Manufacturing the Right Way We manufacture our own products to ensure full supply chain transparency.

Better ingredients means better potency, absorption, and digestibility - and ultimately better health. We partner only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality, science, and responsibility. Thorne cares deeply about where our ingredients come from. Sourcing Exceptional Ingredients We develop better standards for higher quality ingredients. Thorne’s mineral supplements are designed for optimal absorption.* Read more When the highest standards have been met, Thorne creates higher ones. Thorne’s mineral ingredients are primarily in their chelated form – the mineral is linked to an amino acid or an organic acid via a molecular reaction that provides a predictable, high quality, and hypoallergenic chelate. One of the barriers to mineral absorption is overcoming the natural form the mineral comes in. In addition, various dietary, lifestyle, and health factors can have a negative impact on mineral absorption. By their very nature, minerals are not particularly well absorbed by the human body. Because the mineral content of fruits and vegetables depends on the soil health of the crop it is grown in, even a healthy individual who maintains a good diet can be at risk for a mineral deficiency because of mineral-depleted soil. Taking certain prescription medications can also result in mineral deficiencies. Read more Individuals at high risk for mineral deficiencies include the elderly because of deteriorating digestion, children and teenagers because of poor diet, individuals who have an eating disorder, and anyone suffering from a chronic disease.
