A New Study Reveals …
Benfotiamine Fights Vascular and Nerve AGEing!
Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of the vitamin thiamine, is the only currently-available, pharmaceutical-grade supplement proven to reduce the formation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE) in the body. While many supplements –- such as thyme extract, inositol, acetyl-L-carnitine, and a whole host of antioxidants -- are touted AGE-fighters, these nutrients have only been shown to inhibit AGE chemistry in beakers at food chemistry labs. None of them has yet been shown to fight AGE in a living organism. And there’s plenty of reason to believe that they will not do so, because the chemistry of the stove top – or the lab bench – is so totally unlike what happens in living systems.
Others have been shown to reduce AGE in animal models, but only at doses many times greater than is used by even the most dedicated pill-popper.
Benfotiamine is the exception to the string of bogus claims. Benfotiamine has been proven in clinical trials to restore nerve function in diabetic neuropathy, the AGE-related nerve damage which is all too common in people with diabetes. And experimental studies have shown Benfotiamine’s powerful anti-AGE effects in the prevention and amelioration of AGE-related diabetic complications in experimental models of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy (kidney dysfunction).
Now, at the American Diabetes Association’s 64th Annual Scientific Sessions, the news on Benfotiamine just got better. A new study has not only confirmed that Benfotiamine helps to restore the function of nerves ravaged by experimental diabetes, but has shown for the first time that Benfotiamine improves the function of AGE-afflicted blood vessels, too!
