Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine, Fat & Water Soluble Vitamin B1, Gluten Free, Healthy Metabolism, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, 100 mg, 120 Vegetarian Capsules

I've used a different brand before this. This looks like a quality brand, and does the job. I'm told that in Europe most doctors give this form of B-vitamin to people with diabetes as a protective measure -- it is said to protect against nerve damage even if your blood sugar is not completely under control. Also for people with other neurological conditions. I have pre-diabetes, but also nerve damage from an accident. I feel that taking this 100mg capsule once or twice a day adds to my over-all well-being. This particular brand's capsule is small and easy to swallow, and doesn't seem to have any unnecessary fillers. Some people with known high blood sugar might take as many as four capsules a day. I'm not at that point and I mainly use this to hedge my bets while I try to modify my life to rid myself of diabetes (I have known people who have done this - -mostly involved greatly increasing their daily activity level - -walking to work, etc.).A friend who is very picky about supplements, always checking for and reading research papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and the better medical journals -- told me that Benfotiamine is something he takes in addition to his diabetes medicine. He has been managing his diabetes very well for 20+ years. If exercise, diet and/or life-circumstances aren't enough or aren't possible, a small dose of Benfotiamine twice a day can't hurt.Outside of the USA -- out in the larger world where some medical research is still being done without having to be under the thumb of a Big Pharmaceutical Company -- solid research supports that taking this supplement can reduce the incidence of neurological damage. So European doctors prescribe it. It is not patented and not highly profitable or highly marketed -- but it fills a niche in preventive medicine. It is a naturally occurring form of B vitamin, and many people in the modern world are deficient in B-vitamins in general. While you are at it, look into a daily vitamin and other supplements. With our fast-paced lives and over-processed foods, most people are missing a lot of nutrients.As long as it remains affordable, I'll add this to my "just in case" supplement routine

Makes me feel like I'm getting b1 mental clarity is better, stopped snoring and putting on weight, fingers stopped tingling and it seems I absorb it well the price is right and you get a lot of it too energy is up and it's quite a large bottle. Seems to be of decent quality.

I have more energy now that I take it. taking it for two weeks now.

Good Product and works for me

Used several times. It works well.

Economical product in the perfect size container to try.

I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I was taking antidepressants and nerve pain meds for years for this but due to the side effects, I have decided to come off the meds. Now, I am going through the brutal side effects of the withdrawal. I did some research on benafotamine and decided to give it a try. The first two days I took it in the morning but I noticed it made me too relaxed and sleepy. On the third day I took it an hour before bedtime and fell asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow. I was able to sleep the entire night. It's helps me sleep better, it's improved my pain and also improved my mood and anxiety. I used to wake up 3 or 4 times during the night to use the bathroom and that's gone away too. I haven't had to wake up to use the bathroom at night. I've been taking it for a week now and can already feel the difference. I'm so glad I bought this.

I've used benfoldamine for more than a year now and when I get poor and I can't afford to buy it I so so feel it. However sometimes I'll compromise with a different brand and I can tell it's not doing the same thing. So I don't buy other brands have benfotomine. This is one of the few things I don't compromise on. So if brain clarity and concentration are important to you and you're getting older and it's kind of fudging away or you're fighting diabetes and it's going away. Don't give up to you've tried this brand ..just saying
