Product overview

These active compounds share common goals in important areas of health. Together, they support healthy aging, the maintenance of healthy glucose metabolism, and a healthy nervous system.

Why Benfotiamine?

Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1). It readily passes through intestinal cells, is converted into thiamine and has been found to be more bioavailable and physiologically more active than thiamine itself. Benfotiamine helps support healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose as well as supporting against oxidative stress, and healthy aging.

• Supports transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for maintenance of normal glucose metabolic pathways.
• Activated in the bloodstream.
• Research shows that Benfotiamine is available in the body up to four times longer than water soluble thiamin.

Why Alpha-lipoic acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), known as the “universal antioxidant”, is a sulphur-containing fatty acid that is soluble in both water and fat. ALA is also a key factor in the cellular process that metabolizes glucose for energy production.

• Supports heart, eye and brain health
• Supports the body’s defence against free radicals and recycles antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins C and E
• Plays a role in the recycling of glutathione
