Title:Passes Muster

Date:June 28, 2010

"Only been using this for a few days now so I dont know if it is better than the other forms of thiamin (B1) but by all accounts on internet it should be better absorbed and more bioavailable to cells than other forms."

Date:June 5, 2010

"A friend told me about Benfotiamine and said how well it was working for him and his sister. He gave me a brochure so I could order some. But when I saw how expensive it was, I went on the Swansom website and found it so much cheaper.
It seems to be working for me too. I am very happy with products from Swanson. Very fast shipping, Great prices and order is always correct."

Title:Best form of B1

Date:August 24, 2009

"Great for my skin! Expensive for a B-vitamin but this is the most bioavailable form of B1.
Cheapest price I found anywhere.
Be sure to take with a B-complex to get the maximun benefit! Otherwise you'll reduce it's effectiveness by 5 fold!"

Title:The Better Form of B1

Date:April 16, 2009

"Maybe because it is fat-soluble is why it works so well. However, I think it should also come in a
higher mg. I take 4 a day. It is the one vitamin I take that I can say that the results are astounding."
