Benfotiamine (B1) with Alpha Lipoic Acid By Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.

Not All Vitamin B1 Is Created Equal For enhanced absorption and comprehensive nerve and metabolic support, this is Dr. Berg’s first choice
This comprehensive nutrient blend also includes vitamin D3,vitamin B12, additional needed B vitamins, and magnesium

This formula provides Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 designed for enhanced absorption and works with Alpha Lipoic Acid Benfotiamine to support nerve function, glucose metabolism, and cellular antioxidant defenses.

The formula includes B9 as Folate. This is the natural B9 found in food, (Folic Acid is the synthesized B9 found in a lot of supplements and processed foods). Folate is essential for the formation of the nervous system and the production of neurotransmitters

Vitamin B12 – hydroxocobalamin It is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 produced by certain bacteria and found in foods, and it is commonly used in injectable B12 treatments. It binds tightly to proteins in your blood, which means it stays in your system longer than cyanocobalamin. That’s one reason it’s the preferred form for injections.

Do “Active” Forms Absorb Better?

This is the central claim driving most B12 marketing, and the evidence doesn’t support it. Once any form of B12 reaches your cells, it gets stripped down to bare cobalamin and then reassembled into either methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin depending on what your body needs. Taking methylcobalamin doesn’t give your cells a head start, because the methyl group gets removed during processing anyway.

Benefits:

Benfotiamine helps cells process carbohydrates and convert them into cellular energy.

Alpha-lipoic acid complements these benefits by working in both water and fat-soluble environments to help neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin D3, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate, and magnesium complete this powerful formula. Together, these nutrients provide complementary metabolic and antioxidant support for healthy nerve function.

CoQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced within the mitochondria of our cells that is important for our cardiovascular health.  Mitochondria are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the body because they generate ATP, the body’s primary source of energy. Since organs like the heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles require significant energy to function, they contain especially high concentrations of CoQ10.

However, CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age, which may impact energy production and cardiovascular function. Supplementation can help replenish these levels and support optimal wellness.

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced in the colon when beneficial gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber. Although small in size, this compound has wide-ranging effects throughout the body, particularly on gut health, immune balance, and inflammation control.

Scientists now recognize butyrate as far more than a byproduct of digestion. It serves as a major energy source for colon cells, strengthening the intestinal barrier, and acts as a signaling molecule that helps regulate immune activity.
