Thiamine and its co-enzyme, TPP\nthiamine (vitamin B1) plays an essential part in the metabolism of glucose,\nthrough actions of it co-enzyme TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate). TPP is formed by\nthe enzymatically catalyzed addition of two phosphate groups donated by ATP to\nthiamine. TPP also goes by the name thiamine diphosphate. In the cytoplasm of\nthe cell, glucose, a 6-carbon sugar, is metabolized to pyruvic acid, which is\nconverted into acetyl-CoA, otherwise known as active acetate. Acetyl CoA\nenters the mitochondrion, where it serves as the starting substrate in the\nKreb's cycle citric acid cycle. The Krebs cycle is the primary source of\ncellular metabolic energy. TPP, along with other co-enzymes, is essential for\nthe removal of CO2 from pyruvic acid, which in turn is a key step in the\nconversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA. CO2 removal from pyruvic acid is\ncalled oxidative decarboxylation and for this reason, TPP was originally\nreferred to as cocarboxylase. TPP is thus vital to the cell's energy supply.\nBenfotiamine helps maintain healthy cells in the presence of blood glucose.\nActing as a biochemical super-thiamin, it does this through several different\ncellular mechanisms, as discussed below. Benfotiamine and glucose metabolism\nbenfotiamine normalizes cellular processes fueled by glucose metabolites. As\nlong as glucose remains at normal levels, excess glucose metabolites do not\naccumulate within the cell. The bulk of the cell's glucose supply is converted\nto pyruvic acid, which serves as substrate for production of acetyl CoA, the\nprimary fuel for the krebs cycle. Of the total amount of metabolic energy (in\nthe form of ATP) released from food, the Krebs cycle generates about 90\npercent.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eDoctors Best Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble highly bioavailable derivative of thiamine (Vitamin B1).* Benfotiamine is activated in the bloodstream to release thiamine, and remains available in the body four times longer than water-soluble thiamin.* Benfotiamine activates transketolase, a cellular enzyme essential for glucose metabolism pathway.* It helps support the circulatory and nervous systems with radical-scavenging action against oxidative stress, providing a positive influence on Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs).*\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eGLUCOSE METABOLISM SUPPORT  Glucose is one of our bodys best sources of energy - and is available through bread, fruits, vegetables and more.
