Benfotiamine - A New Tool In Preventing Diabetic
Complications?
Benfotiamine made headlines globally in 2003 when researchers
released information about a study that was conducted at The
Einstein College of Medicine in New York. The bottom line of this
study was that a substance of the allithiamine group of the
naturally occurring thiamine-derived compounds had positive
effects on neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy and
heart/circulatory problems in diabetics.
Benfotiamine research has suggested that there are beneficial
effects for diabetics and non-diabetics also. These benefits
include sciatica, vascular health, general nerve health, lower
blood pressure, grant cellular protection, anti-aging,
fibromyalgia, prevention of lactic acidosis, and treatment for
Alzheimer's disease. Any condition that is the result of a
thiamine deficiency will also respond quite well to benfotiamine.
Of course, any bodily function that is improved by a therapeutic
level of thiamine will certainly be enhanced by benfotiamine,
since benfotiamine is perhaps the most effective form of
thiamine.
Benfotiamine, a derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1), was an
invention of Japanese scientists and there is a U.S. patent on
benfotiamine that was entered by the Japanese back in 1962.
Japanese benfotiamine is considered the purest source of bulk
benfotiamine and is favored by manufacturers globally who insist
on the highest quality in their benfotiamine product.
The safety of benfotiamine use has been proven over 12 years
of use in Europe for the treatment and prevention of diabetic
complications among others. The original Japanese patent on
benfotiamine gave information that it is even less toxic than
common vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride usually). Orally
ingested vitamin B1 has a long history of use as an oral
supplement without reported adverse effects. Due to its
therapeutic action in some frequently observed clinical
syndromes, thiamine hydrochloride has been advised and used over
a long period of time. There are no reports of adverse effects of
oral thiamine, even at dosages of several hundred milligrams a
day (SCOGS, 1978; DHEW, 1979; Marks, 1989).
Benfotiamine has a very good safety record. To date, there has
been no reports of any known, negative interactions with any
medications. To the contrary, some medications actually can cause
a thiamine deficiency in some people and benfotiamine could
correct this serious situation.
Many researchers, medical experts, doctors, podiatrists and
many medical publishers recommend benfotiamine for neuropathy,
retinopathy nephropathy, heart/circulatory complications and B1
deficiencies. Any in depth study on the web will produce
physicians, naturopaths, neurologists, optometrists,
chiropractors, etc. who have very positive feelings about the
effectiveness and potential of benfotiamine in terms of the
research done to date on this important tool in the arsenal
against neuropathy, retinopathy and beneficial for the heart and
circulatory system. We have professional healthcare providers
from all of these disciplines which shows the confidence the
medical community has in the purity and bioavailability of our
benfotiamine product.
Dr. David Williams, publisher of "Alternatives Newsletter",
wrote an in depth article concerning benfotiamine in his May,
2004 issue. This article is an eye opener in terms of how
effective benfotiamine can be for many health conditions. If
possible, it would be beneficial for any interested reader to
take a look at this article. For more information about this
article you may contact the author below.
Dr Paul Chous is another medical professional who sees the
merits of benfotiamine:
"I suspect strongly that benfotiamine will mitigate (or,
hopefully, prevent) DRT in humans, but the burden of proof has
not yet been met. The case for symptomatic relief of neuropathy
symptoms is, of course, more tangible."

In conclusion, the consensus for benfotiamine is very positive
and are worth investigating. If you or anyone you know is a
diabetic, the great possibility of developing diabetic
complications over time makes benfotiamine a viable tool in the
arsenal for protection. If they are already experiencing
complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and others, they
will benefit from possible reduction in the progression along
with pain relief in terms of peripheral neuropathy and other
neuropathies.
Zach Malott is CEO of Brentwood Health International, a
nutritional supplement company involved in distribution and
supplying wholesale, retail and end users.
Mr. Malott is available to discuss the research as it applies
to benfotiamine in the treatment and prevention of diabetic
complications such as neuropathy and retinopathy.

How Do You Know If You
Have Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder characterized by the
inability of the body to either produce or respond to
insulin making it impossible to maintain proper levels of
glucose (sugar) in the blood. The extra glucose is excreted
in the urine and because of the high level of glucose more
water is flushed through.
