• Maintains healthy advanced glycation end (AGE) product activity and glucose metabolism
• Supports optimal thiamine pyrophosphate activity with the lipid-soluble, enhanced-retention thiamin derivative benfotiamine
• Promotes healthy transketolase activity, an important enzyme in glucose metabolism, to protect vascular tissues through three biochemical pathways
• Promotes vascular, retinal, kidney and neuronal health
• In a randomized crossover trial, benfotiamine supported healthy flow-mediated dilation and endothelial function in response to a heat-treated meal
• In another randomized controlled study, benfotiamine supported healthy nerve conduction velocity and nerve comfort
• Research suggests that benfotiamine may maintain healthy renal glomeruli and retinal function, as well as moderate protein kinase C enzyme activity, AGE production and protein glycation
• Maintains healthy activity of the genomic regulator NF-κB to support cytokine balance
