Product Description
Your training diet includes a lot of carbohydrate, gels and drinks included, and processing that load leans on your body's glucose-metabolism enzymes. Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, is studied specifically for supporting those pathways with regard to general and diabetic health.
BenfoMax by Pure Encapsulations is built to support glucose metabolism, vascular function, and nerve health with a highly absorbable form of vitamin B1, delivering 200 mg of benfotiamine per capsule.
Helps your body handle heavy carb loads – Benfotiamine supports the enzymes your body uses to metabolize glucose, the same pathways under more strain when your diet leans carb-heavy for training.
Supports healthy blood flow – In a clinical trial, benfotiamine supported healthy blood vessel function after a meal high in glycated compounds, the kind that forms when food is cooked at high heat.
Backs nerve health – Clinical research also ties benfotiamine to healthy nerve conduction and comfort, rounding out its support beyond glucose metabolism alone.
Benfotiamine works by supporting thiamine pyrophosphate and transketolase, two enzymes central to how your body metabolizes glucose and manages compounds called advanced glycation end products, which build up when protein and sugar react under heat or in the body. Research also links it to healthy kidney and retinal cell function, plus balanced cytokine activity through the NF-κB pathway. This formula uses Japanese-manufactured benfotiamine in a vegan capsule.
How To Use BenfoMax
Dose: Take 1 capsule, 1-3 times daily, with meals.
Big carb-loading days or race week: Lean toward the higher end of that range, up to 3 capsules, when your carbohydrate intake is highest, since that's when glucose-metabolism demand peaks.

Everything you need to know about Pure Encapsulations BenfoMax.
Benfotiamine supports the enzymes your body uses to metabolize glucose, the same pathways under more strain when gels and drinks make up a big share of your diet. Each capsule delivers 200 mg.
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamine with enhanced retention compared to standard B1. It's specifically studied for glucose metabolism, vascular function, and nerve health.
Yes — in a randomized, crossover trial, benfotiamine supported healthy vascular function after a meal high in glycated compounds. Those compounds form when food is cooked at high heat.
Lean toward the higher end — up to 3 capsules — on your biggest carb-loading days, since that's when glucose-metabolism demand peaks. On normal days, 1 capsule with a meal is enough.
Clinical research also ties benfotiamine to healthy nerve conduction and comfort, plus eye and kidney cell function. It's a broader formula than a single-purpose glucose aid.
