While some companies say they are raising their standards
... at Thorne we set them.
Prior to the introduction of the Thorne line of products in 1984, there were no truly hypoallergenic products available in the marketplace. Products were still produced as excipient-containing tablets or capsules containing potentially allergenic flowing agents and diluents.
Physicians found something remarkable in the Thorne supplements they prescribed. Since they did not contain unnecessary diluents, sensitive patients no longer suffered bloating, nausea, and diarrhea from supplements that contained hidden lactose or other excipients.
The offering of a complete product line of Thorne supplements made without magnesium stearate, palmitic acid, or stearic acid as flowing agents revolutionized the way a supplement’s performance was perceived. Why? By not coating each nutrient particle with a complete layer of saturated fat, nutrients are available to be immediately absorbed by patients who need the nutrients most – the digestive and immune compromised patient. Physicians now realize not only are Thorne Research products best for their “worst case” patients, but they work better for all patients.
