Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day review

Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day has the most carefully chosen nutrient forms on this list. Folate comes as L-5-MTHF, B12 as methylcobalamin, B6 as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, and minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper and manganese come in bisglycinate or glycinate forms. A 2-capsule serving adds 50 mcg of vitamin D3, 200 mcg each of vitamin K1 and K2 and 140 mcg of lutein. The version we list is NSF Certified for Sport, the certification athletes look for when they are drug tested, and Thorne accepts FSA and HSA funds through Truemed. The price is the drawback: $40 buys 60 capsules, which is 30 days at the label dose of 2 capsules. The ingredient list shows no iron, and calcium (52 mg) and magnesium (20 mg) are low, so people who need those minerals will need another product. For a similar methylated formula at half the cost, Life Extension Two-Per-Day is the closer match.
