THORNE RESEARCH Selenium (formerly Selenomethionine)

$11.99

$11.99 $11.99

Selenium is an essential mineral that supports heart health, thyroid function, and optimal immune function. As a mineral cofactor, Selenium supports the body’s natural antioxidant systems, which protects against oxidative damage and supports healthy aging for your body and mind. Selenium is an important trace mineral, and as an "essential" nutrient, your body does not produce selenium on its own. Therefore, it must come from diet or supplementation. Low levels of selenium can have an adverse impact on the heart, joints, eyes, and the immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Maintaining an optimal selenium level supports normal cell function and differentiation, and healthy heart, connective tissue, eye, liver, and thyroid function. Selenium is a great mineral to help preserve a healthier body and support healthy living. Thorne’s Selenium uses the purest form of selenium – bound to methionine for optimal absorption – without adding unnecessary additives or preservatives. Health benefits include: Support for Thyroid Health Selenium supports normal thyroid function in healthy individuals and is important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. It is also necessary for converting the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) to the active T3 form (triiodothyronine). Healthy thyroid function benefits energy levels, metabolism, mood, and healthy hair and skin. Supporting Healthy Aging Selenium benefits powerful antioxidant functions in your body by supporting the glutathione and superoxide dismutase systems. Antioxidants like selenium help reduce oxidative damage in the body and brain caused by excess free radicals from environmental toxins, smoking, alcohol use, and stress, while supporting healthy skin, hair, and cognitive function. Promoting Optimal Immune Function Selenium plays an important role in the body’s immune health. Its antioxidant properties support a healthy inflammatory response and promote optimal immune function. Studies have shown that an optimal selenium level is associated with a healthy immune response. Heavy metal protection Selenium supplementation also might exert a protective effect against mercury, cadmium, and other toxic heavy metals.

THORNE RESEARCH Siliphos

$44.99

$44.99 $44.99

Siliphos combines a flavonoid from milk thistle (silybin) with phospholipids to form a well-absorbed complex. It offers liver-protective benefits and helps maintain normal levels of glutathione. Milk thistle contains multiple constituents with strong antioxidant activity that can protect liver cells from free radical damage, strengthen liver cell membranes, and help maintain the liver's built-in antioxidant system – glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In numerous studies, the milk thistle constituent silybin – the most active flavonoid in milk thistle – has been utilized to prevent liver cell damage from carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, acetaminophen, mushroom toxins, and benzopyrene from automobile exhaust. Thorne's Siliphos provides the benefits of silybin and phosphatidylcholine in one well-absorbed compound. These ingredients likely provide the synergistic benefit of sparing liver cells from degradation. Studies indicate this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex provides superior absorption compared to conventional milk thistle products. Silybin, normally a water-soluble flavonoid, is converted into a lipid-soluble compound by complexing it with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, to make a phytosome. The phytosome preparation allows for better absorption of this liver-protective flavonoid into liver cell membranes. Silymarin has been shown to help maintain the liver's normal inflammatory response to liver-toxic compounds. Of the three flavonoids that comprise silymarin, silybin predominates and is the most biologically active of the three. Phosphatidylcholine is not merely a passive "carrier" for the active flavonoid silybin, but is itself an active ingredient with documented efficacy for promoting liver health. Silybin protects the liver because of its significant antioxidant activity, while phosphatidylcholine helps repair and replace liver cell membranes.

THORNE RESEARCH Stress B-Complex

$23.99

$23.99 $23.99

A complete complex of B vitamins with extra B5 for adrenal support and stress management Stress B-Complex contains an optimal balance of essential B vitamins, with extra vitamin B5 to support healthy adrenal and immune function. Healthy adrenal glands play an important role in effectively managing stress. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is part of the B-vitamin complex and is essential for healthy adrenal and immune function. Thorne's Stress B-Complex provide extra vitamin B5, along with seven other water-soluble nutrients: thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin/R5P (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine/P5P (vitamin B6), methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), methyl-folate (5MTHF), and biotin. Although each B vitamin is chemically distinct, they work synergistically in various biochemical functions throughout the body – including cellular energy production, healthy red-blood-cell formation, and healthy neurological function. Most B vitamins, with the exception of vitamin B12, are not stored in the body; consequently, they must be acquired daily from the diet in order to maintain optimal health. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) serves as the starting material for the synthesis of coenzyme A, which is important for the metabolism of fats and the synthesis of adrenal hormones. Pantothenic acid plays a key role in the formation of acetylcholine, which is needed in the transmission of nerve impulses. Thorne's Stress B-Complex supplies 250 mg of pantothenic acid. Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

THORNE RESEARCH Super EPA Pro

$91.99

$91.99 $91.99

Super EPA Pro offers higher levels of EPA (650 mg per gelcap), which have been shown to enhance metabolism of blood fats, including triglycerides. CO2 extraction ensures its freshness and purity.The two most important omega-3 fatty acids from fish, EPA and DHA, provide significant benefits to the cardiovascular system. They support good circulation by promoting healthy blood vessels, by enhancing vascular endothelial function and blood flow, and by maintaining already normal triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Studies demonstrate that the greater the concentration of EPA in a capsule, the more effective it can be in maintaining healthy triglyceride levels. Super EPA Pro contains 650 mg EPA per capsule. Supercritical Fluid Technology (a CO2 extraction process) enhances purity and creates a highly-concentrated product. Super EPA Pro is also easy to swallow, with a capsule size that is 20-percent smaller than equivalent competitor products. And Super EPA Pro contains omega-3 oils from a sustainable source. When it comes to omega-3 fish oil, it's what is NOT in the capsule that can make a difference. For example, a typical 1,000 mg fish oil capsule might contain 300-500 mg of omega-3s but also 500-700 mg of other saturated and unsaturated fats per capsule – fats that can interfere with the efficacy of the omega-3s. The higher purity and greater concentration of Thorne's Super EPA Pro means you're getting the maximum omega-3 benefit possible. The low temperatures used in Supercritical Fluid Technology ensures the maintenance of the oil's molecular integrity. During this state-of-the-art process, the oil is extracted under a nitrogen blanket to ensure the oil stays fresh throughout the process by preventing the oil from being oxidized.

THORNE RESEARCH Theanine

$63.99

$63.99 $63.99

Amino acid from tea that supports a healthy stress response, relaxation, focus, and memory Theanine, found almost exclusively in the tea plant, helps modify brain waves by increasing alpha-wave production. It also enhances brain neurotransmitters involved in stress management. L-theanine is a unique amino acid that is found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and which has been used safely in Japan for decades. L-theanine has been shown to positively modify brain waves and the key neurotransmitters involved in mood, focus, and memory. L-theanine enhances the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and also appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a "brake" during times of runaway stress. L-theanine also enhances brain alpha-wave activity, a marker of relaxation.* This effect has been observed to be most pronounced in individuals subjectively feeling the highest levels of stress. A Japanese study of university students found that 200 mg of L-theanine led to increased brain alpha-waves and a subjective sense of relaxation. In the same study, L-theanine administration also caused a dose-dependent relaxed, yet alert, state of mind without sedation, beginning approximately 40 minutes after ingestion. L-theanine can enhance the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and it appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a "brake" during times of runaway stress. L-theanine helps establish balance in the neurotransmitter system, resulting in improvements in the mental/emotional and physical disturbances resulting from being overly stressed. Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

$36.99 $36.99

Nutritional and botanical support for healthy thyroid function in a non-glandular formulation* Thyrocsin thyroid cofactors enhance T4 hormone levels and support peripheral conversion of T4 to T3.* A Thorne exclusive. Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, thus affecting how these macro-nutrients produce energy. A deficiency or excess of thyroid hormones can have far-reaching effects. For example, a high cortisol level can interfere with thyroid function, resulting in low thyroxine (T4) or poor conversion of T4 to the active form, triiodothyronine (T3). Each thyroid hormone has multiple important functions in the body; for example, T4 supports cardiac output, heart rate, respiratory rate, and basal metabolic rate – a low basal metabolic rate can cause a person to be fatigued, chilly, and have trouble losing weight. Thyrocsin provides nutritional and botanical support for healthy thyroid function, for the conversion of T4 to T3, and for normal cortisol levels.* This non-glandular thyroid-support formula is available only from Thorne.Thorne's Thyrocsin formula contains key ingredients for thyroid support, including iodine, which is necessary for formation of T4, and L-tyrosine, which is a necessary component of both T4 and T3 formation.* Animal studies have indicated that the Ayurvedic botanical, ashwagandha, can increase T4 concentrations.* Thyrocsin also includes several nutrient cofactors necessary for converting T4 to T3, including the minerals selenium, zinc, and copper.* Thyrocsin includes vitamin B12 because a deficiency of this vitamin appears to interfere with the activity of thyroid hormones.* Conversion of T4 to T3 can be inhibited by heavy metal toxicity and lipid peroxidation; hence, the inclusion of antioxidant vitamins C and E to counterbalance this inhibition.*

THORNE RESEARCH Ultimate-E

$52.99

$52.99 $52.99

Vitamin E fat-soluble antioxidants for cardiovascular support Ultimate E contains a mixture of all tocopherols and utilizes molecular distillation to remove allergenic soy residues. Vitamin E is a vital antioxidant, and has been shown to benefit the cardiovascular system. Thorne's Ultimate-E contains mixed tocopherols and provides vital antioxidant activity in fat-soluble tissues. Numerous clinical studies have shown vitamin E is beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Ultimate-E, with its naturally occurring ratio of tocopherols, is an efficient way to supplement vitamin E – without the addition of soy oil as a filler. And recent studies looking at mixed tocopherols indicate they have a stronger inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation than alpha-tocopherol alone, indicating a more potent antioxidant effect. Thorne's vitamin E ingredient is extracted from a mixture of vegetable oils, including soy oil. However, any potentially allergenic soy residue is removed during the distillation process, and Ultimate-E is not diluted with soy oil. Tocopherols provide protection from free radicals and other by-products of oxygenation, including lipid peroxides and singlet oxygen radicals. Gamma-tocopherol inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, whereas alpha-tocopherol does not appear to have a significant effect on this enzyme. Human studies comparing diets supplemented with gamma- and alpha-tocopherols, to diets supplemented primarily with only alpha-tocopherol, found more DNA protection in the mixed-tocopherol group than the alpha-tocopherol group. Because the tocopherols in Ultimate-E come from a natural source, the tocopherol profile can vary slightly from batch to batch, although extra alpha-tocopherol is added to each batch that is manufactured to standardize the amount of this important tocopherol to 500 IU per gel cap. Take 1 gel cap one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

THORNE RESEARCH Vitamin B12 (formerly Methylcobalamin)

$22.99

$22.99 $22.99

Active form of vitamin B12 that supports heart and nerve health, circadian rhythms, and methylation Vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin is a tissue-ready form of vitamin B12. It supports cardiovascular function, normal sleep cycles, blood cell function, and nerve function. Many vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin as the active ingredient, which the liver must first "detoxify" and modify to form methylcobalamin – an active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for processes involved in cardiac function, sleep, blood cell formation, and nerve function. Thorne's Vitamin B12, as Methylcobalamin, provides vitamin B12 in its already biologically active and tissue-ready form. Clinical evidence indicates that the body uses methylcobalamin more efficiently than cyanocobalamin. Methylcoblamin helps maintain normal circadian rhythms to promote normal sleep and supports healthy methylation processes in the body. Methylcobalamin is essential for the body to recycle homocysteine and to form the internal methyl donors involved in cardiovascular function, sleep, blood cell formation, and nerve function. Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin; however, the liver must first "detoxify" the cyanide molecule in cyanocobalamin and then attach a methyl group to form methylcobalamin. Although research shows the quantity of cobalamin detected following an oral dose of methylcobalamin is similar to the amount following administration of cyanocobalamin, significantly more cobalamin accumulates in liver tissue following administration of methylcobalamin. And the urinary excretion of methylcobalamin is about one-third that of a similar dose of cyanocobalamin, indicating substantially greater tissue retention of the former.
