My initial symptoms improvement (before switching to thiamin HCL) is credited to 500mg/day of benfotiamine. I must now reconsider choices. HCL is reported to be effective in one to two months from starting. I will continue with thiamin HCL for the remaining 5 weeks and after two months total if I do not see greater improvement w/ HCL, I will return to Benfotiamine.
I would also like to know the answer to whether benfotiamine crosses bb. It has been suggested that Dr c thinks it does not. Studies seem to say fat soluble b1 is better absorbed than water based. But fat soluble (benfotiamine) is
RoyProp, As a result of your encouraging reviews, in addition to studying Dr. Constantini's reports, I have today started taking 4,000 mg of Solgar's Thiamine HCL 500 mg. I would appreciate clarification as to the following:
1. Do you take the Thiamine on an empty stomach or "preferably with a meal" per Solgar's directions?
2. Do you supplement with a complete B-complex vitamin, and if so, do you take it at the same time as the Thiamine?
I am grateful that you would take time to respond. I am not on any PD meds--though, from a clinical perspective, I most certainly should be. I prefer to explore all credible natural therapeutic interventions.
My issue. They catch half way down, nearly choking to death.

hi Roy i see in a previous post that you considered switching from Bentotiamine to HCL. did you switch and if so to what effect.?i can't seem to get HCL here i Canada (out of stock everywhere) but Bento is available.
Hi there Roy, Just wondering, did you ever return to Benfotiamine? May I ask why or why not? Dr. C believed it does not cross the BBB but I have read that it does. ? Thank you.
