Hi all...
Been reading about thiamine for dysautonomia, neuropathy, and anxiety. Reading about Benfotiamine, too.
Research says one can't absorb much thiamine from the intestinal tract if over 40 (am 58), but results of studies indicate that thiamine via injection appears effective.
Question: is transdermal delivery comparable to injection?
Part of my reading included transdermal delivery of Benfotiamine, but I don't yet have the full article, only the abstract. Does anyone know how to make a thiamine and Benfotiamine transdermal?
Back to intestinal absorption of thiamine...
Intestinal ALP is required, and one article said that age is associated with lower intestinal ALP, the intestinal mucosa not that of a twenty-year-old. I'd like to increase intestinal ALP....metabolic panel which measures ALP from all sources--liver, bone, intestinal--is low...and that's ALP from all sources--most people wrongly think that their ALP is only reflecting liver. I realize that first and foremost I need a healthy intestinal mucosa (have recently gone gluten-free, take NAG, probiotics, etc...btw, don't have Celiac or IBS), but is there anyway to increase intestinal ALP itself? Have recently been hypothyroid (medicine removed my gland via I131 when I was only twenty...have been on replacement, mostly Synthroid, ever since) and know that low thyroid is often associated with low ALP.
TIA....
