Benfotiamine is a lipid-soluble derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1) used as a nutritional supplement and in pharmaceutical formulations to treat diabetic neuropathy and other thiamine deficiency-related conditions. Due to its enhanced bioavailability compared to thiamine, Benfotiamine efficiently penetrates nerve and tissue cells, helping to reduce oxidative stress and prevent complications from hyperglycemia in diabetes.
