Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place.

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Benfotiamine 150 mg by Woodstock Vitamins
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This capsule has one active ingredient, benfotiamine, at 150 mg. Our data describes it through the studies we hold, but it doesn't spell out a general role beyond the conditions covered in its effectiveness ratings.
The inactive ingredients (excipients) are microcrystalline cellulose, HPMC, ascorbyl palmitate, silica, and medium-chain triglyceride oil.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Benfotiamine's evidence is mixed. For diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage linked to diabetes), it is rated Possibly Effective.
For diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage linked to diabetes), it is rated Possibly Ineffective. For alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, and peripheral neuropathy, the evidence is rated Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate, which means the data we hold isn't enough to judge whether it helps.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Benfotiamine is generally well tolerated in the studies we hold, though long-term safety is not fully known. In one clinical study of 98 patients taking 300-600 mg daily for six weeks, a small number reported allergic skin reactions, and a small number reported mild stomach discomfort.
The rate of side effects was not different from placebo. Safety while breastfeeding has not been well studied, so caution is advised.
The pregnancy entry on file contains no details, so there isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice about your situation.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
We hold no documented interaction categories for benfotiamine, the only active ingredient we could check, so no medication types are flagged. That absence isn't a guarantee, so review your full medication list with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Benfotiamine may be worth discussing with your doctor if you're looking at it for diabetic nerve symptoms, since its rating for diabetic neuropathy is Possibly Effective. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, be more careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Our data holds no documented interactions, but that doesn't replace a conversation with your own healthcare provider.

Formula
Benfotiamine is a lipid-soluble derivative of thiamin that demonstrates improved absorption and duration of activity compared to water-soluble thiamin. Benfotiamine activates transketolase activity, thereby facilitating conversion of harmful glucose metabolites and positively affecting AGE formation. It supports peripheral nerve health and may support vascular health, including the microvasculature of the retina and kidney. Benfotiamine is also an excellent way to improve thiamin status.
