Thiamine is needed for normal blood sugar metabolism via a non-oxygen-dependent metabolic pathway called the pentose phosphate pathway.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe products of this pathway are needed for fatty acid, amino acid and nucleotide synthesis. Adequate levels of thiamine are especially critical to supporting  healthy brain function, where cells rely on the pentose phosphate pathway for energy.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThiamine also helps encourage the body’s tissues against advanced glycation end products and oxidative stress, making maintaining optimal levels important for supporting cardiovascular and metabolic health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-hidden=\"false\" id=\"detailsCollapse\" class=\"collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, thiamine in most supplements (thiamine hydrochloride) is water-soluble, which makes it less available to the interior of the cell. As a fat-soluble form of thiamine, benfotiamine can easily penetrate the inside of cells. It has been shown to support thiamine levels faster and for longer than the water-soluble thiamine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiamine is a cofactor for the pentose phosphate pathway enzyme, transketolase.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn one study, benfotiamine effectively increased transketolase activity in cell cultures by 300%, compared with 20% for thiamine. This activation helps promote blood vessel health.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBenfotiamine also supports a healthy inflammatory response in nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and encourages expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which supports antioxidant activity in cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenfotiamine has further been found to inhibit formation of neurofibrillary tangles and tau protein damage in brain tissue and support healthy lifespan in preclinical studies, as well as maintain endothelial cell function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, benfotiamine can support healthy glucose metabolism and promote healthy blood glucose levels in those already within normal range. Benfotiamine with Thiamine is a dietary supplement that can help maintain blood sugar levels in those already within normal range and support the health of the nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"navigationAnchorTitle navigation-anchor-title\" id=\"supplementfacts\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-header\"\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productSupplementFacts product-supplement-facts mb-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tabs-supplement_facts\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ctable cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" class=\"wwwProdLDTableIngredients\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Size 1 vegetarian capsule\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" class=\"wwwProdLDCellAmountPerServing\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wwwProdLDTextAmountPerServing\"\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellIngredientA\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiamine (vitamin B1) (as thiamine HCl)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellIngredientA\" align=\"right\" width=\"20%\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellIngredientA\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenfotiamine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellIngredientA\" align=\"right\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" class=\"wwwProdLDCellOtherIngredients\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose (capsule), silica, vegetable stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDTitleSections\"\u003eDosage and Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake one (1) capsule four times daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productWarnings product-warnings\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarnings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not purchase if outer seal is broken or damaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9623\/1346\/files\/capsule_2_f40a2c1a-59b9-496c-a148-7cf8ade6b81d.jpg?v=1781581762\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Racepack","offers":[{"title":"120 Veg Caps","offer_id":47587046719666,"sku":"Life-Ext-Benfotiamine-Thiamine-100mg-120-Caps","price":27.95,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9623\/1346\/files\/1_25a870e6-6c1c-41d8-9d4c-91f52dcfcb0d.png?v=1781581701","url":"https:\/\/racepack.sg\/products\/life-extension-benfotiamine-with-thiamine","provider":"Racepack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
