liver. Water-soluble B vitamins are not stored in the body and must be replenished daily.

All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of riboflavin in them. If additional supplementation of riboflavin is needed it should be taken in addition to a good B complex. Most B vitamins are water-soluble and any extra from large doses is flushed out of the body easily, therefore it's best to take lower dosages of the B complex several times a day than one larger dose. Spray or sublingual forms of B vitamins are easily absorbed, as are capsules - if your digestion is healthy, then the tablet form is usually suitable for most people.
