What is Benfotiamine?
Benfotiamine is the synthetic version of thiamine, also known as vitamin B1. And you need your vitamin B1, because its essential for many of the body’s functions. Among the 13 known vitamins, Vitamin B1, happens to be one of the most important ones for diabetics.
Thiamine vs Benfotiamine
Thiamine doesn't raise your b1 levels nearly as much as benfotiamine does. The lab version. That's because benfotiamine is far more bioavailable.
What is the Function of Thiamine? Why is Vitamin B1 Important?
Well, thiamine is essential to help the body produce proteins and fats while helping to metabolize carbohydrates. But interestingly, Thiamine does one of the biggest jobs in the body, it develops the mitochondrial membrane it also is supports the function of the synaptic membrane so that our neurons can communicate with one another.
Is Benfotiamine Better Than Thiamine? What is the Best Vitamin B1?
But the problem is that thiamine is just water soluble, it cant get into the tissues like benfotiamine can. Benfotiamine was created in the 1950s in japan to solve this issue.
Benfotiamine for Non-Diabetic Neuropathy. Using Benfotiamine for Nerve.
Neuropathy from diabetes complications. But also form neuropathy without diabetes can cause a burning, pricking sensation, feeling achy or dull. Even a pins and needle sensation is common too.
AGE's and Neuropathy. How does Benfotiamine Work?
It is reported to reduce the effects of advanced glycated end products, which forms as a result of having too much sugar in your cells. Not to forget to mention a host of other conditions advanced glycated end products or AGE’s can have once your proteins and lipids get glycated.
Benfotiamine for Brain Function.
It is reported to help improve cognition in alzheimer's disease. This is because there are Several neurodegenerative issues which have been associated with diminished activity of thiamine-dependent enzymes.
How Much Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine Dosage
300 mg twice a day is the most common one. But anywhere from 150-600 mg by mouth daily for up to 6 months is what is used as well.
How Common is B1 Deficiency? What Foods Have Thiamine?
Its not that common actually because you can find vitamin b1 in a lot of foods. Raisins, avocados, and jackfruit seem to have a lot. But then again, you have to be aware of what can interfere with it in the body. Now most people would not have this in their diets but from two small studies in Thailand, chewing slices of areca nut wrapped in betel leaves and chewing tea leaves in general reduced food thiamine bioavailability because of the high amounts of tannins and also the The pupae of the African silk worm, which is a traditional food in Nigeria can cause a thiamine deficiency too. Then there are some reports of eating fermented raw fish could lower your thiamine too.
What Causes Low Vitamin B1?
Other factors like being on long term diuretics, bariatric surgery, and alcoholism can all remove thiamine from your body. But always consult with your doctor if you fall into this group before making a decision on thiamine. Its important they know your entire list of supplements your taking so they can help you optimize them to the fullest.

#benfotiamine
Benfotiamine has changed my LIFE! I've taken 300mg twice a day for just over a month. I Started with 85% nerve damage in my lower legs and feet. I could barely walk. NOW... I haven't been tested but I can feel "touch" on my entire legs and feet. OMG this is amazing!!!
So happy to hear!
What the brand from your benfotiamin ?
He forgot stress….can really deplete B1..
I'm sold. I just took my first dose today. 😀 my Mother-in-law has done alot of research on this.
Awesome share Dr. Arsala !! Thank you!!
Thank you! For your knowledge and time! Brother! 👍👌🙏💯❤️😎👊🇨🇦✌️ amazing Video 👏
Great video, lots of insight on thiamine.
Dear Dr.
Thanks for this great video.
My back ground is original Wuhan virus July 2020 followed by omicron December 2021.
Severe cognitive impairment post covid ( named to belittle the situation as brain fog)
I was suggested to take a high dose of Benfotimne upto 1000mg per day.
After three years of severe cognitive issues plus pots syndrome .
Peripheral neuropathy from vaccine injury.
Five days after taking 900mg of Benfotimne I actually started sleeping through the night.
No more waking 3-5 times a night due to fluid build up from Pots Syndrome.
This was a complete game changer..
Its also helped drastically with cognective function, six other long covid/ spike protien injured people have also all had the same relief from the high dose of Benfotimne🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this information, especially on the recently study from 2023 👍🏼
Blessings from Te Waiponamu ( South Island) of New Zealand
Thank you so much for sharing this. Wishing you utmost wellness from here on out. A beautiful place you reside indeed. 😃
@@ArsalanAspires Many thanks 👍🏼
All I can say is Benfotiemne has helped drastically.
I'm also taking Augmented NAC now and Nattokinase as it's believed I'm probably still producing spike protien after two years. But NZ health ministry is extremely controlling on any tests which will prove Vaccine Injury.
Ie IgG4 antibody test
New Zealand had a worlf first break through in 2022 a covid antibody test which shows your covid antibodies levels and if it's from natural or vaccine.
This test is now unavailable in NZ because of the major NZ testing labs purchasing the Rako science who developed the tests.
Noting Awanui labs purchased Rako science and Awanui labs is still doing studies for phfizer and is a major shareholder in Awanui labs the NZ main testing labs is owned by none other than the Ontario teachers pension plan.. pretty odd right.
Justin Trudeau interfering in the medical system of New Zealand 🤦🏼
Not a conspiracy, just some facts people need to be very aware of.
Thanks again for the video, I've shared it in a long covid group to hopefully help some others 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good video great information thanks 👍👍👍💜

Jahovah gives u another blessing Lutein
Which Bentfotamine do you recommend
Does this help with nerve pain from shingles?
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with everyone I've have been taking benfortiamine for over a month now & hearing about how this helps with vitamin B1 is awsome but my thinking process is a little slow & messed up when trying to organize things in the garden or meal preparation so I'm wondering what is going on with me ,please help ,please
Thank you sir
Important question: is Benfotiamine supplementation still beneficial in the presence of non-diabetic neuropathy, even where there is no B1 deficiency (confirmed via lab test)?
Can I get your take on any interactions it may have with GABA supplementation, please and thank you.
I found a tiny caution with benfotiamine: for me it made me really sleepy. So, suggest it be a bedtime dose.
Thank you for sharing!
Yes this happens because ur deficient in thiamine after couple of weeks ur body will adjust. Personally it increased my energy levels
@@awake9431thank you for this explanation! It used to make me so sleepy and now it gives me insomnia.
I'm not a Dr or anything but look into COQ10 supplementation for energy especially if you're on a statin.
Dr, macadamia nuts is high in B1. But macadamia is largely fats and no water. B1 is water soluble. So do macadamia still hold B1 benefits for me? Thank you.
Thank you for this great vid. My question is could my b1 deficiency symptoms be caused by the fact that I drink A LOT of green tea every day . . ... re: the tannic acid in tea ? I have also drunk black tea a lot , every day , for decades . I also started chewing cloves , daily --- the last few months . I feel sure I am vit b1 deficient . . .... as I have every symptom connected to it . Would you advise I stop drinking green and black tea ???
Was hoping you got an answer.
I’m pretty sure I have drug induced thiamine deficiency (antacids everyday) along with stress, bad diet, lifestyle, binging alcohol once per week. Then I took Bactrim antibiotic and it really exposed my underlying thiamine deficiency and I haven’t been able to recover since then. I just recently started taking high dose thiamine.
My symptoms include: chronic dehydration no matter how much water/electrolytes I drink/eat and I believe this is due to impaired intracellular hydration and mitochondrial energy dysfunction. I also have the tingling and prickling in my face and head that started after the antibiotics.
Thiamine deficiency is actually VERY common. You said it was not common. If you think about western diets along with sprayed foods with pesticides, overuse of antibiotics, antacids, SSRIs and sooooo many other medications that doctors prescribe to patients to mask the symptoms. There are so many reasons why so many people are low in thiamine. The RDA hasn’t been updated in 80 years.
The risk factors that make us prone to a deficiency is definitely common and yes environmental factors count too. Thank you for your feedback.
@@ArsalanAspires yes considering how many people are on pharmaceutical and/or OTC meds, I wish I’d known this sooner. Now I’m suffering everyday with headaches that don’t seem to go away. I feel dehydrated every single day.
Re feeling dehydrated try adding some some himalayan salt and or or plain electrolytes into water. This will retain water and rehydrate you.
Re: headaches or migraines upto 400 to 800 mg vit b2 or riboflavin to stop it as you feel it coming on. Dr Berg has a video. Studies done at Griffith University Qld several years ago. They recommended 400 mg vit B2.
Take bentothiamine. As per above.
And or for headache or migraine take magnesium. Take it as magnesium glycinate every day you may need more then the recommended dose for a men or a women.
Take vit b12 supplement sublingually in the form of methyl cobalamin or injection form.
Sometimes all are required. Caffeine from coffee can also help some people.
Get your vision checked as that can give headaches.
However the first thing to do is get a ct scan or mri to check for brain tumors.
What would be better to take Thiamine or Benfothamine or a combination of both.
Benfotiamine is way better absorbed
theres always a sales pitch lurking behind :D
Doctor, I have a question. If the Thiamine does resolve issues, does that mean I will have to take it for the rest of my life? I assume I was deficient of B1 due to 10 years of alcohol abuse. My issue was I was a WEEKEND ONLY binge drinker. For the most part, i wouldn’t really have much food the entire weekend either, if I did it was junk food. I am almost 13 months alcohol free and that will remain for a lifetime. I have 0 interest in drinking anymore. But I am trying to get my body better. When I quit drinking, I didnt have ANY withdrawal symptoms due to not being dependent on it. I drank on the weekends simply for boredom, which was dumb. My symptoms included EXTREME fatigue, depression, anxiety, STRESS, occasional chest pain, tingling sensation in my face, concentration issues, extreme constipation (some bleeding due to constipation) and a few others but those are the main ones. I think the years of alcohol abuse stripped my body of vital nutrients and minerals so my body is screwed up. The vitamins I just ordered are D3+k2, B1 + benfotiamime, magnesium, b complex, multivitamin and collagen powered (with all types). I am still waiting on my D3 to be delivered, although that’s actually a hormone. So my question is will I have to take b1 for the rest of my life? I also fast 7 days a week. 22/2. I fast for a few reasons. 1 for health but mainly when I eat during the day, i feel EXTREMELY even MORE fatigued and sluggish. I did have ADHD as a child (not currently medicated) so that could be where the concentration issues are coming from. I only ask bc I am really bad about forgetting to take my vitamins everyday. I need to also get my vitamin levels tested as well as my hormones. My last doctor i seen wouldnt order the test for me. She only did a CBC, Metabolic panel, B12 and thyroid check. She said everything came back normal and all my organs are functioning normal, which is awesome considering my years of binge drinking. I am HOPING the B1 and D3+k2 in addition to the rest of my vitamins resolve my issue. I never knew d3 and b1 could cause constipation and fatigue and all that. I have been taking mirilax for the past 2 years just to use the bathroom but as of 3-4 weeks ago, it seems it’s not working as good. Any thoughts?
I’ve been taking this for over a year. I recently was diagnosed with CMT, having known for 20 years that I have neuropathy I have, at this point have found no improvement in my situation. I haven’t given up hope at this point but I’d be lying if I wasn’t a bit disappointed.
Have you looked into lion's mane?
@@lilascharmante2712 Hi. I have not. The lady where I go to for my vitamins and supplements told me she wasn’t sold on this yet but she recommended I look into cats claw. I did and I bought some but I haven’t felt any improvement at this point but it’s still early.
Do certain medications affect B1 levels? I started taking Nifedipine; as a result I experienced constipation. At the same time, I changed to a WFPB diet-meaning more carbohydrates. Since B1 is a cofactor for carbohydrate metabolism, I’m thinking taking Benfotiamine might help. I have other symptoms of B1 deficiency: muscle weakness, balance issues, neuropathy in the feet. I think the Nifedipine exacerbated a problem I may have already had.
Thank you for this. I did not know B1 def could cause balance issues. I have plus neuropathy and weak legs/arm and cognition issues. I will start the Benfo soon. Hoping it helps!
Can it help for diabetic neuropathy for the feet
I heard it does!
Plz plz tell me, can i apply vaseline on top of retinol?
Yes you can.
Thanks, Can Benfortiamine make my BP go up??? I was using nutritional yeast for my B1 and my BP went up and the heart Dr. said it may have but he said he didn't know for sure, that he was not much into nutrition... Thanks again...
It may in some individuals but is not common. The findings can be found here.

You could try increasing pottassium and magnesium rich nutrients. Pottassium deficiency has a big effect on blood pressure.
👍
Can any one tell what's the right time to take the benfotiamine?
Divided doses. I take 300mgs in the morning when I have breakfast, and another 300mg, around 11.30am.
I don't take it in the afternoon as it keeps me awake.
I don't know how you can make a video on b1 and not mention it's amazing healing properties on the gut
Lutien
Love Thiamine and Allithiamine !
Hate Benfotiamine !
Can you explain why? Trying to figure out the differences before taking. TIA
@kristy22 Benfotiamine is a fat soluble version of B1 that requires bile output, lipases & a different transport system to assimilate at a cellular level.
Those who have fatty liver, impaired liver func, NALFD, removed gall bladder, poor bile output, obstruction of billary ducts, SIBO-C, pancreatitis, poor enzymatic output esp lipases ....do NOT assimilate benfotiamine well....but do remarkably well with the water soluble versions such ad thiamine hcl or even allithiamine.
I take thiamine hcl and use manganese to boost thiamine uptake and magnesium to support thiamine dependent enzymes.
