Benfotiamine raises the blood level of thiamin pyrophosphate, the coenzyme of thiamin, and stimulates transketolase, an enzyme essential for maintenance of normal glucose metabolic pathways. Benfotiamine was shown to cause a greater thiamin concentration in red blood cells. Benfotiamine readily passes through intestinal cells and is converted into thiamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is a key factor in the cellular process that metabolizes glucose for energy production. Aging is accompanied by a decreased ability of the liver to recycle ascorbic acid following oxidative stress. R-lipoic acid, after two weeks of supplementation to aged rats, reversed the age-related impairment of ascorbic acid recycling and concentration in liver cells.

• Benfotiamine + Alpha-Lipoic Acid helps to maintain healthy glucose metabolism and provides antioxidant support.
• Benfotiamine helps protect oxidative stress induced by advanced glycation end-products.
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid supports the body’s defense against free radicals and recycles antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
