Also known as thioctic acid or simply lipoic acid (LA), this compound functions as a coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, and was originally thought to belong to the B vitamin family. LA is required for synthesis of acetyl CoA, a pivotal metabolite in the cellular process of transforming glucose (blood sugar) into energy. Since amounts of alpha-lipoic acid in supplements are up to 1000 times greater than the amounts of LA that could be obtained by diet, supplemental LA can introduce physiologic actions that food alone would not bestow. An intensively researched compound, alpha-lipoic acid taken orally is thought to go beyond its role as a metabolic cofactor and instead elicit a unique set of biochemical activities that can safely enhance many areas of health. Benfotiamine is a synthetic derivative of thiamin that has been shown in many studies to be far more bioavailable than actual thiamin. Benfotiamine taken orally is readily absorbed at higher doses, which is in sharp contrast to regular water-soluble forms of thiamin that exhibit a rapid decline in absorption when taken in doses above 5 mg. Human and rodent studies indicate that benfotiamine can greatly improve thiamin status, especially in comparison with regular forms of thiamin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"feature-bullets\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-medium a-spacing-top-small\"\u003e\n \u003ch2 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-text-bold\"\u003eAbout this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cdiv data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"300\" class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-expander-partial-collapse-container\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv data-expanded=\"false\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\n   \u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\n    \u003cli class=\"a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e BENFOTIAMINE 150 MG: Our comprehensive formula for men and women features Benfotiamine 150mg, a unique, fat-soluble variant of Vitamin B1 known for its seamless passage across cell membranes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli class=\"a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 300 MG: Benfotiamine is paired with Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA).
