i have very well controlled t2 diabetes.i found after 6 years of metformin i developed nephropathy in my feet and it was bad,this went on for a year and was getting worse.i did 3 tablets 750mg a day of benfotiamine plus 3 tabs of b12 and found after 3 weeks things were a lot better . now after 1 year i am almost cured the level now is not a problem.so for people asking does it work the answer is yes at least in people in my situation.
however i would guess for it to work you also have to control your sugar

I just read some studies that say benfotiamine actually doesn’t help neuropathy. What? Now I’m so upset that I spent money to get help that doesn’t work. What is a lie? What is not. What kind of world are we living in? What do you say about this?

I have peripheral neuopathy due to a ruptured lumbar disc adn only one leg is affected. I take benfotiamine 250 mg twice in am and twice in pm and have no pain, no burning, no zapping. So, if low doses of benfotiamine are not working increase the dose. I’ve been taking for about 10 years.

Janet, benfotiamine may help. But you have to try it to find out. There are many potential things to help neuropathy, including supplements and medications. See this article for a start: https://selfhacked.com/blog/pain/

Can someone help me with this question? I have severe burning and numbness in my feet and legs including my thighs. I’m not diabetic. Is it possible that benfotomine will help with this. Sometimes it’s causes me to be in tears. Drs say it Prefirial Neuropathy caused by Spinal Stenosis.
Thank you,
Janet

I strongly suggest if using supplements such as one as good as this, to consider doing the keto diet. It really isnt a diet so much as it is healthy eating. Carbs and sugar are the leading cause to most of the ailments listed here.

I have heard taking Benfotiamine will help with tinnitus and repair the damage between brain and ears?

In reply to Tom Kelly. Hi Tom, Benfotiamine contains a single thiamine molecule, whereas sulbutiamine contains two thiamine molecules bound together. For depression-related fatigue, sulbutiamine would likely be the best option as it has been shown to increase thiamine levels in the brain, which benfotiamine does not. You may also want to look into B6 and B12 supplementation, as both are involved in energy production and deficiencies in either is associated with depression.

I was going to use benfotiamine as recommended by a thyroid expert, I took a 150mg capsule and experienced the same kind of flush as after taking 100mg of Niacin, my whole face really, really red etc. Is it a sign of Sulfur sensitivity, or can I neglect it as is recommended while taking niacine??

Can u contrast the differences between Bento and Sulbutiamine given the perceived similarities of the B1 association? Specifically, which one would be better for depression and the fatigue which is most associated with it? Finally, which stacking protocol would work best for such a condition? Any insights are appreciated.
