DISCUSSION: Benfotiamine is an allithiamin, a naturally-occurring lipophilic form of thiamin (vitamin B1). Benfotiamine's superior ability to penetrate cell membranes overcomes the absorption hurdles, which limit the effects of conventional thiamin supplements and of preformed thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP). Its bioavailability is also superior to that of other allithiamines. Benfotiamine is a powerful "late-phase" inhibitor of Advanced Glycation Endproduct (AGE) formation, acting through several mechanisms to reduce the irreversible nonenzymatic modification of the structure and function of bodily proteins by sugars. Unlike most “anti-AGE” supplements, Benfotiamine has been proven to block AGE formation in controlled human and animal studies, and not just a test tube, resulting in documented maintenance of the structure and function of retinal, nervous, glomerulal, and other tissues.*
