Benfotiamine - 120 capsules

Formula Overview

Benfotiamine provides 300 mg of fat-soluble thiamin per two-capsule serving. The fat-soluble form supports better absorption and longer tissue residence than ordinary water-soluble thiamin, with a particular role in nerve and microvascular wellness.

A note from Evey

Thiamin is one of the original B vitamins the nervous system depends on. The trouble with regular thiamin is that it dissolves in water and clears the body quickly. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form. It absorbs more efficiently and stays in tissues longer, which means each dose does more work for nerve and small-vessel function.

What makes benfotiamine distinctive is that it has been studied for its support of healthy glucose metabolism. That gives it a particular role in supporting the microvasculature of the retina and kidney along with peripheral nerve health.

Eyes are a quiet barometer of metabolic and vascular wellness. The retina is dense with capillaries, and the same circuits that supply working muscles also supply those vessels. Supporting them upstream is part of long-arc metabolic care, especially when blood sugar has had to work hard over the years.

I usually pair benfotiamine with consistent sleep, daylight on the eyes early in the day, and steady protein at meals. Start with one capsule twice daily and adjust from there based on how your body responds.
