Review: Love! - Has used these every single day, and I never missed a single they have taken them, they just do something for me, especially if you have issues with b12. I get so much energy with this vitamin and I feel like it makes me more alert. I love you for my name is great and easy to take them, easy use. Review: Excellent Bioavailable B1—A Must-Have in Our Daily Health Routine - We’ve been using Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine for many months now, and it’s one of those supplements that’s become a non-negotiable in our household. If you eat any kind of carbs—yes, even the healthy ones—your body uses up Vitamin B1 (thiamine). So we supplement daily to stay ahead of that drain. We specifically chose this brand because the powdered form of B1 doesn't work well for my husband—his system just doesn’t tolerate it. This fat-soluble, highly absorbable capsule has been a much better fit. We also love that it's non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian, and always in stock through our subscription. My husband has some health issues and often experiences burning in his toes and tingling in his hands and feet. On tougher days, he needs up to six capsules spaced throughout the day to keep those symptoms at bay while his body continues healing. It’s a high-dose supplement, so it allows for that flexibility. As for me, I tend to get a deep ache in my ankles when the weather turns cool or the AC is running, and this helps ease that discomfort. I usually take one capsule twice a day, and it keeps things in check. Also worth noting: after many months of use, we’ve never once opened a bottle and found an empty or defective capsule—that kind of consistency matters when you’re relying on a supplement daily and prices grow like well-watered weeds. ⭐ Pros: High potency and highly absorbable fat-soluble B1 Great for nerve support and general metabolic health Gluten-free, non-GMO, vegetarian No empty capsules—always consistent Works better than powdered forms for sensitive systems Reliable stock through desertcart subscription ❌ Minor Con: None for us—just keep in mind it’s a high dose, so adjust as needed under guidance Final thoughts: If you’re looking for a clean, effective form of thiamine that actually does something, this is it. It’s helped both of us in different ways, and it’s one of the few supplements we’re committed to long-term. ## Features - Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine, 180 Vegetarian Capsules - SUPERIOR FORMULATION: Contains two forms of B vitamins for better results - FAT & WATER SOLUBLE: Contains 250mg of Benfotiamine which is fat-soluble and 10mg Thiamine which is water-soluble - DIRECTIONS: Take one (1) capsule one to four times daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner - NON-GMO: Add to your cart because you deserve the best vitamin B1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SKLSB4X | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,600 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #11 in Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Supplements | | Brand | Life Extension | | Brand Name | Life Extension | | Color | ... | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,858 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Dosage Form | Capsule | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Highlight | 250 mg of benfotiamine and 10 mg of thiamine (vitamin B1) per capsule, Gluten Free, Vegetarian | | Manufacturer | Life Extension | | Manufacturer Part Number | Life Extension | | Material Features | GMO Free | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | Vitamin B1 | | Unit Count | 180 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Life Extension - **Color:** ... - **Diet Type:** Vegetarian - **Dosage Form:** Capsule - **Flavor:** Unflavored - **Item Form:** Capsule - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Primary Supplement Type:** Vitamin B1 - **Unit Count:** 180 Count ## Images ![Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine 250 mg, 180 Vegetarian Capsules - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xww-pP0zL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the physical size of the capsule?** A: 3/4" long.

Here's Why... *by S***R on December 23, 2017* I'll leave my original review from a year ago below but I"m changing my rating from 3 to 5 stars for two big reasons. 1. My feet are in agony right now. This had been happening to me before I started taking benfotiamine and this was the first brand of it that I tried. It worked beautifully. A some point I ordered a different unknown brand and the pain returned so I went back on this one. Then months passed and again I ordered a cheaper but this time very well known brand in orange and white bottle and immediately the pain returned. I kept telling myself there is no way that it could be from switching brands. But it has become very obvious to me that this is what's happening again. I have no idea why Life Extension's benfotiamine is working but 2 other brands that I've tried didn't. It makes no sense but it is definitely the reality of the situation for me. It seems like this one blunts the effect of blood sugar on nerves and the others didn't. 2. As you can read in my old review at the end of this one, I was nervous about thiamine increasing cancer risk. After researching that I found out that it is true, if you take a regular dose thiamine supplement. But if you megadose thiamine, such as the amount in one of these pills, the pro cancer effect is actually reversed and thiamine becomes anti cancer. I'm about to re order these and return the other brand I've been taking so I can go back to getting some relief, and get my confidence back that my nerves are being protected. Original review: I have to give 3 stars because I'm very unsure if this product after reading about thiamine's potential to make cancer grow fast. Evidently there are chemo agents designed to block thiamine for that reason. I've been taking this for months, just went through 2 bottles thinking I'm doing the best thing I can do to protect my nerves from the effects of high blood sugar. And although the studies show this works great for that maybe better than anything else and it's been used in Europe as a drug, learning about the cancer aspect scares me. Google "benfotiamine cancer" and "thiamine cancer" if you want to read some of the articles I just read about that. Update 10/7/2019 I'm still using this, I've repurchased 9 times. I wish it were cheaper but I can;t do without it. I'ts preventing a lot of bizarre symptoms which I could write a book on, but they come back whenever I start skipping doses. ## Frequently Bought Together - Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine, 250 mg, 180 Veg caps with Thiamine - Vitamin B1 Supplement - Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid, 240mg, 60 Count - Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium L-threonate, Memory Health, Quick Thinking, Cognitive Health Support, Vegetarian, Non-GMO, 90 Vegetarian Capsules --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/157328604-life-extension-mega-benfotiamine-250-mg-180-vegetarian-capsules](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/157328604-life-extension-mega-benfotiamine-250-mg-180-vegetarian-capsules) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
