New Roots: Benfotiamine. Biologically active thiamin (vitamin B1) in the form of benfotiamine is a critical nutrient for healthy nerve for individuals with polyneuropathy. Benfotiamine is the natural form of vitamin B1 recognized as having up to five-fold superior penetration to regular vitamin B1. The therapeutic benefit of benfotiamine lies in its capacity to block a harmful process called protein glycation, which is caused by prolonged exposure to high blood sugar. The byproducts of this destructive process, advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), can lead to diabetes-related nerve damage known as polyneuropathy. In addition to supporting nerve function for individuals with polyneuropathy, benfotiamine helps in energy genesis and nutrient metabolism. New Roots Herbal’s Benfotiamine delivers an evidence-based dosage of 150 mg per plant-sourced capsule.
