Vitamin B1 Benfotiamine (Absorbable Thiamine), With Coconut Oil and Magnesium

Off Lyrica and Finally Have My Mind Back

Type 2 diabetic for 12 years. The neuropathy got so bad my doctor put me on Lyrica. Within 3 months I couldn't remember my grandkids' names and gained 30 pounds. The pain was still there. Found VitalNutra through a diabetes forum and decided to it. After 6 weeks, my doctor helped me taper off Lyrica. The tingling is 70% better and I have my mind back. No brain fog. No weight gain. I'm 68 now and have more energy than I did in my early 60s. Ordering my sixth bottle today.

Finally Sleeping Through the Night Again

I was skeptical about another supplement, but my feet were burning so bad I couldn't sleep more than 3 hours a night. Gabapentin made me feel like a zombie and I'd gained 25 pounds in 6 months. Started taking VitalNutra's benfotiamine and within 5 weeks the burning decreased by about 60%. I'm sleeping through the night now. My head is clear. Best part? My doctor actually asked what I changed because she'd never seen my nerve function scores improve like this. Been taking it 4 months now and feeling better than I have in years. Later on I was reading the label and realized how much though went into this formula because when you do deep research you will understand that benfotiamine and magnesium literally have to go together yet no supplement on the market does this and then they have coconut oil to stabilize the formula. all I can say is thank you ❤️

"I'm 61, Type 2 diabetic for 9 years, and on metformin since 2018. Nobody ever told me metformin depletes B1. Not one doctor mentioned it. I found out from a Facebook group and honestly felt angry — I'd spent three years thinking the burning in my feet was just "part of being diabetic." I started VitalNutra's benfotiamine softgels in January. By week three the burning in my left foot — the bad one — had dropped from an 8 out of 10 to about a 4. By week six I walked around Target for an hour without having to sit down on the floor by the shoe section like I used to. At my March appointment my neurologist pulled up my nerve conduction scores from 6 months prior and compared them to the new ones. She printed them out and said she wanted to show her colleagues. I cried in the car. I've ordered every month since and I'm not stopping."

"Alcohol destroys your thiamine — I learned that the hard way. After 14 months sober my hands still tingled constantly and I had shooting pains up my calves at night that kept me awake. My addiction counselor mentioned benfotiamine and I found VitalNutra because of the 600mg dose — everything else I found was 150mg or less. I started in February, three softgels a day with dinner. The night pain started easing around week four. By month two I was sleeping six, sometimes seven hours straight — the first time since I can remember. The tingling in my hands is maybe 30% of what it was. I'm not going to pretend it's a miracle cure but I've tried B12, alpha lipoic acid, everything — this is the first thing that's moved the needle. I tell everyone in my recovery group about it."

"This review is actually for my husband Gary, 67, who doesn't write reviews for anything. He had neuropathy so bad in both feet he'd stopped walking the dog, stopped going to church with me, stopped doing basically anything that required standing for more than 10 minutes. He was embarrassed about it and depressed. I found VitalNutra doing research at 11pm one night while he was sleeping. He was skeptical but agreed to try it. Week one, nothing. Week two, nothing. Week four he walked to the end of the driveway and back without holding onto me. Week six he asked if I wanted to walk around the block. I started crying and he thought something was wrong. Week eight he walked our dog — a golden retriever who pulls hard — for the first time in two years. He's still not 100%. But he went back to church last Sunday. That's everything to me."

"Type 1 diabetic, 31 years. I've managed it well but the neuropathy crept in about five years ago regardless — tingling feet, occasional sharp pains, some numbness in two toes on my right foot. I started reading about benfotiamine after a paper came up in a diabetes Reddit thread. Found VitalNutra because of the dosing — 600mg is what the clinical studies actually used, not the 100mg most brands are selling. I've been on it four months. The two numb toes have gone from completely numb to about 70% sensation returned — I know that sounds impossible but I tested it myself daily with a pen cap. At my last endo appointment she looked at my numbers and said "whatever you're doing, keep doing it." I told her about the benfotiamine and she said she was going to look into it for other patients. Four stars becomes five the day I get full sensation back in those toes — but four months in I'm confident that day is coming."

"I want to be very clear — I tapered off gabapentin with my doctor's supervision and I am not telling anyone to just stop their medication. But I do want people to know what happened to me because I wish someone had told me sooner. I was on 900mg of gabapentin a day for diabetic neuropathy. I was foggy, I'd gained 22 pounds in 8 months, and I was still having nerve pain — just duller. My daughter found VitalNutra and basically begged me to try it. I started the benfotiamine softgels in October while still on gabapentin. By week six my pain scores were low enough that I talked to my doctor about a taper. By month three I was completely off gabapentin. I've lost 14 of those 22 pounds because I'm not foggy anymore and I'm actually moving. The nerve pain is maybe 40% of what it was at its worst — without medication. I'm 72 years old and I feel like I got a piece of my life back. I leave reviews for nothing. I'm leaving one for this."
