NatureBell Benfotiamine with Thiamine - 240 Vegetarian Capsules - 300mg Benfotiamine & 100mg Thiamine - Vitamin B1 Complex

Key Ingredients & Forms

Benfotiamine (300 mg): A synthetic, fat-soluble form of thiamine that exhibits significantly higher bioavailability than water-soluble thiamine. It resists breakdown by thiaminases in the gut and can be taken up by cells more readily. Benfotiamine is particularly effective at raising B1 levels in tissues such as nerves, kidneys, and the retina.
Thiamine Mononitrate (100 mg): A stable, water-soluble salt form that dissolves quickly in the digestive tract. It provides an immediate source of thiamine for the body's daily needs.

Each vegetarian capsule contains a balanced combination of these two forms, offering a total of 400 mg of B1 per two-capsule serving. The capsules are made from plant-based cellulose and contain no artificial additives.

How to Take Benfotiamine with Thiamine

As a food supplement, take two vegetarian capsules daily with a meal and a full glass of water. Consistency is key—taking it at the same time each day helps maintain stable B1 levels. For best results, pair with a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your health care provider before uses.

Side Effects and Interactions

Vitamin B1 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or headache. Thiamine and benfotiamine can cause urine to turn bright yellow—a harmless effect due to riboflavin excretion. No significant drug interactions are known, but always speak with a health care professional if you are on medications for diabetes, heart disease, or neurological conditions. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

What Is Benfotiamine with Thiamine?

Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is essential for converting food into energy and maintaining proper nerve function. NatureBell's Benfotiamine with Thiamine combines two distinct forms of this vital nutrient: 300 mg of benfotiamine (a fat-soluble derivative) and 100 mg of thiamine mononitrate (a water-soluble salt). This dual-action approach ensures that your body receives both immediate and sustained B1 support. Benfotiamine's lipid solubility allows it to be absorbed more efficiently than standard thiamine, reaching tissues throughout the body. Together, these forms work to promote healthy heart function, support energy metabolism, and maintain a healthy nervous system.

Benefits of Benfotiamine and Thiamine

Vitamin B1 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal function of the nervous system. This dual-form formula provides both immediate and sustained B1 support, helping to maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day. Many users report improved mental clarity and reduced feelings of fatigue when their B1 levels are optimised. For heart health, thiamine contributes to normal cardiac muscle function and helps maintain healthy blood vessels. While individual results vary, this supplement offers a comprehensive approach to B1 nutrition.

Why Choose This Dual-Form Formula?

Standard thiamine supplements often have poor absorption and are rapidly excreted. Benfotiamine overcomes these limitations by being more bio-available and staying in the body longer. NatureBell’s combination ensures you get the best of both worlds: immediate energy support from thiamine mononitrate and sustained tissue saturation from benfotiamine. This product is third-party tested for potency and purity, guaranteeing that what’s on the label matches what’s inside. It is also non-GM, gluten-free, soya-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, egg-free, fish-free, and free from tree nuts, making it suitable for most dietary preferences.
