Frequently Asked Questions
I've tried different vitamin B's before. Why would this be different?
Yes. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of B1 that crosses directly into nerve tissue — something regular B vitamins cannot do. Most customers notice the burning and tingling beginning to calm within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use.
What if I am already taking Gabapentin or Metformin?
Most B vitamins use regular Thiamine — a water soluble form that your body struggles to absorb and that barely crosses into nerve tissue. Benfotiamine is fat-soluble, which means it penetrates nerve tissue directly at levels up to 5x higher than standard B1. That is why people who have tried regular B vitamins for years notice a difference with this within weeks.
My doctor says my B1 levels are "normal." Do I still need this?
Yes. Standard blood tests measure B1 floating in your blood — not what is actually reaching your nerve tissue. Many people with "normal" lab results still experience severe neuropathy symptoms because their nerves are not getting adequate B1 at the cellular level. If your symptoms persist despite normal labs, this is likely why.
I have digestive issues. Will I still absorb this?
Yes. Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and absorbed through your digestive tract differently than water-soluble vitamins. Taking it with food — particularly anything containing fat — significantly improves absorption. The coconut oil already inside each softgel helps your body absorb it effectively.
How is this different from drugstore B vitamins?
Drugstore B vitamins use regular Thiamine which is water-soluble and cannot efficiently cross into nerve tissue. Benfotiamine is the fat-soluble form — clinically studied specifically for nerve health and shown to reach nerve tissue at levels standard Thiamine never can. It is also 600mg per serving — a therapeutic dose, not the trace amounts found in most multivitamins.
