Benfotiamine is an amphiphilic S-acyl thiamine derivative. It is a lipid-soluble vitamin B1, which improved the low bioavailability of water-soluble vitamin B1 and increased the concentration of thiamine in blood and tissues, so the therapeutic effect enhanced.
Benfotiamine and Benfotiamine premix also available.
