Thorne Research

Most of them share something in common: undisclosed manufacturing standards, contract facilities with minimal oversight, and forms of nutrients your body struggles to actually absorb.

Thorne is the exception.

Founded in 1984 and now trusted by more than 100 professional and national sports organizations including the NBA, NFL, and UFC, Thorne has spent four decades building a rigorous quality system in the supplement industry. They don’t outsource manufacturing to contract facilities and they own and operate their own plant in Summerville, South Carolina, which gives them complete control over every ingredient.

Every product goes through rigorous testing:

• Raw materials are tested for identity and purity before anything is mixed.
• In-process testing monitors quality throughout manufacturing.
• Finished products are tested before shipping and again for shelf-life stability. 
• Their facility holds NSF certification, is audited by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration, widely considered the world’s strictest regulatory body, and is GRMA-certified for exceeding global good manufacturing practices.
• Every batch is screened for over 280 banned substances through NSF Certified for Sport, the same standard Olympic athletes rely on.

What makes Thorne formulations specifically better is the form of each ingredient. Most supplement brands use the cheapest bioavailable form available. Thorne uses chelated minerals, methylated B vitamins, and bioavailable nutrient forms that your body can actually absorb and use, which matters when you are investing in your health and want results you can feel.

]Their product range covers the full spectrum of performance and longevity needs: creatine, magnesium bisglycinate, berberine, omega-3s, multivitamins, stress support, sleep support, protein, probiotics, and advanced at-home testing kits including a cortisol and DHEA stress test. 

With Thorne, you don’t have to wonder if what’s in the bottle matches what’s on the label.
