Product Description
The gut isn’t just the stomach. The gut is the entire digestive tract (from the mouth to the rectum) and is a complex mix of organs, microbes, hormones, and enzymes. How this complex mix of organs interacts dictates how well you will absorb the foods you eat. So what happens or doesn’t happen in your gut will inevitably impact your daily lifestyle. Because the digestive tract delivers the nutrients we eat to our bodies, there are many steps we can take to make sure we reap the full reward from these nutrients in terms of absorption, especially if someone is prone to gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, or other distress after eating. Optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is vital to nutrient absorption, nutrient synthesis, the production of short-chain fatty acids for colon health, the elimination of waste, and proper immune function. An unhealthy diet, insufficient digestive enzymes, and taking various prescriptions can cause imbalances in the gut flora. That’s why supplementation is important, and it's is why Thorne offers well-researched, high-quality supplements that support a healthy gut.
When the highest standards have been met, Thorne creates higher ones.

---|---|---|---|
Sourcing Exceptional IngredientsWe develop better standards for higher quality ingredients. Thorne cares deeply about where our ingredients come from. We partner only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality, science, and responsibility. Better ingredients means better potency, absorption, and digestibility - and ultimately better health. |
Manufacturing the Right WayWe manufacture our own products to ensure full supply chain transparency. For more than 30 years, we have invested in clean manufacturing practices. We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified. |
Four Rounds of TestingWe run four rounds of testing for each of our products. We have invested in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories that allow us to conduct four rounds of testing, while most competitors test only one or two times. We test our raw materials, in-process batches, finish products, and product stability for each product. |
Thinking SustainablyWe're thinking sustainably to protect our environment. We believe the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain. At Thorne, we believe that doing our part to protect the environment and its most valuable resources goes hand in hand with our product quality standards. |
Focus on sustainability
Small changes in product size & weight lead to lower carbon emissions.
We created Compact by Design to identify products that, while they may not always look very different, have a more efficient design. With the removal of excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant carbon emission reductions.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Feeling confident, I slowly increased the dosage, and within the following week and a half, suddenly noticed strong, unrelenting heart palpitations and unexplained anxiety -- which I hadn't had in a long time. This particular supplement was the only new item I had added to my routine.
Other reviewers here have noted heart palpitations and arrhythmia issues after starting this, so I felt I should join the conversation and share my experience. I do think my bad side effects are dosage related. It's clear that I exceeded a safe dosage for me. If you research L-glutamine, you will find it can be harmful for some people using larger doses because it increases "excitatory" brain chemicals that trigger anxiety, heart rate, and so on. Start small. Be careful.
Not saying this doesn't work for digestive problems. It does work and it's a good quality product. But watch the dosage you start with -- and monitor how you feel after using consistently for more than a week. It took a week of use for the heart rate issue to show up. After I stopped the supplement, I returned to normal after 24 hours, no more heart palpitations.
