A

Benfotiamine

Supplements

Mechanism

Lipid-soluble thiamine derivative that improves cellular thiamine availability and helps reduce advanced glycation stress in high-glucose environments.

Contraindications

  • None established at standard doses
B

Pterostilbene

Supplements

Mechanism

Dimethylated analog of resveratrol with 4x greater oral bioavailability. Activates SIRT1 and AMPK, reduces oxidative stress, and improves lipid profiles. Superior pharmacokinetics compared to resveratrol due to methyl groups protecting against glucuronidation.

Contraindications

  • Hormone-sensitive conditions (mild estrogenic activity)
