Thiamine Disulfide can enhance the nervous system by improving memory and recall as well as boosting control of muscle activity. Taking extra thiamine is also thought to augment carbohydrate metabolism as it increases muscle endurance during short bouts of intense activity. That means thiamine may be able to help you complete more reps with a given weight and offer you more overall energy. Modified versions such as thiamine di(2-methylpropionate) disulfide not only enhance absorption but also function. This modified thiamine selectively binds to specific cells in the brain. This means it activates certain areas of the brain and causes them to stimulate motor activities and motivation.

Sulbutiamine (brand name: Arcalion) is a synthetic derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1). As a dimer of two modified thiamine molecules, it is a lipophilic compound that crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than thiamine and increases the levels of thiamine and thiamine phosphate esters in the brain. Sulbutiamine was discovered in Japan in an effort to develop more useful thiamine derivatives since it was hoped that increasing the lipophilicity of thiamine would result in better pharmacokinetic properties.

Benfotiamine, or benphothiamine, is marketed as a lipid soluble form of thiamine. Preliminary human studies indicate that it may be helpful in diabetic neuropathy and to reduce microvascular damage from high blood sugar. Much more research is needed before we determine the appropriate dosage and whether long term use has side effects that are of concern. There are some scientists who are skeptical of the benefits of this nutrient. Advanced glycation and lipoxidation end products (AGEs / ALEs) have been implicated in the causation of some of the major microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus: diabetic nephropathy, and retinopathy. Benfotiamine is a transketolase activator that directs these substrates to the pentose phosphate pathway, thus perhaps reducing tissue AGEs.
