About Thorne Research

Since 1984 Thorne Research has earned the unwavering trust of thousands of health-care practitioners worldwide. In many cases, a patient's life actually depends on the quality, purity and integrity of Thorne Research products. Undeniably, Thorne's actions throughout the years have always spoken louder than the rhetoric of many of their competitors. Confidence in Thorne is the single most important reason why practitioners turn to then for their critical nutritional supplement needs.

In this competitive industry the amount of money spent on advertising is tremendous, with all companies claiming they have the best products. Thorne Research's reputation wasn't shaped through clever marketing, but rather, through the unbiased scrutiny and approval of health-care practitioners throughout the world who discovered one important detail - Thorne Research products consistently produced positive results in their patients.

Thorne Research offer an extensive product line of more than 280 items, including a highly successful Veterinary Supplement line.

For over 20 years Thorne Research has set the standard for exceptional formulations, quality, and purity in the nutritional supplement industry. Since their humble beginnings in 1984 in a small, rented space in Tukwila, Washington, with just two employees the philosophy has been the same - provide the purest supplements humanly possible at a reasonable price. In 2007, Thorne's manufacturing plant, warehouse, and shipping facility - in Sandpoint and Dover, Idaho since 1990 - covers 76,000 square feet, and they now employ over 120 people. The business has changed dramatically, but the Thorne Research philosophy has stayed the same - manufacture the finest, purest, highest quality nutritional supplements in the world.

Thorne Research, for over two decades, has been the standard by which companies in the industry are judged for product purity. Practitioners rely on Thorne as the company they trust for their extremely allergic, chemically sensitive, and immune-compromised patients.

For example, instead of purchasing pre-diluted, powdered vitamin K, as other companies do, Thorne performs its own dilution to avoid detrimental ingredients, such as the preservatives or lactose that are found in the commercially available dilutions. Why must vitamin K be diluted? Because it's an oil which resembles molasses in consistency. To ensure proper mixing, it must be made into a powder that flows, and one gram of vitamin K cannot merely be added to 300 kilograms of powder to achieve a homogeneous mix. At Thorne, pure pharmaceutical vitamin K is first mixed with pure mixed tocopherols, and the resultant powder is then blended with hypoallergenic magnesium citrate powder. The resulting powder is then run through a high-speed mill while liquid nitrogen is injected to eliminate heat and stickiness. The final powder is blended again in a large tumble blender and subsequently analyzed. Not only is the final product stable, it is hypoallergenic and can be mixed homogeneously with other powders. In addition, the mixed tocopherols utilized by Thorne are obtained from the largest vitamin E manufacturer in the world. Their production line is literally stopped while drums of the pure vitamin E are pulled off for Thorne, and Thorne alone. Then the rest of their vitamin E production is standardized with soybean oil and sold to all other companies. Just as with vitamin K, Thorne utilizes similar processes for its other raw materials, leaving it to other companies to purchase commercially available raw materials filled with unacceptable ingredients and preservatives.

The bottom line is that Thorne has been, for over two decades, the only hypoallergenic company, with the highest degree of purity. You cannot lie to an allergy patient, and Thorne is the product of choice for the severe allergy and sensitivity patient - and the product line you can trust.
