Fat soluble form of thiamine with superior bioavailability
We rank Benfotiamine by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Benfotiamine is a fat soluble version of thiamine, which is more commonly known as vitamin B1. Because it is fat soluble, it can be absorbed by the body more effectively than the standard water soluble version of the vitamin, a quality known as superior bioavailability.
It is used to provide the body with thiamine in a form that is easier to take up into the cells. This makes it a more efficient way to maintain the levels of vitamin B1 needed for healthy bodily functions.
To create this supplement, manufacturers chemically modify standard thiamine to make it dissolve in fats rather than water. This processed powder is then measured and packed into capsules or pressed into tablets for sale.
This ingredient is generally positioned in a mid range price tier. This is because the chemical modification process required to make it fat soluble is more complex than producing basic thiamine, though it remains a widely available industrial compound.
