Improved Thiamine Bioavailability

Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamine with higher bioavailability than water-soluble thiamine. This increased bioavailability leads to improved absorption and utilization of thiamine in the body.

Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of thiamine (vitamin B1), exhibits enhanced bioavailability compared to water-soluble thiamine hydrochloride. This enhanced bioavailability results in a greater proportion of the ingested benfotiamine being absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream. The increased absorption allows for improved tissue uptake and utilization of thiamine, supporting various cellular functions that depend on thiamine as a cofactor, such as carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function.
