Description
Benfotiamine Product Overview
Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate, C19H23N4O6PS) is a white crystalline powder. Unlike water-soluble Vitamin B1 Thiamine Hydrochloride, it is a lipid-soluble precursor that the body converts back into thiamine, which leads to higher blood thiamine levels.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets and capsules in several European and Asian countries, where it remains authorized as a medicine. Similarly, producers of nutritional products use it in other markets, under the regulations of each market. It often pairs with other B vitamins such as pyridoxine.
Other vitamin B1 forms in our range include Thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B1), and further B vitamins include Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl) and Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3).
