      <description><![CDATA[Hello Rachel, 
I'm glad to hear that you found the article reminiscent of your organic chemistry days. Understanding the intricacies of how molecules are absorbed and utilized by the body can be fascinating. It's indeed unfortunate that direct supplementation of TPP doesn't provide added benefits due to its stripped phosphate groups during digestion. However, it's great to know that benfotiamine, another form of thiamine, is more easily absorbed and converted to TPP within cells. You can discover more about benfotiamine by reading this article, <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/benfotiamine/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/benfotiamine/</a>

Happy reading!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I felt like I was back in organic chemistry reading this article-in a good way! It's unfortunate that one can't get an added benefit from direct supplementation of TPP with the molecule is stripped of its phosphate groups during digestion and is absorbed only as thiamine but great that another thiamine form, benfotiamine, is  more readily absorbed across the digestive tract and then into cells, where it can be summarily converted to TPP. Thanks for adding the note that the B1 transporter requires folic acid-it makes sense why those two vitamins are often paired together in supplements now!]]></description>
