Experiences with

Benfotiamine

Hello friends - Continuing on my quest to help improve my tinnitus , I came across this article - https://lifewellmd.com/benfotiamine-tinnitus-the-connection/ An interesting read - and introduced me to a supplement I hadn't heard of - Benfotiamine - a B1 vitamin.

A specific concern might get you more of what you're looking for than will a general one; for instance, "balance issues" rather than "symptoms," benfotiamine" instead of "B1," or "wearing off" or "dyskinesia" vs "levodopa problems." Hope this helps.

Bacillus subtilis Benfotiamine Agave inulin Nattokinase Vitamin D3 Berberine Taurine Would anyone recommend splitting them? I remember when I was pregnant, I’d been taking iron supplements for anemia with a glass of milk.

I also reviewed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10219465/ which again was done with diabetics for the efficacy of benfotiamine dosage. I noticed that the trial included twice a day. Good applied science.

What a novel concept. : ( I will be doing a trial of 325 mg twice a day for 6 weeks oral as part of the way a 'normal' body processes Benfotiamine is in the digestive system. If that does not have an effect I will study injections of Benfotiamine and or Thiamine.

In the present study, we report evidences indicating that benfotiamine may have therapeutic potential against AML. Our mechanistic studies suggest that benfotiamine inhibits leukemic cell growth by triggering paraptosis cell death.

My next trial is with Thiamine in the form of Benfotiamine and that is an unknown. My experience with B6 was immediate improvement and emotionally I am hoping for the same with Benfotiamine. Although I met my goal of not crashing this winter I did have a downturn and that is on my mind.

Sure enough I was more tired the next trip and it was reasonable to assume it was the result of stopping the Benfotiamine. I restarted the Benfotiamine and sure enough I experienced more energy throughout the day. I have come to understand it was not more energy rather less brain haze.

That has improved dramatically in the last 14 days I have been taking 50 mg P-5-P and 300 mg Benfotiamine B1 three times a day. When I started this post I was thinking I sometimes use up my B1 between doses.

Certain alt treatment I am taking has temporary neuropathy as a listed side effect treatable with daily dosage of Benfotiamine, R-Lipoic-Acid- and optional use of Acetyl-L-Carnitine all suppliments and to add to this list I will be adding Lions Mane mushroom , having a neuroregenerative effect. also

. : ) I recently was doing a trial of 300 mg of B1 in the form of Benfotiamine and B6 50 mg in the form of P-5-P three times a day. Which was life changing. I was able to tell the difference between doses and concluded it was best to do a trial of 4 times a day.

The following new animal study (December 2023) suggests that the fat soluble form of vitamin B1, Benfotiamine, may also be suitable for PD : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0014299923007483?

B1 300 mg three times a day in the form of Benfotiamine. The addition of B1 12 +- days ago seems to be life changing and I am still in the discovery phase of that change and will move to exploration and then design.

- - 600 mg a day - Life Extension R Lipoic Acid - 3 capsules, around 750 mg a day - Cod Liver Oil (contains DHA) which helps the myelin sheath repair (I stopped being completely vegan for a while).

Well this Amazon seller's product is called: which is a B1 vitamin that can cross the blood brain barrier. Clearly on the Amazon page this is advertised as: MADE IN THE USA.

:) I had tried the combiation of Benfotiamine, B12, methyl folate, NAC, and ALCAR prior to R-ALA but it did not prevent the neuropathic pain with antibiotics or Hiprex.

But reading this post, “Benfotiamine (Fat Soluble Form Of Vitamin B1) and AD” by “chartist” I am thinking that maybe we should try this form. I guess that my first question is ~ should we get some blood work done first & if so what?

Benfotiamine has previously been discussed on this forum regarding PD and this recent study (October 2022) using Benfotiamine (BEN) in AD patients shows some significant benefit for people with AD : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9585656/ Here are two relevant study quotes from this

His basic protocol is close to HDT, but his Mega Protocols differ greatly in the following ways: 1) Return of Symptoms is considered a Paradoxical Reaction, and requires cofactors to increase the dosage. 2) It is OK to take more than one form of Thiamine (HCL oral, TTFD, Benfotiamine, etc,) at the same
