Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine, 250 mg, a Fat-Soluble Form of thiamine, Healthy Metabolism, Ultra-bioavailable Vitamin B1, high Potency, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, 120 Capsules

This is a great product. Works so much better than the regular B1.My legs don't hurt anymore. No mire muscle cramps or restless legs. And it helps with sleep. No more melatonin!It shipped timely and was packed really well too.

I'll leave my original review from a year ago below but I"m changing my rating from 3 to 5 stars for two big reasons.1. My feet are in agony right now. This had been happening to me before I started taking benfotiamine and this was the first brand of it that I tried. It worked beautifully. A some point I ordered a different unknown brand and the pain returned so I went back on this one. Then months passed and again I ordered a cheaper but this time very well known brand in orange and white bottle and immediately the pain returned. I kept telling myself there is no way that it could be from switching brands. But it has become very obvious to me that this is what's happening again. I have no idea why Life Extension's benfotiamine is working but 2 other brands that I've tried didn't. It makes no sense but it is definitely the reality of the situation for me. It seems like this one blunts the effect of blood sugar on nerves and the others didn't.2. As you can read in my old review at the end of this one, I was nervous about thiamine increasing cancer risk. After researching that I found out that it is true, if you take a regular dose thiamine supplement. But if you megadose thiamine, such as the amount in one of these pills, the pro cancer effect is actually reversed and thiamine becomes anti cancer.I'm about to re order these and return the other brand I've been taking so I can go back to getting some relief, and get my confidence back that my nerves are being protected.Original review:I have to give 3 stars because I'm very unsure if this product after reading about thiamine's potential to make cancer grow fast. Evidently there are chemo agents designed to block thiamine for that reason. I've been taking this for months, just went through 2 bottles thinking I'm doing the best thing I can do to protect my nerves from the effects of high blood sugar. And although the studies show this works great for that maybe better than anything else and it's been used in Europe as a drug, learning about the cancer aspect scares me.Google "benfotiamine cancer" and "thiamine cancer" if you want to read some of the articles I just read about that.Update 10/7/2019I'm still using this, I've repurchased 9 times. I wish it were cheaper but I can;t do without it. I'ts preventing a lot of bizarre symptoms which I could write a book on, but they come back whenever I start skipping doses.

Works great

Good quality.

love this product helps with the numbness and tingling in hands

Bought for my BS !Highly recommend!

Easy swallowing nice taste right size,great ingredients, boosted energy, and would but again from this seller...

I took 1 in the morning and 1 with dinner. I feel they helped kick start my metabolism, as I had gained weight that was not budging. The other thing I started with it was liposome Saffron extract first thing in the morning.
