User Reviews for benfotiamine

I started taking R-ALA and Benfotiamine in late Jan. 2024 for Peripheral Neuropathy. In two days I was so much better! If I eat anything with sugar the pain in my legs and feet gets worse again. I have never had diabetes, but I was pre-diabetes a few years ago. This supplement is worth a try along with eliminating sugar.

I had a 90% improvement in Peripheral neuropathy after two weeks of taking 400 mg of Benfotiamine with Thiamine (Vitamin B1).

As a Type 1 diabetic using 60 units of Insulin Aspart per day with an insulin pump, I found that my insulin usage DROPPED by 75% after 5 days of using Benfotiamine at 300 to 1,800 mg per day. My Thiamine was nearly gone and it could be what caused my T1D to start in 1990. I have fought and suffered nearly 34 years with T1D, and I am so glad I found Benfotiamine. This stuff is great! A few more weeks of this stuff at a high dosage should set things straight/ I don't fear the unknown; I welcome it.Read More Read Less

Ideopathic peripheral polyneuropathy: After 2 days, all burning in my feet disappeared. In the course of these three weeks, "woolly socks" feeling has greatly decreased, I can now wear "normal" shoes for more than 3 hours at a time and can walk for over 2 hours. I take Benfotiamine in combination with R-Lipoic acid, NAC, ALC, Magnesium, Omega 3, Biotin, Folate, mini dosage of B6 and B12. I've had neuropathy since 1999 and have been taking R-Lipoic acid, NAC, ALC, Magnesium, Omega 3 since 2014. Biggest "improvement" has come after adding Benfotiamine. I was unable to stand the side effects of Gabapentine/SNRI.Read More Read Less

It greatly reduced my depressive state and lack of energy after only 2 days of use. No side effects. 300 mg / day

Used for over 6 months with no measurable benefit to peripheral neuropathy in hands and feet

Benfotiamine has reduced my cronic headaches caused by bad glucose metabolism. Strong improvements was recognised after only 3 days. I am still hopeful, that my Neuropathy will ease as well.

its been 30 days saw result after 7days will continue started with 600 mg then down to 300 daiy

As with such things, the question of benefit is subtle. Would I be worse now had I not started this supplement? Am I better for it? I sense that I am better and would have been worse but I can't know for sure. Nothing dramatic but my neurologist says I have become stable and has taken me off regular visits for now.

quite good
