Thorne - Premier Performance Supplements

Buffered C Powder

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a key antioxidant, protecting cells throughout the body from free radical damage.* It also plays an integral role in the production of cellular energy, in addition to helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, preventing LDL oxidation, promoting wound healing, and maintaining healthy immune function.* Taking a high amount of vitamin C – several grams daily – has been advocated for optimizing both immune function and antioxidant support.* But taking a high amount can be a challenge for individuals who have a sensitive or compromised digestive system. Thorne's Buffered C Powder supplies not just vitamin C, but also calcium, magnesium, and potassium mineral-ascorbates that serve as a buffer, which allows sensitive individuals to take a larger amount of vitamin C with ease and comfort.Evidence for the efficacy of consuming high amounts of ascorbic acid is due in large part to the groundbreaking research conducted in the 1970s and 1980s by the two-time Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, PhD. The lifestyle and health factors that dictate a need for higher vitamin C intake include smoking, alcohol ingestion, stress, diabetes, pregnancy, environmental toxicity, and the use of certain drugs.Suggested Use:Mix 1 scoop with at least 8 ounces of water once daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known interactions or contraindications at publication date.OTHER WARNINGSVitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person. This resolves when the dosage is reduced.

Brain Factors

Busy schedules and non-stop activities leave you feeling depleted and distracted. It’s what many describe as brain fog. Thorne’s newest formula helps clear your head with key nutrients that support focus, attention, and mental function.* Brain Factors combines a unique coffee fruit extract with our exclusive Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) to support optimal levels of BDNF and NAD+ – two substances in the body that are adversely affected by aging – thereby promoting optimal brain health and cognition to help you stay mentally agile.* Key benefits from supporting BDNF and NAD+ with Brain Factors:  Promotes memory and focus by enhancing the communication between brain cells* Promotes attention and learning by supporting growth and development of new brain cells* Supports cognitive health at every age* Nutritional support for dealing with brain fog in older or over-stressed individuals* What is BDNF and why is it important?BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor – is a protein that helps the brain flourish, providing support for brain cells and the nervous system. As we age, the level of BDNF declines, and a low level of BDNF is associated with multiple negative effects of aging. Coffee fruit extract helps maintain a healthy BDNF level, which: Promotes the development and growth of new brain cells* Supports the communication pathways between nerve cells* Supports cognitive functions like learning, memory, and focus* Supports balanced neurotransmitters – natural chemicals that regulate nervous system functions like mood and sleep* Why is NAD+ important for healthy aging?NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – is an important coenzyme found in every cell. NAD+ is crucial for supporting numerous metabolic and cellular functions in the body. However, NAD+ declines significantly with age, as well as from excessive stress, which can lead to reduced vitality. NR promotes a healthy level of NAD+, which in turn: Promotes healthy aging by helping maintain energy production at the cellular level* Protects against oxidative stress and the DNA damage that accompanies it* Supports normal circadian rhythm – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle* Helps increase the number and health of mitochondria in cells, thus benefiting mitochondrial metabolism* Supports cellular repair processes*The added benefits of betaine:Supporting the body’s methylation processes optimize the benefits of NR.* Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine) is a superior methyl donor in the body – each molecule of betaine supplies three methyl groups. By promoting efficient methylation, the betaine in Thorne’s Brain Factors: Supports important cognitive functions in aging adults, like memory and focus* Enhances optimal metabolism of NAD+* Helps maintain balanced levels of neurotransmitters in the brain* Promotes a healthy level of homocysteine in the blood, which supports cognitive and cardiovascular health* Suggested Use:Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Boswellia Phytosome

Boswellia phytosome is boswellia extract that has been chemically bound to phospholipids to increase its absorption. Casperome® – its trade name – has been clinically studied to determine its ability to provide a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines, which are the chemical messengers that control the responses of the immune system. These studies have shown that Boswellia phytosome supports a healthy inflammatory response in the respiratory tract and the GI tract, as well as in the joints, muscles, and tendons.* Boswellia phytosome also helps balance the cerebral inflammatory response to protect brain tissue.*Boswellia phytosome provides superior absorption compared to non-complexed boswellia.* In fact, plasma levels of boswellic acids were 3-7 times higher for the phytosome preparation depending on which boswellic acid was analyzed.* The phytosome preparation also produced tissue levels from 3-35 times higher.* Thorne's Boswellia Phytosome contains a full spectrum of boswellic acids.Suggested Use:Take 1 capsule two times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitionerWarnings:ALLERGYThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Betaine HCL & Pepsin

Indigestion can be caused by many things – including inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl secretion in the stomach does several positive things. It assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin, it renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens, it inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and it encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes.* Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, iron, and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.* Numerous studies have shown that hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach begins to decline with advancing age. Overuse of antacids or acid blockers can also lead to low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which can result in poor protein digestion.* Thorne's Betaine HCl & Pepsin comes from a porcine source.Indigestion affects millions of people every day. For some, it's brought on by eating fatty foods. For others, simple carbohydrates (like bread and pasta) can cause gas and bloating. And for other individuals, spicy foods can cause them grief. Although what we eat greatly influences the frequency and severity of indigestion, this discomfort could also be related to an underlying problem – low hydrochloric acid (HCl) content in the stomach.Situations such as illness, gall bladder removal, overuse of antacids, and normal aging can contribute to insufficient secretion of stomach acid, which can adversely affect digestive enzyme activity and lead to occasional indigestion, gas, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort.* Maldigestion can also lead to digestive problems and poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in vitamin deficiencies (particularly fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K). Food allergies can develop when inadequately digested proteins are absorbed through a leaky gut. As large proteins are absorbed intact, the body might recognize them as foreign and create antibodies against them, resulting in an allergic response to the food. To ensure optimal digestion, an individual should make sure to have adequate HCl content in the stomach.*Suggested Use:Take 1-2 capsules with each meal or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGSThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSBetaine HCL & Pepsin should not be used concurrently with H2-blocking drugs and proton pump inhibitors, because these drugs are intended to block the production of stomach HCl.OTHER WARNINGSBetaine HCL & Pepsin is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers. It is not recommended to remove the Betaine HCL & Pepsin powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.

Bacillus Coagulans

The intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that, when a person is healthy, coexist with us in a beneficial, symbiotic relationship. The beneficial bacteria help digest food, produce vitamins, regulate the metabolism, and facilitate a normal immune response.* Probiotic bacteria promote a healthy intestinal environment by producing lactic acid and by secreting fatty acids that are helpful to the growth of other beneficial microorganisms.* Bacillus coagulans (also known as Lactobacillus sporogenes) is a lactic acid-producing bacteria that is unique in probiotic supplementation.* While this beneficial bacteria is dormant in the bottle, it reverts to a growing bacteria in the intestines.* As a result, it resists being killed by stomach acid; in contrast, many Lactobacillus probiotics lose much of their potency before use and do not survive their transit through the stomach.*Suggested Use:Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplies antioxidant support throughout the body.* ALA is particularly beneficial for nerve, eye, metabolic, and liver health.* An important antioxidant in both water-soluble and fat-soluble tissues, ALA can benefit every cell in the body.*ALA also helps the body recycle other antioxidants, like glutathione, adding to glutathione’s ability to resist the free radical damage that can accumulate with normal aging.*Benefits of Thorne's Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Protects tissues, especially liver and nerve cells, from free radicals* Supports liver detoxification* Promotes mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, and cellular repair* Supports insulin sensitivity* Recycles glutathione – the body’s master antioxidant – as well as other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E* Promotes a balanced inflammatory response in the body* Supports male fertility by protecting sperm cells against oxidative stress* ALA occurs naturally as a 50:50 mixture of the r-lipoic acid and s-lipoic acid isomers Who can benefit from Thorne's Alpha-Lipoic Acid: An individual experiencing challenges to nerve health* An individual wanting to optimize antioxidant activity to protect cells against free radical damage* An athlete seeking support for increased oxidative stress due to intense exercise* A man desiring to support his natural fertility* An individual seeking support for cellular metabolism* Suggested Use:Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Advanced DHA

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are essential for healthy brain development and function throughout all stages of life.* DHA concentrates in the brain and throughout the central nervous system. It particularly accumulates in the brain during fetal development and early childhood. Throughout adulthood it is essential to maintain the level of DHA that was established early in life.Because the body makes very little DHA or EPA naturally, it is essential that these fatty acids be acquired by diet or supplementation. Thorne’s Advanced DHA is a high-DHA/moderate-EPA fish oil supplement. Containing 650 mg DHA and 200 mg EPA per 2-gelcap serving, Advanced DHA is the perfect choice for cognitive support of the aging brain.*  Benefits of Thorne’s Advanced DHA:  Supports brain function throughout life* Provides cognitive benefit for the aging brain* Benefits retinal eye health* Helps maintain healthy nerve structure and function* Essential for neurotransmitter function to maintain a positive mood* Enhances cell membrane fluidity for circulatory support* Supports brain healing after an injury* Provides heart and blood vessel support* Helps maintain a balanced inflammatory response throughout the body* Features of Thorne’s Advanced DHA: Provides 650 mg of DHA and 200 mg of EPA per serving Rosemary, mint, and mixed tocopherols are natural preservatives that help reduce fish burps, making it gentle on the stomach  Easy-to-take gelcaps are smaller than most other omega-3 supplements Provided in the triglyceride form – the way DHA is found naturally in the body Tested for more than 250 environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins, and PCBs  DHA by the numbers:  Approximately 60 percent of a healthy brain is comprised of fat. DHA accounts for more than 90 percent of the fatty acids in the brain. DHA accounts for more than 90 percent of the fatty acids in the retina. Two lobes of the brain – frontal and prefrontal – rely heavily on DHA and are responsible for the ability to learn, problem solve, focus attention, and maintaining a positive mood.* Average daily U.S. adult intake of DHA and EPA is only 90 mg; and only 40 mg in children and teenagers. Most researchers recommend a minimum of 500 mg DHA + EPA daily. Suggested Use:Take 2 gelcaps daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.The omega-3 fatty acids in Advanced DHA are derived from fish and/or shellfish.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Zinc Picolinate 30 mg (180 count)

If there was a super mineral, then zinc would be a contender. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body.* Clinical studies demonstrate zinc supplementation can increase general wellness, and that it has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as reproductive and eye health.* If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can't obtain the nutrient’s benefits. Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc:  Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate.  Zinc Picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan. Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc that is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine – creating a true amino acid chelate. Benefits of Thorne’s Zinc supplement suite: Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to our immune response* Essential for activation of a certain group of white blood cells – called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) – that moderate the body’s inflammatory response during times of immune stress* Studies have found that the antioxidant-promoting properties of zinc help mitigate oxidative stress – a process that damages cells and tissues and can lead to several chronic health conditions* Promotes healthy skin and eyes* Needed to support the body's normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONS Zinc can inhibit the absorption of copper. Long-term zinc supplementation should include copper in a 15:1 (Zn:Cu) ratio.

Women's Multi 50+

An excellent multi-vitamin/mineral nutritional supplement is good "dietary insurance" and a small investment to make to ensure you are getting all the essential nutrients daily, particularly if you aren't eating a balanced diet.  Benefits of Women’s Multi 50+ Includes optimal amounts of two key minerals – calcium and magnesium – in highly absorbable chelate form Vitamin A promotes eye health, healthy skin, and immune function* Vitamins C and E provide antioxidant support for cellular protection* Vitamin D promotes strong bones and healthy immune function* B vitamins, including tissue-ready forms of folate and B12, support heart, blood vessel, and nerve health* Zinc bisglycinate, a highly absorbable form of zinc, benefits immune function and skin health* Chromium supports a healthy blood sugar level* No copper or iron in either formula We believe a good multiple-vitamin and mineral formula is the starting point for every individual’s supplementation needs and that it should contain all the essential nutrients. We also believe that by using the purest, most bioavailable raw materials – without adding any unnecessary additives or preservatives – absorption and utilization of the nutrients will be maximized and health outcomes will be optimized. Do You Really Need to Take a Multi-Vitamin? Here’s what you should know. Suggested Use: Take 3-6 capsules daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. PREGNANCY WARNING If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

Whey Protein Isolate - Vanilla

Many trainers and dieticians recommend consuming protein with every meal. This is particularly important for individuals needing support for a workout routine, or those looking to maintain a healthy weight.   Protein is essential for muscle repair and maintenance, and whey protein provides a complete amino acid profile, optimized for absorption and assimilation.* Supplementing the diet with a high-quality whey protein can make reaching your macro goals easier.Benefits of Whey Protein Isolate: Helps maintain healthy muscle mass* Supports muscle repair after injury or training* Benefits a healthy weight* Aids in the digestion and assimilation of protein with added bromelain and papain* Balanced amino acids profile, including branched-chain amino acids   Who can benefit: Teens who need additional nutritional support for a growing body* Aging individuals who need additional protein support to help maintain muscle mass and a healthy weight* Athletes and exercise enthusiasts looking to support lean muscle mass* Anyone wanting to support healthy weight management*   Features of Thorne’s Whey Protein Isolate: 21 grams of protein per serving 2.3 grams of leucine per serving – the optimal amount for muscle repair and maintenance* Low in calories, sugar, and fat Whey protein isolate form for optimal absorption Easy to digest Flavors and sweeteners derived from natural sources Tastes great NSF Certified for Sport®   How to use Whey Protein Isolate: Shake with water or preferred beverage for a quick protein fix Blend into your favorite smoothie with fresh fruit or coffee Stir into oatmeal for a high fiber, protein rich breakfast Add to your favorite recipes at home, like pancakes, muffins, or chia pudding for an easy protein boost   Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® supplement is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.

Weight Management Stack

To help maintain weight goals, Thorne’s Weight Management Bundle contains three supplements with evidence-based ingredients that are effective for reducing hunger cravings, promoting energy, and supporting metabolism and insulin sensitivity.*Metabolic Health contains curcumin and bergamot phytosomes which help to maintain a happy weight by supporting fat metabolism as well as support optimal cholesterol and blood sugar levels.*Super EPA contains two omega-3 fatty acids – EPA and DHA. Omega-3s help maintain a normal inflammatory response throughout the body, including in the adipocytes (fat cells).* A skewed inflammatory response in the fat cells can contribute to insulin resistance and obesity.* Omega-3 fatty acids also support heart and brain health and promote a healthy insulin response.* These two fatty acids support good circulation by promoting healthy blood vessels, enhancing blood flow by optimizing vascular endothelial function, and maintaining already normal triglyceride and cholesterol levels.*FloraMend Prime Probiotic® contains three stable probiotic strains that promote overall digestive health and immune function.* Its three probiotic strains resist destruction by stomach acid and need no refrigeration. Mounting evidence supports the positive influence of the gut microbiome in promoting weight management goals. What is the microbiome? It's the bacteria and other organisms that inhabit the gut, plus the genetic material associated with this bacteria. Animal and human studies demonstrate that lean individuals have different and more diverse types of bacteria than obese individuals. A human study on Lactobacillus gasseri (the predominant species in FloraMend) found an average 4.6-percent reduction in visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue with accompanying positive effects on body weight, waist circumference, and body mass index.*Protocol for Thorne Weight Management Program (note: this may vary slightly from the suggested use on the product label.) Metabolic Health: Take 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 capsules with dinnerFloraMend Prime Probiotic: 1 capsule daily Super EPA: 2 gelcaps daily with a meal Thorne Weight Management Program GuideSuggested Use:Metabolic Health: Take 2 capsules two times daily . Super EPA: Take 1 gelcap two to three times daily. FloraMend Prime Probiotic: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONSCurcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

Vitamin D + K2 Liquid

Vitamin D3 and K2 work together to benefit bone health, cardiovascular support, and healthy immune function.* Maintaining an optimal level of vitamin D throughout all stages of life helps maintain strong bones and healthy immune function.* Adding vitamin K2 helps move calcium to the bones to protect soft tissues, such as the arteries and kidneys, from calcification.* Combining vitamins D3 and K2 provides greater benefit together than each offers separately.   Benefits of Thorne’s Vitamin D + K2:  Supports a healthy heart and blood circulation* Promotes bone health and calcium absorption* Benefits immune function* The combination provides advanced bone health support*   Features of Vitamin D + K2:  The vitamin K2 in this formula is MK-4, the most clinically studied form of vitamin K Vitamin D, in its D3 form, is a more potent and better absorbed form than its D2 form The self-dispensing top provides an accurate, safe, and individualized dose by metering individual drops Thorne's Vitamin D + K2 Liquid is in medium chain triglyceride oil and preserved with mixed tocopherols Suggested Use: Take 2 drops one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional. Invert bottle to dispense individual drops. May be added to food or mixed in beverages. Do not refrigerate. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONS As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.

Vitamin C with Flavonoids

Although you might rely on vitamin C only during the winter months, this vitamin can support your overall health every day. Vitamin C has many roles in your body and is linked to impressive health benefits, including immune function, collagen formation, and supporting liver detoxification.* Because vitamin C is a vitamin that the body can’t produce, it must be obtained from the diet or by supplementation. Thorne’s Vitamin C with Flavonoids contains ascorbic acid and naturally occurring citrus flavonoids. The flavonoids provide greater antioxidant capacity than Vitamin C does alone, thus better scavenging free radicals within the body.* Benefits of Vitamin C with Flavonoids: •   Promotes optimal immune function* •   Important in collagen production, which enhances skin, nail, and hair health* •   Supports healthy tissue and cartilage formation, a benefit during wound healing and injury repair* •   Plays a role in phase I liver detoxification, plus its antioxidant properties help protect against the toxic effects of heavy metals* •   Helps increase glutathione, a potent antioxidant necessary for supporting phase II liver detoxification* The benefits of collagen production, its antioxidant status, and immune support make vitamin C an important nutrient for surgery patients to support wound healing* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONS There are no known interactions or contraindications at publication date. OTHER WARNINGS Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person. This resolves when the dosage is reduced.

Vitamin B12

Many vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin as the active ingredient, which the liver must first "detoxify" and modify to form methylcobalamin – an active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for processes involved in cardiac function, sleep, blood cell formation, and nerve function.* Thorne's Vitamin B12, as Methylcobalamin, provides vitamin B12 in its already biologically active and tissue-ready form.* Clinical evidence indicates that the body uses methylcobalamin more efficiently than cyanocobalamin.* Methylcoblamin helps maintain normal circadian rhythms to promote normal sleep and supports healthy methylation processes in the body.* Methylcobalamin is essential for the body to recycle homocysteine and to form the internal methyl donors involved in cardiovascular function, sleep, blood cell formation, and nerve function.* Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin; however, the liver must first "detoxify" the cyanide molecule in cyanocobalamin and then attach a methyl group to form methylcobalamin. Although research shows the quantity of cobalamin detected following an oral dose of methylcobalamin is similar to the amount following administration of cyanocobalamin, significantly more cobalamin accumulates in liver tissue following administration of methylcobalamin. And the urinary excretion of methylcobalamin is about one-third that of a similar dose of cyanocobalamin, indicating substantially greater tissue retention of the former.* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONS There are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Training Stack - Berry

Giving as much thought to your nutrition both before and after exercise, as you do to planning and packing your gear, scheduling your training, and recording your results, will make a noticeable difference in your day-to-day activity. Although most athletes tend to focus their attention on their physical exertion during a workout, a majority of the factors to achieve a successful training session occurs before and after the workout.Beta Alanine-SR is required for the body to make carnosine, which is responsible for buffering the hydrogen ions created during energy production in the muscles.* Carnosine helps maintain normal acidity levels in the muscles, because acidity is a major contributor to muscle fatigue. Supplementing with beta alanine supports muscle health, muscle work capacity, and perceived time-to-exhaustion in both anaerobic exercise that lasts 1-4 minutes and aerobic exercise that lasts longer than four minutes.* Beta alanine has also been shown to benefit athletic performance.* For example, studies have shown improvements in fatigue in cyclists, in 2,000-meter rowing time trials, in strength in college football athletes, and in sprint performance in endurance cyclists.* Two tablets of Thorne’s Beta-Alanine-SR contain 1.6 grams of sustained-release beta-alanine (as CarnoSyn®).Creatine plays an important role in the production of cellular energy because it helps the body make ATP, the molecule needed by all of the body’s cells and the one that has been shown to support increased work capacity and power output of muscle while also promoting physical endurance and lean body mass gain.* Each serving of Thorne’s Creatine contains 5 grams of creatine monohydrate.Amino Complex contains a high amount of branched-chain amino acids in a formula that has been validated through numerous clinical trials for promoting lean muscle mass and muscle strength.* The branched-chain amino acids in Amino Complex promote mitochondrial biogenesis, which provides energy to the cells.* Amino acid supplementation has also been shown to decrease fat synthesis and promote energy production.* Thorne’s Amino Complex is available in either lemon or berry flavor and provides 7.6 grams of branched-chain and essential amino acids per serving.Because an athlete needs to know that his or her nutritional supplements are trustworthy and quality compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with the claims on its product label and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agents, and masking agents.Suggested Use:Beta Alanine-SR Take two tablets 1-2 times daily, or as recommended by a health-care or performance professional.Creatine Mix 1 level scoop with at least 8 ounces of water, juice, or preferred beverage once daily, or as recommended by a health-care or performance professional. Can be used 30-90 minutes before or after exercise.Amino Complex Mix 1 scoop with at least 6 ounces of water one to two times daily, or as recommended by a health-care or performance professional.Warnings:null

Thyroid Health Stack

The thyroid gland affects virtually every organ in the body. Thyroid hormones regulate the speed with which our cells work – everything from how fast our heart beats to how quickly our intestines process food. An imbalance of the thyroid hormones can have an adverse impact on the body. Thorne’s Thyroid Health Bundle contains three supplements that help maintain healthy thyroid function.*Thyrocsin contains key ingredients for thyroid support, including iodine, which is necessary for formation of the T4 hormone, and L-tyrosine, which is a necessary component of both T4 and T3 formation.* Each of the thyroid hormones has important functions in the body; for example, T4 supports cardiac output, heart rate, respiratory rate, and basal metabolic rate – a low basal metabolic rate can cause a person to be fatigued, chilly, and have trouble losing weight. Thorne’s Thyrocsin provides nutritional support for healthy thyroid function, for the conversion of T4 to T3, and for normal cortisol levels.* This non-glandular thyroid-support formula is available only from Thorne.Curcumin Phytosome provides support for joint stiffness, muscle soreness, and a healthy inflammatory response* Thorne's Curcumin Phytosome is the most clinically-studied curcumin on the market, helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response in the joints, muscles, GI tract, liver, brain, and nerves*Super EPA is a premier fish oil supplement that contains the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA to help maintain healthy heart, brain, and neurological function, while supporting a normal inflammatory response throughout the body, including the thyroid.* Evidence also suggests that omega-3 fatty acids improve the uptake of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.*Suggested Use:Thyrocsin: Take 2 capsules two times daily. Curcumin Phytosome: Take 1-2 capsules two times daily. Super EPA: Take 1 gelcap two to three times daily.Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Thyrocsin contains Iodine. Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. The omega-3 fatty acids in Super EPA are derived from fish. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONS Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies.

Siliphos

Milk thistle contains multiple constituents with strong antioxidant activity that can protect liver cells from free radical damage, strengthen liver cell membranes, and help maintain the liver's built-in antioxidant system – glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD).* In numerous studies, the milk thistle constituent silybin – the most active flavonoid in milk thistle – has been utilized to prevent liver cell damage from carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, acetaminophen, mushroom toxins, and benzopyrene from automobile exhaust.* Thorne's Siliphos provides the benefits of silybin and phosphatidylcholine in one well-absorbed compound.* These ingredients likely provide the synergistic benefit of sparing liver cells from degradation.* Studies indicate this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex provides superior absorption compared to conventional milk thistle products.*Silybin, normally a water-soluble flavonoid, is converted into a lipid-soluble compound by complexing it with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, to make a phytosome. The phytosome preparation allows for better absorption of this liver-protective flavonoid into liver cell membranes.*Silymarin has been shown to help maintain the liver's normal inflammatory response to liver-toxic compounds.* Of the three flavonoids that comprise silymarin, silybin predominates and is the most biologically active of the three.Phosphatidylcholine is not merely a passive "carrier" for the active flavonoid silybin, but is itself an active ingredient with documented efficacy for promoting liver health.* Silybin protects the liver because of its significant antioxidant activity, while phosphatidylcholine helps repair and replace liver cell membranes.* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONS There are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Quercetin Complex

Quercetin, one of the two primary ingredients in Thorne's Quercetin Complex, stabilizes the body's mast cells, which store and release histamine, so it supports individuals who suffer from allergies.* Quercetin appears to have many other beneficial effects on human health, including protection of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system, where it scavenges free radicals and inhibits oxidation of LDL cholesterol.* Thorne's Quercetin Complex combines quercetin phytosome (quercetin bound to sunflower-sourced phospholipids, which increases the body's ability to absorb the quercetin) and bromelain, a compound of protein-digesting enzymes derived from the pineapple plant.* Bromelain also has immune-enhancing properties because it contains constituents that help maintain a healthy cytokine balance.* Bromelain helps reduce bruising and swelling after an injury or surgery.* A number of quercetin's positive effects appear to be due to its antioxidant activity.* By itself, and paired with vitamin C, quercetin can reduce the incidence of oxidative damage to the skin and nerves caused by the natural depletion of glutathione.* The advantage of quercetin phytosome is its advanced phytosome technology. Phytosome complexes are created by a patented process that binds a botanical extract to a phospholipid, which are key components of every cell membrane. Bromelain, which is a mixture of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes from the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus), has been shown to promote healing and reduce temporary and minor swelling and bruising following an injury or a surgical procedure – including dental surgery.* One study of patients with bone fractures found bromelain decreased swelling.* Bromelain exerts some of its positive effects because of its significant proteolytic activity.* Plastic surgeons have shown interest in bromelain because of its ability to increase the resorption rate of hematomas following surgery.* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule three times daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONS Because bromelain has fibrinolytic effects that may potentially inhibit blood clotting, Quercetin Complex should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS It is not recommended to remove the Quercetin Complex powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.

Prenatal DHA

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential for the development of a healthy brain, as well as nerves and eyes.* DHA is especially important for healthy fetal and infant development, accumulating in a baby’s developing brain primarily during the third trimester of pregnancy through the first two years of life.* DHA supports a healthy pregnancy as well.* Although the body can make some DHA, its conversion rate is low, so most DHA needs to be consumed in the diet. The primary dietary sources of DHA – fatty, cold-water fish – aren’t heavily consumed in a western diet, so an omega-3 nutritional supplement can help a mother reach an optimal DHA level.     Benefits of Thorne’s Prenatal DHA: Provides nutritional support for a healthy pregnancy* Supports memory and mood – before, during, and after pregnancy* Promotes normal fetal brain and nervous system development* Supports metabolism by helping to maintain a healthy insulin response* Promotes DHA levels in breast milk to support baby’s growth and development* Supports immune function* Helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response* Promotes healthy heart function*   Features of Thorne’s Prenatal DHA: Provides 650 mg of DHA and 200 mg of EPA per serving Rosemary, mint, and mixed tocopherols help reduce fish burps and are gentle on the stomach for mothers who experience pregnancy-related nausea* The easy-to-take gelcaps are smaller than most omega-3 supplements Tested for more than 250 environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins, and PCBs DHA by the numbers:  Approximately 60 percent of a healthy brain is comprised of fat. DHA accounts for more than 90 percent of the fatty acids in the brain. DHA accounts for more than 90 percent of the fatty acids in the retina. Two lobes of the brain – frontal and prefrontal – rely heavily on DHA and are responsible for the ability to learn, problem solve, focus attention, and maintaining a positive mood.* Average daily U.S. adult intake of DHA and EPA is only 90 mg; and only 40 mg in children and teenagers. Most researchers recommend a minimum of 500 mg DHA + EPA daily. Suggested Use: Take 2 gelcaps daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.The omega-3 fatty acids in Prenatal DHA are derived from fish and/or shellfish.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Potassium Citrate

Potassium plays a vital role in the proper functioning of skeletal muscle and the heart muscle.* It is essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contractility, and maintaining normal blood pressure, energy production, and nucleic acid synthesis.* Epidemiological evidence suggests that diets high in potassium provide numerous benefits to cardiovascular health.* A chronic potassium deficiency can result in various adverse health conditions, including prolonged feelings of weakness and fatigue. Thorne's Potassium Citrate promotes cardiovascular health, and also supports kidney and lower urinary tract health by inhibiting precipitates in the urine because of its alkalizing effect.* Potassium Citrate's benefit of alkalizing the urine also inhibits the growth of undesirable bacteria in the urinary tract.* Another reason to facilitate an alkaline urine is that certain botanical extracts, like berberine, that support a healthy urinary tract work most effectively in alkaline urine.* Berberine is found in Berbercap and Berberine-500 and promotes urinary tract health.* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONS ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) can produce potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Potassium supplementation concurrently with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, etc.) should be undertaken with caution to prevent excessive potassium levels in the body.

In vitro research reveals curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a non-flushing form of vitamin B3. Niacinamide has multiple positive functions in the body, including supporting restful sleep and healthy joint and skin.* It also acts as an antioxidant, inhibiting free radical formation, and it has been shown to promote the regeneration of beta cells in the pancreas.* Niacinamide has been found to stimulate neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, without binding to the receptor sites, which creates a calming, sedative-like effect.* High amounts of niacinamide have been documented as being beneficial in protecting joint cartilage cells.* Niacinamide has also been used in support of several dermatological conditions.* Niacinamide is not derived from yeast. Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

Magnesium Bisglycinate

The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.* According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.* Why is magnesium important?•  Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy blood sugar*•  Promotes bronchial relaxation*•  It’s an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports healthy heart rate and rhythm*•  Helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle*•  Promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which supports normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow*•  Supports insulin sensitivity for healthy blood sugar*•  Is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production* Benefits of Thorne’s Magnesium Bisglycinate:•  Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great-tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice, or with another powdered supplement.•  The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate; however, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bisglycinate” (bis = two). The bisglycinate form has superior absorption because of increased solubility.*•  Decreased laxative effect compared to other magnesium formulations because the bisglycinate form is a true chelate that completely envelopes the magnesium.*•  Glycine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and stress reduction in the body – making Magnesium Bisglycinate a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep.* Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations. Suggested Use: Mix 1 scoop with at least 8 ounces of water daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

L-Glutamine Powder

Thorne's L-Glutamine Powder is NSF Certified for Sport®. Evidence suggests supplemental L-glutamine benefits gastrointestinal health, supports wound healing, maintains immune health, and helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise.* L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream. It is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is its greatest user. Various stress factors – such as trauma, infection, malnutrition, chemotherapy, injury, and high-level athletic training – can adversely affect absorption in the small intestine, leading to food allergies.  Skeletal muscles contain the greatest intracellular concentration of L-glutamine. But that concentration can be adversely affected by various insults, including injury, infection, chronic stress, malnutrition, and glucocorticoid use. Intense exercise lowers blood levels of glutamine, which can remain low if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery. Research indicates L-glutamine supplementation can offset these conditions.* Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents. Suggested Use: Mix 1 scoop with at least 8 ounces of water, juice, or preferred beverage daily or as recommended by your health professional. Warnings: ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.INTERACTIONS There are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

L-Glutamine

L-glutamine, the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream, is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is the greatest user of glutamine. Many factors can play a part in the depletion of glutamine, such as food allergies, and various bodily insults like injury, infection, chronic stress, and being malnourished. Intense exercise can also adversely lower the blood level of glutamine and, if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery, then the level can remain low.   What causes glutamine depletion:  Prolonged exhaustive exercise Extended periods of physical stress Trauma or infection Being malnourished Chemotherapy   Benefits of Thorne’s L-Glutamine:  Benefits gastrointestinal health* Improves gut permeability and optimal gut barrier function* Supports wound healing* Helps maintain immune health* Restores plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise* Helps maintain a healthy stomach and intestinal lining*   Who can benefit:  Athletes or individuals who undergo intensive athletic training* Individuals healing from surgery or injury* Anyone seeking support for a healthy GI lining and gut permeability* Individuals with food allergies* Helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise*   Looking for advanced glutamine support and NSF Certified for Sport® product?

Joint Support Stack

The health of your joints is often the key to an active and healthy lifestyle. Being proactive and taking care of your joints can significantly improve performance, lengthen how long you remain active at the level you are used to, and help prevent training-related and performance-related injuries. Glucosamine & Chondroitin provides significant benefit for musculoskeletal support.* Chondroitin sulfates are necessary for the formation of important components of joint cartilage.* These nutrients – glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate – support joint structures.* The combination of glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate is believed to protect and support joint surfaces more effectively than glucosamine sulfate alone.* Each capsule contains 250 mg of chondroitin sulfate and 500 mg of glucosamine sulfate.Curcumin Phytosome helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body and provides relief from injuries and overuse of muscles and joints.* Curcumin is normally poorly absorbed in the bloodstream, whether it comes from food or a nutritional supplement. Curcumin phytosome, the most clinically studied curcumin on the market, is a unique curcumin extract that has significantly better absorption than other curcumin extracts.* In fact, a human study demonstrated 29-times greater absorption than from ordinary curcumin.* It contains 500 mg of curcumin phytosome per capsule.Super EPA is a premier fish oil supplement that contains the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA to help maintain healthy heart, brain, and neurological function, while supporting the normal inflammatory response in muscles and joints.* Each gelcap of Super EPA contains 425 mg of EPA and 270 mg of DHA.Suggested Use:Glucosamine & Chondroitin: Take 1 capsule three times daily. Meriva 500-SF: Take 1-2 capsules two times daily. Super EPA: Take 1 gelcap two to three times daily.Warnings:null

Healthy Lipids Stack

Cholesterol – which is part lipid and part protein – is not all bad. In fact, cholesterol has many important functions in the body and is necessary for, among other things, the formation of the hormones testosterone and estrogen, the formation of vitamin D, and the formation of other important compounds necessary for good health. The key to having healthy lipid levels, including cholesterol – as with most things in life – is balance.Choleast-900 is a red yeast rice formula that provides naturally occurring monacolins, phytosterols, and isoflavones that help maintain healthy lipid levels.* Red yeast rice also promotes healthy lipid particle size and number.* Numerous studies conducted in China and the United States support the use of red yeast rice for helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.*Berberine is a constituent of several plants, including Berberis aristata (Indian barberry). Recent studies show this impressive alkaloid has many beneficial actions on metabolic activities, including maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.* In addition, berberine has been shown in numerous clinical studies to support healthy blood sugar levels.*Curcumin Phytosome  is an antioxidant that helps maintain a normal inflammatory response in the body’s blood vessels.* This is important because not having a normal inflammatory response in the blood vessels has been shown to have an adverse impact on cardiovascular health.* Meriva also provides antioxidant support that helps offset LDL oxidation.* As the most clinically studied form of curcumin on the market, curcumin in the form of Meriva has demonstrated 29-times better absorption than ordinary curcumin.*Suggested Use:Choleast-900: Take as recommended by your health professional. Berberine: Take 1-2 capsules two times daily. Curcumin Phytosome: Take 1-2 capsules two times daily.Warnings:null

Glutathione-SR

Thorne's Glutathione is NSF Certified for Sport®. It occurs naturally in cells and is a cofactor in dozens of enzymatic reactions involved in detoxification.* As an antioxidant, glutathione directly quenches several reactive oxygen species (free radicals).* The body's benefits from maintaining a normal level of glutathione include support for liver function, pulmonary function, immune function, bowel health, carbohydrate metabolism, cardiovascular health, cognitive health, and eye health.* Glutathione-SR is a breakthrough in glutathione supplementation because its sustained-release formula protects it from stomach acid and digestive enzymes, allowing for a slower release and a more steady level in the bloodstream of this essential nutrient.* Glutathione is the most abundant anti-oxidant. Since training and competition create more oxidative stress and damage, athletes have a higher need for antioxidants. Exercise longer than 60-90 minutes significantly decreases glutathione levels in the blood, so supplementing is beneficial for endurance and ultra endurance events. The liver is the body's largest reservoir for glutathione. A potent endogenous antioxidant, glutathione is essential for the liver's phase I and phase II detoxification.* However, negative lifestyle issues and adverse conditions that affect liver health can result in a decreased amount of glutathione in the liver. Maintaining an optimal level of glutathione appears to be important for supporting cognitive function, especially during aging.* The normal process of aging is associated with a decrease in glutathione activity, which can result in increased oxidative activity.* Less than an optimum level of glutathione is observed in individuals experiencing a decline in cognitive function.* Conversely, individuals who live to 100 tend to have higher glutathione activity.* Although a common mistaken belief is that glutathione is not well absorbed when it's taken orally, significant data confirms that glutathione is efficiently absorbed across the intestinal epithelium by a specific uptake system.* Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents. Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

HydroPeach, derived from Japanese peaches, supplies ceramides – lipid molecules that help maintain the water balance of the skin. Natural ceramides comprise more than half of the outer layers of the skin, but the skin rapidly loses its ceramide content as a person ages. HydroPeach has been clinically studied to increase the skin’s natural production of ceramides.*Benefits of HydroPeach: Promotes smooth and vibrant skin* Supports skin resilience and tone* Enhances the hydration of dry, rough, scaly skin in as soon as 10 days* Promotes a protective outer layer of the skin to act as a barrier against UV rays, bacteria, and pollutants* Enhances the skin’s permeability, allowing more moisture to be absorbed* Studies indicate improved skin texture can be noticeable in three weeks* Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)As we age, our production of NAD+, the cornerstone for maintaining optimal cellular repair, begins to decline, which can contribute to visible signs of aging. As a direct precursor to NAD+, NR efficiently stimulates NAD+ production, which in turn promotes various aspects of healthy aging, efficient mitochondrial metabolism, and cellular protection and repair.* To optimize the benefit from NR, it is important to support the process of methylation. Therefore, betaine (trimethylglycine) a premiere methyl donor, is added, because it supports healthy methylation throughout the body.* Betaine also improves metabolism in the mitochondria, which enhances cellular energy production.*Benefits of NR: Promotes multiple aspects of healthy aging* Supports cellular repair processes* Protects against DNA damage and oxidative stress*Suggested Use:Mix 1 scoop with at least 8-12 ounces of water daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.

Choleast-900

Maintaining an optimal LDL cholesterol level is an important component of maintaining good cardiovascular health.* Numerous studies in China and the United States have concluded that preparations of red yeast rice help to maintain blood cholesterol levels already in the normal range.* Choleast-900 contains Monascus purpureus, a red-pigmented yeast grown on rice. It also contains consistent amounts of the naturally-occurring monacolins found in red yeast rice– without standardization or fortification – along with the phytosterols beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, as well as isoflavones and trace minerals, all of which can contribute to good cardiovascular health.* With 50-percent more red yeast rice than our Choleast product, Choleast-900 requires fewer capsules for easier supplementation.Natural management of healthy cholesterol levels should involve dietary and lifestyle modifications, including a healthy, whole foods diet (one size does not fit all) and aerobic exercise. The same enzymes involved in the synthesis of cholesterol are also involved in the synthesis of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Thus, to help maintain normal levels of CoQ10, we recommend also supplementing daily with Q-Best 100.*Red yeast rice is obtained by a well-known process that ferments rice. One of the natural by-products of the rice fermentation process is citrinin, which is a mycotoxin. Although the sophisticated fermentation process used by our supplier results in a very low amount of citrinin being produced as a by-product, because mycotoxins can cause inflammation and other adverse effects in the body, we provide our practitioner-customers and their patients with the assurance that Thorne's two red yeast rice products contain only a minimal, yet acceptable amount of citrinin.Suggested Use:Take as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.Choleast-900 contains an ingredient derived from soy.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive, do not use this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.ADDITIONAL WARNINGSAdverse events of gastritis, abdominal discomfort, elevated liver enzymes, and muscle pain have been reported following the use of red yeast rice-containing products.This product may cause a temporary and harmless red coloring of the stool.

Beta Alanine-SR

Beta alanine, an amino acid, plays an integral role in muscle health and endurance.* Beta alanine enables the body to produce carnosine, which is stored in muscle. Carnosine buffers the pH of muscle tissue so it produces energy efficiently without excessive lactic acid buildup, which can cause fatigue and soreness.*Beta alanine is not just for athletes. Beta alanine muscle content also decreases with age. This, combined with powerful antioxidant support, makes Beta Alanine-SR a great option for aging individuals who wish to support muscle health and longevity.*The best food sources of beta alanine are animal protein like meat and fish. Because the best food sources of beta alanine are animal protein, like meat and fish, individuals who are vegetarian or follow a mostly plant-based diet have less carnosine in their muscles compared to individuals who eat more animal protein.Benefits of Thorne's Beta Alanine-SR: Train harder and longer by supporting muscle health and output* Optimize training by increasing perceived time-to-exhaustion* Clinically studied for benefiting athletic performance* Supports muscle pH to resist fatigue and delayed onset muscle soreness* Antioxidant effect protects tissues from oxidative stress and free radical damage* Who can benefit from Thorne's Beta Alanine-SR: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts wanting to optimize their training* Aging individuals wanting to optimize and maintain muscle mass* Individuals wanting to limit animal protein in their diet Features of Thorne’s Beta Alanine-SR: Formulated for optimal absorption PureTab® sustained-release delivery system for the benefits without the tingle NSF Certified for Sport® Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.Suggested Use:Take 2 tablets one to two times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.Warnings:ALLERGY WARNINGThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.PREGNANCYIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONSThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.
