This is a supplement that is a precursor to thiamin or vitamin B1 that is absorbed more readily than ordinary thiamine supplements. The result is that the thiamine levels are naturally increased in the body including in nerves and in the brain. It is called benfotiamine. In a clinical trial it helped to reduce Alzheimer’s disease assessment scores by 44%, which indicates that it will help with dementia. An additional benefit is that it helps to reduce advanced glycated end products, which can contribute to inflammation. It also more directly reduces inflammation by slowing the conversion of arachidonic acid to proinflammatory prostaglandins. The typical dosage used is from 150mg a day up to 600mg a day. Of course as with any supplement, check with your doctor before using it.
