What is Sulbutiamine
Sulbutiamine is called the enhanced version of Vitamin B1. Actually, it is a synthetic derivative of thiamine also known as vitamin B1 and sold under the market name Arcalion. It is composed of two modified thiamine molecules and crosses the blood-brain barrier more effectively than thiamine and increases the levels of thiamine and thiamine phosphate esters in the brain. Sulbutiamine provides a variety of cognitive benefits, including helping improve memory and learning. It improves erectile dysfunction and reduces psycho-behavioural inhibition. Sulbutiamine demonstrated evidence of modulatory effect on dopaminergic and glutamatergic cortical transmissions. It is also used by people with asthenia.
