Vitamin D-5,000 - NSF Certified for Sport Details

Thorne’s D-5,000 contains 5,000 IU of high-quality vitamin D3 and is NSF Certified for Sport®. Although it is well known that direct sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, many individuals, especially the elderly, don’t get enough vitamin D from sunlight or from their diet. Be sure you get the vitamin D your body needs with Thorne’s easily absorbed Vitamin D-5,000.

Benefits of Thorne’s Vitamin D-5000: 

• Supports healthy teeth and bones*
• Promotes lean muscle mass and helps maintain muscle strength*
• Enhances the absorption and retention of calcium*
• Supports healthy brain function*
• Promotes cardiovascular health and immune function*
• Formulated with vitamin D3, a more potent and better absorbed form than vitamin D2
• Thorne’s vitamin D contains no lactose and no preservatives like BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid

You could be at a higher risk of a vitamin D deficiency if you:

• Rarely go outdoors, live in the northern latitudes, or have a darker skin tone
• Have limited sun exposure due to your occupation, clothing choices, or engage in indoor athletics rather than outdoor sports
• Regularly wear sunscreen with an SPF greater than 8
• Are an older adult (the risk of a deficiency increases with age beginning at age 50)
• Have a chronic health condition, such as a bowel disease or a surgical procedure (like gastric bypass) that decreases fat absorption
• Are obese

The optimal amount of vitamin D for an individual depends on many factors and varies from person to person. Therefore, the requirement for vitamin D supplementation should be individualized. Either of Thorne’s D-1,000 or D-5,000 can be an ideal way to maintain an optimal level of vitamin D in healthy individuals.*

Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.

Vitamin C with Flavonoids (90 count) Details

Although you might rely on vitamin C only during the winter months, this vitamin can support your overall health every day. Vitamin C has many roles in your body and is linked to impressive health benefits, including immune function, collagen formation, and supporting liver detoxification.*

Because vitamin C is a vitamin that the body can’t produce, it must be obtained from the diet or by supplementation.

Thorne’s Vitamin C with Flavonoids contains ascorbic acid and naturally occurring citrus flavonoids. The flavonoids provide greater antioxidant capacity than Vitamin C does alone, thus better scavenging free radicals within the body.*

Benefits of Vitamin C with Flavonoids:

• Promotes optimal immune function,
• Important in collagen production, which enhances skin, nail, and hair health*
• Supports healthy tissue and cartilage formation, a benefit during wound healing and injury repair*
• Plays a role in phase I liver detoxification, plus its antioxidant properties help protect against the toxic effects of heavy metals*
• Helps increase glutathione, a potent antioxidant necessary for supporting phase II liver detoxification*

The benefits of collagen production, its antioxidant status, and immune support make vitamin C an important nutrient for surgery patients to support wound healing*

Advanced Bone Support (formerly Oscap) Details

Thorne’s Advanced Bone Support is a comprehensive blend of bone-supportive vitamins and

minerals.* Adequate calcium intake is integral to building a healthy bone matrix, and magnesium

promotes bone density by optimizing the secretion of parathyroid hormone and facilitating

while the trace mineral boron assists the body’s metabolism of vitamin D and estrogen.* Active

B vitamins are included to support healthy methylation, which promotes an optimal level of

homocysteine,* an excess of which is a risk factor for low bone density.

What it does

⁄ Provides foundational nutrients needed for healthy bone matrix*

⁄ Supports healthy bone formation and healing after injury*

⁄ Delivers cofactors needed to optimize absorption and transport of calcium*

⁄ Features B vitamins that support healthy methylation, a key role in bone health*

Who could benefit

⁄ Menopausal women at risk for bone loss

⁄ Adolescents and young adults – because it’s never too early to start banking bone

⁄ Anyone at increased risk for bone loss, including smokers, those with a sedentary lifestyle,
