Ultra Befotiamine

Ultra Benfotiamine
Healthy Peripheral Circulation and AGE inhibition†
DESCRIPTION
Ultra Benfotiamine contains the fat-soluble thiamine vitamin called benfotiamine, plus activated vitamin B6,
alpha lipoic acid, grape seed extract and pine bark extract to support healthy peripheral circulation and the
nervous system, normal kidney function, and AGE (advanced glycation end-product) inhibition that is related to
healthy blood sugar metabolism.†

FUNCTIONS
BenfoPure® is a unique proprietary form of Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of Vitamin B-1 Thiamine. Studies
show that BenfoPure® Benfotiamine is significantly more bioavailable than traditional forms of Vitamin B-1 or
thiamine. In Europe, benfotiamine has been utilized for decades in reducing the negative impact of sustained
high blood sugar levels.† Benfotiamine supports the body through blocking biochemical pathways by which
high blood sugar damages cells. Excessive sugar intake and high blood sugar are associated with a wide
range of health complications.

Studies have demonstrated the following benefits:
• Benfotiamine helps support normal peripheral circulation†
• Benfotiamine may reduce discomfort and dysfunction, helping to maintain a healthy nervous system
while protecting against oxidative stress in the brain.†
• Benfotiamine supports normal kidney function.†
• Benfotiamine maintains normal endothelial function by reducing the risk of AGEs, which is associated
with optimal cardiovascular health.†
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that become glycated after exposure to
sugars. The presence and accumulation of AGEs in many different cell types affect extracellular and
intracellular structure and function. In high blood sugar environments and in natural aging, AGEs alter cell
structure and normal vascular function.
Vitamin B6 has been shown to help provide comfort for peripheral nerves, especially in those individuals with
pyridoxine deficiency. Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P5P) is the active form of pyridoxine that the body utilizes
directly without need for conversion from pyridoxine. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is among the well-researched
nutrients for support of peripheral nerve function. ALA may normalize nitric oxide levels to support increased
circulation to the neurons. One study confirmed ALA resulted in significant reductions in lipid peroxidation.
Proanthocyanidins are a class of potent antioxidants found in pine bark extract, grape seed extract, and many
other plants. OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) has been shown to neutralize free radicals, support the
strength and structure of blood vessels, and support the normal inflammatory response.†
MegaNatural® BP Grape seed extract is different from other grape seed extracts and made by a patented
water extraction process that yields a high grade extract with a low molecular weight. Mega Natural BP extract
contains over 90% proanthocyanidins. Studies in humans also show it can help maintain normal arterial
function and endothelium cell function.†

INDICATIONS
Ultra Benfotiamine is indicated for individuals that desire healthy outcomes of blood sugar metabolism such as
healthy nerve function, kidney function, and vascular health.†
