BESTVITE Benfotiamine 300mg (60 Vegetarian Capsules) No Stearates - No Silicon Dioxide - Vegan - Non GMO - Gluten Free

I took this for a couple of months. I thought it would help with blood sugar. I was shocked to find my blood pressure had gone up significantly. Additionally I started losing hair. I have stopped Benfotiamine now.

Excellent product. Take one twice a day for small nerve fibre neuropathy for past 4 months to aid healing and it is working.

High quality helps with my Peripheral Neuropathy recommended by Dr Berg.

Do not know facts about long-term side effects of using, but the short term effect of relief from peripheral neuopathy pain and tingling and numbness is wonderful, so as to not endure the prescription drug side effects of gambapentin, which causes fatigue, sleepiness, unsteadiness on my feet, and now even some temporary (so-far) hearing loss. My doctors can not tell me anything more than what I find of the internet about safety, but one finds that one has to do what one has to do. Viable alternative for anyone who is already unsteady on their feet to avoid worsening that condition. Update: After using this product since summer 2018, I can credit this product with saving me from unbelievable misery from peripheral neuropathy due to medically necessary treatments. I felt relief starting within an hour after taking the first pill, but the effect only lasted about two hours, so I found myself taking them at a rate that worried me about injurious side effects, but could not resist taking the pill because I needed the relief to be able to live my life. Upon the doctor's recommendation, I also tried L-glutamine and the supplements of the B-complex. Unfortunatley I experienced no relief whatsover from the L-glutamine, which I had hoped would reduce my use of the benfotiamine, since no authentic studies have been done on the long term effects of high doses (or even low doses) of benfotiamine. But since my doctor was so surprised that I was getting no relief from the L-glutamine, I decided to try another brand to see if that made a difference. The brand I had tried first was from the nationally known "nutrition" store chain that I had thought would be more reliable. BEWARE, since the FDA does not regulate supplements, we are totally at the mercy of the sellers, and apparently national name recognition means nothing. I got another brand sold on Amazon, and lo and behold, I felt quite a bit of relief with the new product. So then I started to alternate dosing between the two products, the benfotiamine and the L-glutamine, hoping to reduce at least somewhat any negative effects of over-use of either product. Dosing with either product is now spaced much farther apart, usually at least 8 hours, and I must always use the benfotiamine before going to bed and immediately upon arising, but then I have to take blood pressure pills at those times also, so it is just part of my routine. Lengthy exposure to extreme heat seems to increase the effects of the neuropathy, just as a side note, and since I do a lot of outside work, those are the days that I have to take either the benfo or the L-gluti more often, and if I don't, there will be no sleep for a long time that night, because I refuse to increase the amount I take at any one time to compensate for not having stopped my work to take a dose when I felt the need during the day. This brand has worked extremely well for me, and I could not be more grateful. Good luck to all of you out there who are hurting. BTW, so far I can not attribute any side effects to the usage of befo or L-gluti. But be aware, and try another brand of any supplement that has good repute from others but doesn't do well for you--it may just be a manufacturing problem. Maybe some day the FDA will step in and help us. Oh, almost forgot--tinnitus in my left ear comes right back if I don't take my benfo soon enough, but goes away about an hour after taking the benfo. Another huge HUGE benefit of benfo!!! I can only say, my life wouldn't be worth living without Benfotiamine, even now, 2 years after starting using it.

I defo think they improved my relaxation before sleep
