Product Description: Individuals at high risk for mineral deficiencies include the elderly due to deteriorating digestion, children and teenagers due to poor diet, those with eating disorders, and anyone suffering from a chronic disease. Certain prescription medications can also result in mineral deficiencies. The mineral content of fruits and vegetables depends on the soil health, so even a healthy individual with a good diet can be at risk for a mineral deficiency due to mineral-depleted soil.
Minerals are not particularly well absorbed by the human body, and various dietary, lifestyle, and health factors can negatively impact mineral absorption. One barrier is the natural form of the mineral. Thorne's mineral ingredients are primarily in their chelated form, where the mineral is linked to an amino acid or an organic acid, providing predictable, high-quality, and hypoallergenic chelates. Thorne's mineral supplements are designed for optimal absorption.
Thorne develops better standards for higher quality ingredients, partnering only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality, science, and responsibility. Better ingredients mean better potency, absorption, and digestibility, and ultimately, better health. Thorne manufactures its own products to ensure full supply chain transparency, investing in clean manufacturing practices and refusing to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. The Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified.
Thorne runs four rounds of testing for each of its products, investing in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories to test raw materials, in-process batches, finished products, and product stability, whereas most competitors test only one or two times. Thorne believes the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain and is committed to protecting the environment and its most valuable resources.
Thorne's commitment to integrity and science-backed products has helped the company earn the trust of thousands of healthcare professionals, U.S. National Teams, the Mayo Clinic, and families around the world.
