Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day
by Thorne
"The supplement industry's most trusted multivitamin — used by pro athletes and doctors"
Overview
Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day is the multivitamin that supplement experts take themselves. Thorne is the official supplement partner of the UFC, US Olympic teams, and Mayo Clinic. The formula uses the most bioavailable forms of every nutrient: methylfolate instead of folic acid, methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin, and chelated minerals for superior absorption. At just 2 capsules per day, it's the most convenient premium multivitamin available.
