Clinician & peer endorsements

  • The clearest writing on benfotiamine I have read anywhere — Dr. Mann translates pharmacology into a plan a patient can actually follow.
    S. Patel, MDNeurologist, Boston
  • After six months on his protocol, my baseline neuropathy score dropped meaningfully. I refer patients to his work routinely.
    L. Hernandez, DPMPodiatrist, Phoenix
  • Dr. Mann is the rare clinician-researcher who cites his sources and still writes for humans. We use his primer in our resident teaching.
    J. Okafor, MDEndocrinology, Chicago
  • I have read most of the English-language literature on benfotiamine. His synthesis is the most useful I have come across.
    M. Chen, PhDPharmacology researcher
