Thorne - Premier Performance Supplements

B-Complex #12

B-Complex #12 offers a complete vitamin B complex, with added vitamin B-12 and folate. Supplementing with the active forms of the B vitamins is extremely important to everyone, especially individuals who might not be able to convert non-active B vitamins to their active forms in the liver because of compromised liver function, poorly functioning enzymes, digestive disorders, or increasing age.* Vitamin B12 and folate are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, normal methylation and homocysteine metabolism, and DNA synthesis.* Thorne's B-Complex #12 supplies the active form of vitamin B12 – methylcobalamin – as well as the active form of folate – 5-MTHF. The other bioactive forms of the B vitamins in each capsule ensures you will get the most bioavailable vitamin B complex available.* B-Complex #12 is not derived from yeast.Most of the B vitamins, with the exception of vitamin B12, are not stored in the body; consequently, they must be acquired daily from the diet in order to maintain optimal health.*Vitamin B12 deficiency can be manifest with varying degrees of mental changes, such as confusion and irritability.* Certain prescription medications (for seizures, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer) can cause a deficiency of these important vitamins. The incidence of vitamin B12 and/or folate deficiency is high among the elderly. Pregnant women require an increased amount of folate for proper fetal development.* A woman who has a folate deficiency prior to pregnancy can expect that deficiency to be intensified during pregnancy.B Complex #12 includes eight water-soluble B vitamins: thiamin (vitamin B1); riboflavin/riboflavin 5'-phosphate (vitamin B2); niacinamide (vitamin B3); pantothenic acid (vitamin B5); pyridoxine/pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (vitamin B6); methylcobalamin (vitamin B12); 5-MTHF (folate); and biotin; plus choline. Although each B vitamin is chemically distinct, they often work synergistically in various biochemical functions throughout the body – from cellular energy production, to healthy red blood cell formation, to healthy neurological function.*A nutritional supplement that contains these active cofactors has enhanced bioavailability, ensuring the body gets the nutrients it needs.*Suggested Use:Take 1 capsule one 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.INTERACTIONS5-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.

Advanced Digestive Enzymes

Thorne’s Advanced Digestive Enzymes is a comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes that support good digestion.* A digestive enzyme supplement can be beneficial in circumstances when less than optimal amounts of digestive enzymes are being produced in the body – like during the natural aging process or after gallbladder removal.*When to supplement with Thorne’s Advanced Digestive Enzymes: After consuming a meal heavy in fat or red meat For the occasional overindulge When eating foods that commonly cause gas and bloating When less than optimal amounts of digestive enzymes are being produced in the body – like during the natural aging process or after gallbladder removal Benefits of Thorne’s Advanced Digestive Enzymes:  Provides support for occasional indigestion* Minimizes gas and bloating* Helps maintain bowel regularity* Provides benefits after overuse of antacids* Supports individuals who have food sensitivities* Provides support after gallbladder removal* Optimizes the absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients* HCl promotes the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc* Pancreatic enzymes and ox bile promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids*  Features of Thorne’s Advanced Digestive Enzymes: Contains undiluted pepsin and pancreatin Does not contain lactose, which is often used to dilute pepsin and pancreatin Contains ox bile More about digestive enzymes: The proteolytic enzymes hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin are secreted in the stomach, while pancreatin, composed of amylase, lipase, and protease, is secreted from the pancreas, and bile is secreted from the liver and through the gallbladder. These enzymes are all essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. By providing all of them, Advanced Digestive Enzymes offers a complete solution for digestive support. Suggested Use:Take 1-2 capsules with each meal 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.INTERACTIONSAdvanced Digestive Enzymes should not be used concurrent with H2-blocking drugs and proton pump inhibitors because these drugs are intended to block the production of stomach HCl.ADDITIONAL WARNINGSAdvanced Digestive Enzymes is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers.

5-MTHF 5 mg

Folate is a key component in the body’s methylation cycle, a series of biochemical reactions that play a beneficial role in multiple body systems. Heart and brain health, cellular energy production, fat metabolism, liver detoxification, and bone health all rely on a healthy methylation cycle.Approximately 60 percent of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that makes it difficult for their methylation cycle to function optimally. For these individuals, methylated vitamins, like Thorne’s 5-MTHF, provide essential nutritional support.*Benefits of Thorne’s 5-MTHF: Nutritional support for individuals who have an MTHFR gene mutation* Supports production of key neurotransmitters – serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and epinephrine – natural brain chemicals that play an important role in regulating brain function and mood* Promotes cardiovascular, brain, and bone health by maintaining a healthy methylation cycle and a normal homocysteine level* Supports healthy fetal brain and spinal cord development* Promotes blood and nerve cell health* Features of 5-MTHF: Suitable for individuals who have an MTHFR gene mutation* Active, methylated folate (5-MTHF) means your body gets the highest benefit with the least additional work 1 mg 5-MTHF is recommended for support of fetal development during pregnancy* Easy-to-take, small capsules Suggested Use:Take 1 capsule 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.PREGNANCY WARNINGIf pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.INTERACTIONS5-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.

5-Hydroxytryptophan

The serotonin levels in the body are associated with the regulation of sleep, mood, and appetite. A balanced serotonin level has been shown to support restful sleep, good mood, and decreased sugar cravings.* There are several ways to support a healthy serotonin level. L-tryptophan and 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) are both precursors to serotonin. However, supplementation with 5-HTP is preferable, because unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP cannot be shunted into other uses in the body, such as niacin or protein production. 5-HTP is well absorbed by the body and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier where it can increase the synthesis of serotonin in the central nervous system.* And 5-HTP can be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.*5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite the body produces when it initiates the process of converting the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to serotonin. Therefore, supplementation with 5-HTP will bypass the conversion of L-tryptophan into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase – which is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin – and is a conversion that can be inhibited by a number of factors, including stress, insulin resistance, increasing age, and deficiencies of vitamin C, folate, and iron.* 5-HTP is well absorbed when taken orally, with about 70 percent going into the bloodstream.* Intestinal absorption of 5-HTP does not require the presence of a transport molecule, and its absorption is not affected by the presence of other amino acids; therefore, 5-HTP can be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness. 5-HTP has been shown to have a beneficial impact on mood, sleep, carbohydrate cravings, and discomfort associated with fatigue.* Numerous studies of individuals with negative mood status have shown significant positive response with 50-300 mg of 5-HTP daily.*To further facilitate serotonin production, Thorne's 5-HTP formula contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. 5-HTP is commercially produced by extraction from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.Each lot is thoroughly tested for contaminants, including Peak X, and is Peak X free.Suggested Use:Take 1-2 capsules 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.PREGNANCY WARNINGIf pregnant or nursing, do not use this product.INTERACTIONS5-Hydroxytryptophan should be used with caution in an individual currently being treated with an SSRI, MAO inhibitor, or other antidepressant medication.

Zinc Picolinate 30 mg - 60 Servings

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.

Selenium

Selenium is an important trace mineral, and as an "essential" nutrient, your body does not produce selenium on its own. Therefore, it must come from diet or supplementation. Low levels of selenium can have an adverse impact on the heart, joints, eyes, and the immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems.*  Maintaining an optimal selenium level supports normal cell function and differentiation, and healthy heart, connective tissue, eye, liver, and thyroid function.* Selenium is a great mineral to help preserve a healthier body and support healthy living.*  Thorne’s Selenium uses the purest form of selenium – bound to methionine for optimal absorption – without adding unnecessary additives or preservatives. Health benefits include:  Support for Thyroid Health* Selenium supports normal thyroid function in healthy individuals and is important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.* It is also necessary for converting the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) to the active T3 form (triiodothyronine).* Healthy thyroid function benefits energy levels, metabolism, mood, and healthy hair and skin.*  Supporting Healthy Aging* Selenium benefits powerful antioxidant functions in your body by supporting the glutathione and superoxide dismutase systems.* Antioxidants like selenium help reduce oxidative damage in the body and brain caused by excess free radicals from environmental toxins, smoking, alcohol use, and stress, while supporting healthy skin, hair, and cognitive function.*  Promoting Optimal Immune Function* Selenium plays an important role in the body’s immune health.* Its antioxidant properties support a healthy inflammatory response and promote optimal immune function.* Studies have shown that an optimal selenium level is associated with a healthy immune response.*  Heavy metal protection* Selenium supplementation also might exert a protective effect against mercury, cadmium, and other toxic heavy metals.* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by your health professional.

S.A.T.

Each of the three ingredients of Thorne's S.A.T. supports good liver health.* Silymarin (milk thistle) contains important antioxidant constituents that protect liver cells from free radical damage, strengthen liver cell membranes, and help maintain the liver's own built-in antioxidant system.* Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) has a long history of use for hepatic support.* Turmeric has been used traditionally in both Chinese and Ayurvedic systems of medicine to support liver function.* The primary efficacious agent in turmeric is curcumin. S.A.T. offers both silymarin and curcumin complexed to phospholipid compounds (as Siliphos® and Meriva®, respectively) to optimize their absorbability and hepatoprotective effects.*For centuries, Asian cultures have benefited from the healthful effects of curcumin, the orange pigment in turmeric (the primary ingredient in curry). Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits, including support for joint, liver, GI, and cardiovascular function by helping to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response through the optimization of cytokine production.* Cytokines play an important role in the body's natural immune response to inflammation, infection, and trauma. Curcumin's hepatoprotective activity is likely due to its strong antioxidant activity and potential to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response in the liver.*Whether taken as a supplement or obtained from food, curcumin is normally poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Utilizing a unique curcumin formula based on Indena S.p.A.'s proprietary "phytosome" technology, a curcumin extract/phospholipid complex is significantly better absorbed than are stand-alone curcumin extracts.* Because phospholipids are essential components of human cells, phospholipids obtained from food or nutritional supplements are very well absorbed.Three flavonoids comprise silymarin. Of the three, silybin predominates and is the most biologically active. Siliphos phytosome provides the benefits of silybin and phospholipids in one compound.* Silybin is naturally a water-soluble flavonoid, but it is made lipid-friendly by being complexed with phospholipids. The result is that the phytosome preparation achieves better incorporation of this liver-protective flavonoid into liver cell membranes.* Studies indicate this silybin-phospholipid complex provides superior absorption compared to conventional milk thistle products.* 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 Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. 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.

Rhodiola

Rhodiola rosea has been extensively studied in Scandinavian countries and in Russia for over 35 years and is categorized as an adaptogen because of its ability to increase resistance to chemical, biological, and physical stressors.* The adaptogenic properties of Rhodiola are attributed primarily to its ability to influence the levels and activity of neurotransmitters and the amino acids that mimic the effect of opiates, such as beta-endorphins, in the brain.* Because it is an adaptogen, and not an opiate, Rhodiola has the potential to normalize neurotransmitters in the central nervous system without causing drowsiness or fatigue.* It helps maintain normal levels of brain chemicals, but does not further affect them when they are already normal.*Studies have found improved mental performance in physicians on night shift who were supplemented with Rhodiola.* And medical students given Rhodiola during exam periods reported improved concentration and performance, as well as enhanced well-being, improved sleep, and greater mood stability.*Studies from Russia suggest a positive role for Rhodiola in situations characterized by a decline in work performance, poor appetite, sleep disturbances, irritability, and fatigue.* 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.

ResveraCel

Thorne's ResveraCel supports cellular repair, up-regulates the sirtuin proteins, enhances NAD+ production, and benefits the cellular energy production that takes place in the mitochondria – thus supporting the process of healthy aging.*   Adding ResveraCel to your daily supplement regimen can make a positive impact on aging and support good health as you get older.*   Benefits of Thorne’s ResveraCel: Supports healthy cellular aging* Natural activator of the sirtuin proteins, an important class of protein enzymes that act as cellular switches to up-regulate numerous positive functions associated with aging* Helps clean the body of old cells, by assisting with the elimination of aging cells (inactive, senescent)* Supports optimal mitochondrial number, structure, and function* Supports healthy methylation* Enhances cellular energy production* Promotes healthy metabolism as you age* Benefits healthy blood sugar and insulin sensitivity* Supports fat metabolism in the liver*   Take an inside look at the intelligent ingredients in ResveraCel and their beneficial impacts on healthy aging: Nicotinamide Riboside Hydrogen Malate (NR) NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – is an important coenzyme found in every cell that plays an integral role in multiple body functions. Because the body’s natural level of NAD+ begins to decline significantly with age, it can lead to adverse effects of aging and age-related conditions. As a direct precursor to NAD+, NR efficiently stimulates the production of NAD+, which: Promotes multiple aspects of healthy aging* Supports cellular repair processes* Protects against DNA damage and oxidative stress* Promotes exercise efficiency, helping to support health and fitness goals* Helps maintain an optimal state of health* Promotes the number and health of the mitochondria in cells, benefiting mitochondrial metabolism* Supports normal circadian rhythm function*   Resveratrol Resveratrol, a natural substance found in, among other things, red wine, has shown promise in clinical studies by modulating the effects of several age-related conditions, including: Supporting the body's normal inflammatory response and its health-promoting effect on blood vessels* Activating a special class of protein enzymes called sirtuins that act as cellular switches by up-regulating numerous positive functions, including cellular aging, inflammatory response, detoxification, stress resistance, fat and glucose metabolism, circadian rhythm, and mitochondrial biogenesis* The sirtuin proteins support the formation of new mitochondria in the cells, which results in more efficient cellular energy production and possibly increased longevity*   Quercetin Phytosome Senescence is the natural process in which aging cells stop dividing, but do not die. The over-accumulation of senescent cells is associated with biological aging and various age-related disorders. Quercetin is at the forefront of healthy aging because: Quercetin is one of only two nutrients that have been studied for its ability to reduce cellular senescence* Quercetin partners with resveratrol in the quest for healthy aging because it slows the breakdown of resveratrol in the body, allowing resveratrol more time to do its job* Quercetin up-regulates the sirtuin proteins, which are associated with healthy cellular aging and improved weight-related metabolic factors*   Betaine To achieve NR’s optimal benefit, it is important to support the body’s methylation processes. Betaine is a premiere methyl donor because: Betaine (also called trimethylglycine) is a superior nutrient for donating its methyl groups – compounds that help produce healthy DNA, neurotransmitters, and cellular energy* In female athletes, research indicates that betaine promotes lean body composition by helping to reduce body fat without negatively affecting muscle mass* Betaine supports the body’s ability to engage in higher volume exercise – increased repetitions and weight load in male athletes and improved high volume work capacity in female athletes* Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules 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 Phytosome

Quercetin is a type of plant compound called a flavonoid (a fancy name for a plant pigment) that contributes to the natural, vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables like apples, onions, berries, and tea. Flavonoids function as antioxidants, seeking out damaging free radicals and neutralizing them.* Free radicals are caused by the daily oxidative stress placed on our bodies, and they are linked to cellular damage, accelerated aging, and chronic health conditions.  Thorne’s Quercetin Phytosome offers the antioxidant benefits of a flavonoid, as well as its immune-supporting properties and the ability to support a healthy inflammatory response, which provides a range of health-promoting benefits.*  As a natural compound, quercetin is typically characterized by poor absorption into the bloodstream, which is why the quercetin used in Thorne products is provided as a quercetin phytosome. A quercetin phytosome complex enhances the benefits of quercetin by utilizing phytosome technology to optimize the nutrient’s bioavailability. Thorne’s Quercetin Phytosome is up to 20 times more bioavailable than quercetin extract alone, for maximum benefit from a smaller amount.*   Who can benefit from Quercetin Phytosome Anyone looking to support healthy immune function* Individuals seeking support from the effects of seasonal allergies or hives* Those looking to promote recovery and a healthy inflammatory response in the respiratory tract* Biohackers looking to optimize sirtuin function and decrease senescent cells* Anyone wanting to support a healthy aging process*   Immune and Allergy Support Quercetin Phytosome offers a range of benefits for immune health – from general immune support, to nutritional support for seasonal allergy sufferers, to maintenance of a healthy respiratory tract.* Quercetin plays a crucial role in moderating immune function through several different actions, such as:   Supporting various types of immune cells that are necessary for an optimized immune response*  Benefiting allergy sufferers by helping to regulate histamine release* Helping to support a normal inflammatory response, particularly in the respiratory tract*     Unique Benefits for Healthy Aging Cutting-edge research is placing quercetin in the spotlight for healthy aging because of new research that shows quercetin helps reduce cellular senescence.* Senescent cells are malfunctioning cells that have stopped dividing but do not die and remain in the body. Environmental factors, along with regular aging, causes a buildup of senescent cells, which can be associated with biological aging and age-related disorders. What makes Quercetin Phytosome a healthy aging superstar: Quercetin is one of only two nutrients that have been studied to reduce cellular senescence*    Quercetin up-regulates sirtuins (key regulators of cellular health) associated with improved weight-related metabolic factors at the cellular level* The trio of antioxidant, sirtuin, and senescence support helps optimize healthy cellular aging* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule two to three times daily with meals or as recommended by your health professional.

Methylation Stack

The human body is extremely complex, with various biological switches that must function and operate in an ideal fashion. Methylation is the body’s mechanism that turns these biological switches on and off for a host of body systems. When optimal methylation occurs, it has a significant positive impact on many biochemical pathways in the body involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular health, eye health, muscle health, bone health, fertility, and redox balance.  Thorne’s Methylation Bundle contains three supplements that support optimal methylation.*Methyl-Guard Plus®, Thorne’s most popular methylation supplement, contains betaine (also called trimethylglycine), 5-MTHF (active folate), methyl-B12 (active vitamin B12), P5P (active vitamin B6), and R5P (active vitamin B2) to promote healthy methylation for cardiovascular, cognitive, bone health, and more.*D-5,000 provides 5,000 IUs of vitamin D per capsule. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for one of the pathways involved in homocysteine metabolism and methylation.* In addition to supporting healthy bones and muscles, vitamin D supports cardiovascular health and immune function.*Magnesium CitraMate is a combination of magnesium citrate and dimagnesium malate. Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles and lungs.*Suggested Use:Methyl-Guard Plus: Take 1-3 capsules daily. D-5,000: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily. Magnesium CitraMate: Take 1 capsule one to three times daily.Warnings:null

Methyl-Guard Plus

Various conditions and stressors can have an adverse impact on the body’s methylation cycle. Nutrient deficiencies, environmental exposures, and other aspects of a modern lifestyle can cause inefficient methylation. In addition, approximately 60 percent of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that makes it difficult for their methylation cycle to function optimally.   Thorne’s Methyl-Guard Plus features betaine (trimethylgycine), methylated vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and folate (5-MTHF), as well as the active forms of vitamins B2 and B6, for providing efficient nutritional support for the body’s methylation challenges.*   Benefits of Thorne’s Methyl-Guard Plus: Nutritional support for individuals who have MTHFR gene mutations* Enhanced cellular energy production fights fatigue* Helps maintain a healthy homocysteine level in the blood, which supports cardiovascular, cognitive, and bone health* Promotes fat metabolism and lean body composition* Supports neurotransmitter production – natural chemicals that play an important role in nervous system functions, like attention, focus, mood, and sleep* Promotes liver detoxification of many substances, including hormones like estrogen*   Why is methylation important: Methylation is a simple reaction where a small molecule known as a “methyl group” is transferred from one substance to another.

An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

Melaton-5

Thorne offers melatonin in both 3 mg (Melatonin-3) and 5 mg (Melatonin-5) capsules. Melatonin, the primary hormone of the pineal gland, is a powerful "chronobiotic" that helps maintain the body's normal circadian rhythms.* In individuals who have difficulty sleeping or who have altered circadian rhythms because of jet lag or night shift work, melatonin supplementation promotes the resynchronization of this cycle.* Supplementation can also benefit those whose difficulty sleeping is caused by the aging-related decrease in the body's ability to synthesize melatonin from the amino acid tryptophan.* Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting efficacy by decreasing the amount of time needed to fall asleep, by promoting the ability to stay asleep, and by enhancing the depth of sleep.*Melatonin administration from 0.3 mg to 5.0 mg has been shown to exert a sedative-like effect.* When supplemented prior to the onset of the body's normal melatonin secretion, even a low amount of melatonin can promote sleep.* Melatonin apparently enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) via direct interaction with GABA receptors, thus resulting in relaxation.* Thorne's Melaton-3 supplies three mg of melatonin in each capsule, and Melaton-5 supplies 5 mg per capsule and is used when a higher amount of melatonin is desired. Melatonin also has significant antioxidant activity.* Adequate melatonin levels have been reported to be a positive factor in cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, GI, and bone health.* Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule at bedtime or as recommended by your health professional.

Magnesium CitraMate

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 three of every four U.S. adults don’t achieve the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. A magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as poor 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.*•  Magnesium supports healthy blood sugar levels.*•  It promotes bronchial relaxation.*•  An essential mineral for the electrical activity of the heart, it supports healthy heart rate and rhythm.*•  Magnesium helps relax both smooth and skeletal muscle.*•  It supports the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which maintains healthy blood pressure and optimal blood flow.*•  It supports healthy blood sugar by enhancing insulin sensitivity.*•  Magnesium is a cofactor for multiple enzymes involved in cellular energy production.*  Benefits: of Thorne's Magnesium CitraMate:•  An easy-to-take-on-the-go capsule.•  A combination of magnesium citrate and dimagnesium malate – both well-absorbed forms of magnesium – that the body uses to produce cellular energy (the body process called the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle).*•  Citrate has the added benefit of working with magnesium to support healthy kidneys by decreasing the levels of calcium oxalate and phosphate crystals in the urine.*•  Malate pairs well with magnesium to provide benefit for individuals with fatigue, and muscle tenderness.* 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.ADDITIONAL WARNINGS Gas, bloating, or diarrhea may occur in some individuals taking magnesium supplements. This can occur at varying amounts depending on the individual and resolves when the amount is reduced.

Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid that your body doesn’t produce on its own, which means it must come from diet or supplementation. Primary dietary sources of lysine are meat, poultry, fish, dairy, tofu, lentils, and beans. However, because many individuals don’t get enough lysine through diet alone, supplementation of this essential amino acid is advisable. Thorne’s Lysine uses the purest, most absorbable form of this amino acid – without adding unnecessary additives or preservatives. Health benefits of lysine include: •  Wound healing – Lysine is often recommended for supporting the healing of sores and wounds because of its benefits to collagen formation and immune function.* •  Some evidence indicates lysine can be beneficial for maintaining healthy gum and lip tissues.* •  Promotes immune health – lysine provides nutritional support to help your body maintain its natural defenses.* •  Skin health – This amino acid is known to promote collagen formation, which in turn benefits the health and elasticity of skin.* •  Bone Health – lysine promotes calcium absorption, which is needed to maintain strong bones and teeth.* 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.

Liver Cleanse

For proper detoxification, adequate liver function is essential. A number of botanicals have demonstrated their ability to improve the liver's detoxification function, as well as to enhance the liver's output of bile.* Thorne's Liver Cleanse is a unique botanical formula that can synergistically enhance the liver's function.* The botanical ingredients in Liver Cleanse promote the production and flow of bile, which helps to optimize metabolism and the excretion of substances detoxified by the liver.* Liver Cleanse is specifically helpful during a comprehensive detoxification program. (See additional information below for detox program recommendations.)Prior to starting a detoxification program it is important to achieve optimal bowel function.* It is therefore important to include a fiber formula, such as Thorne's FiberMend®, to support the elimination of toxins from the body by binding the toxins released into the intestines from the liver and preventing their reabsorption.*The liver employs a two-phase method of detoxification. In phase I, fat-soluble substances, including toxins, are converted by the cytochrome p450 enzymes into intermediate substances that, while they are now more water-soluble, are not yet ready to be eliminated. Then, in phase II, the intermediate substances created during phase I are attached to glutathione, sulfur, or methyl groups that make them sufficiently water-soluble so as to be excreted from the liver in the bile.*The suggested starting use of Liver Cleanse is to take one capsule in the evening. If additional liver cleansing is indicated, then supplementation can be gradually increased. 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 WARNING If pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive, do not use this product. INTERACTIONS There are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS As with all detoxification regimens, proper intestinal elimination is essential. A person should be having at least one healthy bowel movement daily. An individual who is constipated should not supplement with Liver Cleanse because the toxins released into the bile may be reabsorbed.

Joint Support Nutrients

Joint Support Nutrients combines the preeminent joint support ingredient, glucosamine, with other nutrients and botanicals that also support joint health.* Glucosamine demonstrates significant joint support, as evidenced by numerous clinical studies.* Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) also helps support joint integrity and mobility.* Bromelain promotes healing after trauma.* Thorne's Meriva® ingredient – curcumin bound to phospholipids – and boswellia both exert an antioxidant effect and help maintain a healthy cytokine balance (for a normal inflammatory response) in the joints and muscles.* AR-Encap combine all of these ingredients in a single comprehensive joint support supplement.* Joint Support Nutrients is a comprehensive joint support formula that goes beyond simple glucosamine supplementation.* This formula supplies 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate (suggested use – four capsules twice daily), the amount used in the majority of studies – in combination with other joint-supporting nutrients and botanicals.* Glucosamine provides significant joint support, as evidenced by numerous clinical studies.* Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) – also known as dimethyl sulfone and methyl sulfone – is an organic, sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in a variety of plants and provides additional joint support.* In a study of healthy adult subjects with mild knee soreness, bromelain supplementation resulted in significant improvement with both 200-mg and 400-mg daily use.1* Joint mobility was also improved.* Curcumin, the principal polyphenol in the Asian spice turmeric, exerts an antioxidant effect.* Curcumin phytosome (Meriva®), a compound that contains curcumin and phosphatidylcholine, has significantly better absorption than ordinary curcumin and helps maintain a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.* Boswellia appears to inhibit the activity of the lipoxygenase enzymes, thus promoting a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.* A study of curcumin and boswellia found significant support of normal joint mobility in the group taking the botanical formula.2* References Walker AF, et al. Phytomedicine 2002;9:681-686. Kizhakkedath R. Mol Med Rep 2013;8:1542-1548. Suggested Use: Take 4 capsules one to two times daily or as recommended by your health professional.
