The Source Naturals brand of Benfotiamine seems to act more like a mood stabilizer than an energy supplement, which might be helpful for a manic depressive. Regular B1 (thiamine hydrochloride), at least for me, acts like an energy supplement and does improve mood if you really need it. I don't think it's absolutely necessary to take benfotiamine, but it might be a good adjunct for people who would benefit from extra B1 supplementation. Go for the Source Naturals brand. It is useful.
