Why we selected this company:

When Al and Kelly Czap started Thorne Research in 1984 their mission was to provide health-care practitioners with the purest possible supplements for their patients. Their first decision was to not manufacture tablets, which require adding ingredients unnecessary for the patient. Instead, they decided to make supplements in capsules. Their second big decision was to only purchase the most hypoallergenic raw materials available, instead of raw materials that were diluted and standardized with lactose, sucrose, preservatives, or other unnecessary additives. Their third basic decision was to promote the best possible absorption of nutrients in their products by avoiding the use of magnesium stearate, a common powder lubricant.
