## Overview

Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine delivers a high-potency 250 mg dose of fat-soluble vitamin B1, designed for superior cellular absorption and metabolic support. This gluten-free, non-GMO, vegetarian formula protects against oxidative stress and age-related tissue damage, making it a scientifically-backed choice for proactive health management.

## Description

This formula contains both fat-soluble and water-soluble forms of B1 for better support of healthy metabolism as well as other B1 benefits, such as helping to keep your brain in top form and supporting nerve health. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), helps protect the body’s tissues against advanced glycation end (AGE) products and oxidative stress. Why do we include it? Benfotiamine is more bioavailable than water-soluble thiamine and can easily penetrate the inside of cells.

Review: Excellent Bioavailable B1—A Must-Have in Our Daily Health Routine - We’ve been using Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine for many months now, and it’s one of those supplements that’s become a non-negotiable in our household. If you eat any kind of carbs—yes, even the healthy ones—your body uses up Vitamin B1 (thiamine). So we supplement daily to stay ahead of that drain. We specifically chose this brand because the powdered form of B1 doesn't work well for my husband—his system just doesn’t tolerate it. This fat-soluble, highly absorbable capsule has been a much better fit. We also love that it's non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian, and always in stock through our subscription. My husband has some health issues and often experiences burning in his toes and tingling in his hands and feet. On tougher days, he needs up to six capsules spaced throughout the day to keep those symptoms at bay while his body continues healing. It’s a high-dose supplement, so it allows for that flexibility. As for me, I tend to get a deep ache in my ankles when the weather turns cool or the AC is running, and this helps ease that discomfort. I usually take one capsule twice a day, and it keeps things in check. Also worth noting: after many months of use, we’ve never once opened a bottle and found an empty or defective capsule—that kind of consistency matters when you’re relying on a supplement daily and prices grow like well-watered weeds. ⭐ Pros: High potency and highly absorbable fat-soluble B1 Great for nerve support and general metabolic health Gluten-free, non-GMO, vegetarian No empty capsules—always consistent Works better than powdered forms for sensitive systems Reliable stock through desertcart subscription ❌ Minor Con: None for us—just keep in mind it’s a high dose, so adjust as needed under guidance Final thoughts: If you’re looking for a clean, effective form of thiamine that actually does something, this is it. It’s helped both of us in different ways, and it’s one of the few supplements we’re committed to long-term.

## Features

- Support metabolic health – Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) that supports healthy metabolism. It also helps protect your body’s tissues against oxidative stress and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are compounds that accumulate with age.
- Superior bioavailability – Unlike the water-soluble form, the fat-soluble thiamine (benfotiamine) in our formula easily penetrates cells. It’s been shown to support thiamine levels faster and longer than water-soluble thiamine.
- Healthy endothelial function – Benfotiamine helps promote a healthy inflammatory response. Taking benfotiamine with thiamine supports healthy endothelial function.
- Ingredients matter – We use only the finest raw ingredients with the quality and purity you deserve. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every one.
- Live your healthiest life – We believe the answers to a healthier life are within reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting us there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.
