Thorne Basic Nutrients – Multi vitamin without iron

Thorne Basic Nutrients is certainly an above-standard multi-vitamin formula. It uses best quality forms of vitamins and minerals, which means that absorption and delivery to the cells will be optimal and all nutrients contained are balanced.

Multi Iron-Free

Thorne multi vitamin does not contain iron with a reason. There’s a lot of controversy about adding iron because too much iron hurts even more than too little iron. Around 20% (mostly males) are struggling with excess iron stores in the body that causes oxidative stress and liver damage. Some even have a disease called hemochromatosis.

That’s why you won’t find iron in most high-quality multis. Add iron only if you have a known deficiency. In this case, we recommend supplements in the form of organic iron like IronSorb.

Why add minerals and vitamins?

The addition of vitamins and minerals is now almost essential while consuming processed foods. Thorne Multivitamin Tablets are a complex but gentle supplement of vitamins and minerals with a special formula that includes ingredients made for optimal absorption and rapid release of micronutrients. Our food today is much more depleted of nutrients than it was 50, 100 or more years ago. Most of what we can buy in supermarkets is grown in greenhouses and doesn’t ever even see the sun until we take it out of the store. It is harvested unripe and travels oceans to get to us. If we want to nourish our bodies with all the necessary vitamins and minerals, then we must add them in the form of various supplements. Thorne Basic Nutrients Multi Vitamin is definitely one of the best choices on the market.

Do I Need a Multivitamin?

The answer to this question is probably YES. With today’s nutrient requirements and food production method, extracting all the important micronutrients from food is extremely difficult, if not nearly impossible. Multivitamins cover your daily nutrient requirements and are part of (not a substitute for) a healthy diet.

They are especially important for:

• professional and recreation athletes,
• teenagers in growth spur
• elderly,
• people with chronic illnesses,
• while taking medication,
• if you are on a restrictive diet.

There are many multivitamin supplements on the market that are of poor quality and that is why there are so many different results from taking multis (some supplements even harm health). Choosing the best quality is therefore very important and Thorne is definitely synonymous with quality supplements.
