This **benfotiamine** gives you 200mg of a fat-soluble vitamin B1 that absorbs roughly five times better than standard thiamine, reaching the nerve and muscle tissue where ordinary B1 struggles to go. At that dose it's a full, studied amount for nerve health and glucose metabolism — the two areas benfotiamine has the strongest research behind — in a single capsule, no stacking needed.

The label lets you take 1 to 3 capsules daily, so you can scale from this 200mg baseline up to 400-600mg if you're targeting the higher end of the nerve-support research. For everyday energy metabolism and general B1 needs, a single daily capsule already covers you fully, and the flexible dosing means you control where in the studied range you land.
