One of the most deleterious effects of "normal" aging is impaired glucose metabolism. Failure to control excess sugar can trigger a cascade of ill health effects throughout the body. For example, patients with high blood sugar can suffer after-meal endothelial dysfunction, induced by a flood of glucose, fats, and abnormal proteins called advanced glycation end products entering the bloodstream. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), supports healthy blood sugar metabolism and acts through several mechanisms to block the biochemical pathways by which high blood sugar wreaks havoc throughout the body.1

In a study published in the journal Diabetes Care, scientists demonstrated for the first time that benfotiamine (1050 mg per day) effectively reduced postprandial endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress normally seen in patients with high blood sugar who were fed a heat-processed meal with a high content of advanced glycation end products.2

Mega Benfotiamine can help maintain already-normal blood sugar levels and support the health of the nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels, and heart.
