Benfotiamine, a Vitamin B-1 � or thiamine � derivative prevents crosslinking and inhibits AGE formation. Supplementation is crucial because the body cannot make Benfotiamine on its own, and ordinary B-1 is absorbed so poorly that typical B-vitamin supplements often contain more B-1 than the body can use. Benfotiamine, however, is taken up by the body at rates that can exceed one hundred times those for B-1, and is a potent weapon against crosslinking and AGEs.
Not only does Benfotiamine reduce the levels of AGEs, it seems to actually undo damage. In clinical studies on diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Benfotiamine improved nerve function by 60% while reducing pain up to 88%. Not only did it improve kidney and retinal function in diabetics, it did so in healthy subjects. (Note that while Benfotiamine protects against AGE damage, it does not lower blood-sugar levels.) Benfotiamine is widely regarded as safer than the already-safe Vitamin B-1 it is derived from.
Toast, roasts, and caramelized onions can be delicious, but you certainly don�t want the same processes occurring in your body. Whether you have or are at risk for diabetes, or just want to stop the consequences of aging, Benfotiamine is perfect for you.
