Who Benfotiamine Is For

People with diabetes or pre-diabetes looking for nerve support related to high blood sugar
Adults managing nerve discomfort (peripheral neuropathy / polyneuropathy)
Anyone wanting a higher-absorption form of vitamin B1 than regular thiamine
People taking a B-complex who want to add extra B1 for targeted nerve support

Who this product is NOT for: If you don't have diabetes or nerve concerns and you mostly want general B-vitamin support, a basic B-complex is a more cost-effective starting point. Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you take medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a medical condition.

Vitamart's Take

Benfotiamine is the kind of supplement you take for a specific reason — it's not a general daily vitamin. The most common buyer is someone managing diabetes-related nerve discomfort who's heard about benfotiamine from their healthcare practitioner or naturopath. It absorbs much better than standard vitamin B1 because it's fat-soluble (regular B1 is water-soluble and harder to get to the tissues that need it). New Roots offers an evidence-based 150 mg dose in a clean Canadian-made formula. If you're not specifically targeting nerve support, you probably don't need this product.

How Benfotiamine Compares

Benfotiamine vs Regular Thiamine (B1)

Benfotiamine: Fat-soluble, up to 5x better absorbed, reaches tissues that water-soluble B1 doesn't get to easily.
Regular Thiamine: Water-soluble, less expensive, fine for general B1 needs but less effective for targeted nerve support.

Benfotiamine vs B-Complex

Benfotiamine: Just high-absorption B1 — targeted for nerve support.
B-Complex: All 8 B vitamins for general energy and metabolism. A fit if you want everyday B-vitamin support, not nerve-specific.

What Is Benfotiamine?

Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine). Regular thiamine is water-soluble, which limits how well it can reach nerve and tissue cells. Benfotiamine's fat-soluble structure helps it pass into cells where B1 is needed most.

It's most often used to support healthy nerve function, especially for people whose nerves are stressed by long-term high blood sugar (diabetic polyneuropathy). Research interest has also extended to its role in supporting healthy aging at the cellular level.

How To Use

Adults: Take 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, are taking medication, or have diabetes (so your practitioner can monitor your overall care).
