The BenfoTeam clinical research trial is based on evidence from decades of research on the role of thiamine in Alzheimer's disease (AD). BenfoTeam scientists have found that thiamine (vitamin B1) does not enter the brains of people with early Alzheimer's disease despite having a sufficient supply of thiamine in their blood. Fortunately, there is…
