Natural Factors BioCoenzymated Benfotiamine 150 mg is a vitamin B1 supplement made with benfotiamine and sulbutiamine in a vegetarian capsule. Provides benfotiamine, a superior source of thiamine compared to thiamine hydrochloride as it provides a higher bioavailability of thiamine.
What is benfotiamine?
Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin found in whole grains, legumes and pork. Benfotiamine and sulbutiamine are fat-soluble relatives of thiamine that the body turns into vitamin B1 once they are taken up. Most B1 tablets use thiamine hydrochloride instead, and this capsule takes a different route.

Why a fat-soluble B1?
Standard thiamine dissolves in water, while benfotiamine dissolves in fat. That difference in chemistry is the reason it is chosen for this formula.
