Certain populations are particularly vulnerable to mineral deficiencies. The elderly often face this issue due to declining digestive health, while children and teenagers may suffer from poor dietary habits. Those with eating disorders and patients enduring chronic illnesses are also at risk. Furthermore, the use of specific prescription medications can lead to these deficiencies. Even those who maintain a healthy diet might be susceptible, since the mineral content in fruits and vegetables is significantly influenced by the soil quality in which they are cultivated.
Minerals, by their intrinsic nature, tend to be poorly absorbed by the human body. Additionally, various factors related to diet, lifestyle, and overall health can hinder this absorption process. One major obstacle lies in the natural forms of minerals, which can complicate how well they are integrated by the body. To counteract this, Thorne employs a chelated form of minerals in its supplements—a process wherein the mineral is bonded to an amino acid or organic acid. This molecular reaction results in a high-quality, hypoallergenic chelate that enhances mineral absorption.*
When it comes to quality, Thorne continually raises the bar. Our commitment to sourcing exceptional ingredients is evident in our partnerships with suppliers who prioritize quality, scientific principles, and ethical practices. Superior ingredients translate into enhanced potency, absorption, and digestibility, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
Thorne manages its own manufacturing processes to maintain complete transparency throughout the supply chain. For over 30 years, we have dedicated ourselves to maintaining clean manufacturing standards, ensuring that no ingredients are included that could potentially obstruct absorption. Our final production takes place in the United States, specifically at our Charleston, SC facility, which holds third-party certification.
Quality assurance is paramount at Thorne, which is why we conduct four separate rounds of testing for each of our products. Our investment in two advanced in-house laboratories allows for thorough testing at multiple stages: assessing raw materials, monitoring in-process batches, examining finished products, and ensuring product stability. Most competitors typically conduct only one or two tests.
We prioritize sustainability in our efforts to safeguard the environment. Thorne firmly believes that protecting our planet should never be compromised for profits. Our commitment to environmental responsibility aligns seamlessly with our high standards for product quality.
Thorne’s dedication to integrity and scientifically validated products has earned the trust of countless healthcare professionals, U.S. National Teams, the Mayo Clinic, and families worldwide.
