NSI Benfotiamine -- 150 mg - 240 Capsules

NSI Benfotiamine -- 150 mg - 240 Capsules

Helps boost energy levels. Promotes healthy nerve and muscle function. How does NSI Benfotiamine work? Benfotiamine is a fat soluble form of vitamin B1, a B-complex vitamin that plays an important role in the breakdown of foods, particularly carbohydrates, proteins and fats. In fact, vitamin B1 is vital in converting carbohydrates into energy. . Vitamin B1 is considered an anti-stress vitamin because it supports healthy nerve and muscle function, and also fortifies the body's ability to handle stressful conditions.  . Vitamin B1 may help inhibit the formation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs). AGEs are sugar-derived substances that increase in the body as we age and glucose levels rise. AGEs may promote cell damage, including cells that make up the cardiovascular, visual and nervous systems.  . NSI Benfotiamine is better because it:. Delivers 150 mg of benfotiamine in each convenient single-capsule serving . Comes in a fat soluble form that is readily absorbed and utilized by the body. Provides exceptional quality at extraordinary value. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"I have been an insulin dependent diabetic for 32 years. Recently, my endocrinologist told me about the benefits of benfotiamine, particularly the studies at Einstein Medical School showing how benfotiamine disrupts the creation of proteins with an unnatural glucose addition in the presence of high blood sugars. These malformed proteins are believed to be the toxins responsible for neuropathy.
I went to local vitamin and health food stores and was unable to find any supplies of benfotiamine, although I did collect curious stares from the sales people. I looked on the Internet, and found thatVitacost had by far the best price for the 150 mg tablets that I seek. I take 300 mg (2 tablets) in the morning and 300 mg (2 tablets) at bedtime.
Vitacost and NSI Benfotiamine are a winning combination of availability, far surpassing anything else available on the Internet. I take benfotiamine to avoid problems down the road, but I have noticed subtle improvements in my health since starting."

"I have been using B-1 in various forms for quite some time. By accident I hit on the Benfotiame.As a diabetic with neuropathy, I decided what could I lose and so I tried it. It was not inexpensive on this site, so I was always looking to buy cheaper. Then I saw that it was being sold on Vitacost. Thank God when they say that they test THEY mean it! This version that I buy from Vitacost works and works consistently, unlike the version I bought elsewhere. I am even getting some feeling back where it had been gone for years. Thanks Vitacost."
