| 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.* |
