Ingredients explained
Benfotiamine
Benfotiamine converts to active thiamine coenzymes that support carbohydrate metabolism and activate transketolase, which may help reduce formation of reactive byproducts from glucose processing.
Caution: May interact with alcohol use or very high-dose B-vitamin regimens; monitor overall B-vitamin intake to avoid unnecessary excess.
Calcium (as dibasic calcium phosphate)
Calcium serves as a mineral cofactor in cellular signaling and muscle and nerve function.
Caution: Contains a small amount of calcium; those tracking total calcium intake should account for it, especially if using multiple calcium-containing products.
How they work together
Benfotiamine supports thiamine-dependent carbohydrate metabolism, while the small amount of calcium contributes to general cellular signaling and nerve function. Together they cover vitamin B-1 activity with a minor mineral cofactor presence.

Overview
- Fat Soluble Sources of Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine)
- Dietary Supplement
Benfotiamine is a more bioavailable derivative of thiamine (vitamin B-1). Unlike normal thiamine, benfotiamine is converted to a fat-soluble form that is more physiologically active. It supports healthy carbohydrate & glycemic levels by regulating transketolase, the enzyme essential for maintaining normal metabolic pathways. This helps promote the healthy functioning of the nerves, kidneys, and retinas.
