“Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate)”  

Allithiamine (Benfotiamine)

  As a welltrient, Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate) is an active coenzyme derivative of thiamine in a fat-soluble form. Benfotiamine is an allithiamine, a unique class of thiamin-derived compounds present in trace quantities in roasted crushed garlic and other vegetables from the Allium genus (such as onions, shallots, and leeks). Benfotiamine's open-ringed structure makes it able to pass directly through cell membranes, readily crossing the intestinal wall and being taken straight into the cell.
  In organic chemistry, benfotiamine is a thioester synthetic analogue of thiamine, obtained by acylative cleavage of the thiazole ring and O-phospohorylation. *
