What is Benfotiamine?

Benfotiamine is a lipid-soluble form of thiamine (vitamin B-1). It is perhaps the most effective of the allithiamine group of naturally occurring, thiamine-derived compounds, found in trace quantities in roasted crushed garlic and other vegetables from the Allium genus (such as onions, shallots, and leeks). The best description of benfotiamine I have found was assembled by AOR, a Canadian nutriceutical company: Abstracts & Summary Description of Benfotiamine. If you are interested in the benfotiamine molecule, you may view it here: Benfotiamine Molecule. You may also view the original U.S. patent for benfotiamine here: Adobe Version of Benfotiamine Patent.
