Scientific Supplements
Thorne Research creates supplements stemming from scientific evidence and undergo rigorous testing to fulfil the promised dossages. The buttons will lead you to the Thorne Shop & my Amazon list, the links down below to the respective products.
Thorne offers a wide variety of supplements ranging from pretty basic vitamins & minerals, to powerful and very specific mixtures of Berberine, NAD+, and Methylation support for example. That said, if you know what you are looking for, they provide the highest quality of ingredients and thought-through formulas. As important as that they provide the dosages that should be in there and ensure so by publicly available test results. Having underdoses, or even worse largely overdoses, supplements is a huge concern nowadays - the site LabDoor tested many common brands and found for example extraordinary high dosages in melatonin supplements compared to the labels. Not cool!
Wide Variety for all Endpoints
While Thorne Research carries a large assortment available in the US, UK & Canada, knowing what to buy is important. The substances I can recommend, for general use and specific endpoints that are not too exotic, are:
General Use - Vitamin D3*, Vitamin K*, Magnesium*, Manganese*, EPA & DHA*, B-Complex*
Sleep - L-Theanine*
Methylation - 5-MTHF*
Muscular - Beta-Alanine*
My Thoughts
I used to buy shitty, cheap supplements to save a buck. That changed nowadays - with me trying to eliminate all unnecessary supplements and ingesting them instead through clever dietary construction.
That lead to me eliminating many supplements. Regarding the necessary remainders, I instead choose high-quality from trusted brands like Thorne.
