Thorne: Expert in Sports Supplementation
We all know that sports can contribute to a healthy body and a healthy mind. But sports are not only important for people who like exercise or competition, people who are recovering from an operation or trauma also benefit from sports training.
More and more research shows that training before and after an operation significantly accelerates recovery and ensures less loss of function.
Of course, sports is also a way to prevent health problems in general and to feel fit and energetic. An additional advantage is that your body also looks better.
Thorne was one of the first supplement brands to recognize the importance of good supplementation in sports. Not only for more endurance and better performance, but also for a responsible recovery of the body to prevent injuries.
For example, Thorne has a whole range of single supplements that can benefit athletes in general, such as Magnesium Bisglycinate, L-Glutamine, Nicotinamide Riboside, Creatine, etc.
In addition, there is a wonderful range of formula products, developed for their specific effect on areas such as muscles, fluid balance, energy and recovery.
Prices
The NSF Certified for Sport® quality mark means that a one-time inspection of a product is not sufficient for a manufacturer. Each batch of the product in question must be tested before the Certified for Sport® quality mark may be used, so that there is 100% certainty that there are no deviations or cross-contamination, for example. However, this does mean that the price of NSF-approved products is slightly higher than that of the regular variant.
Smeets & Graas recently started selling all Thorne NSF-Certified for Sport® products that are permitted on the Dutch market.
Sponsorship
A growing group of professional athletes shows that Thorne and top sports are a great combination. Thorne supports more than 100 American professional sports teams and national teams with expertise and premium nutritional supplements.

Thorne: NSF-Certified for Sport®
Professional athletes have also started using Thorne supplements to take their sports performance to the next level.
It is very important for top athletes to be able to trust the resources they consume 100%. That is why the majority of Thorne's sports range is NSF-Certified for Sport®.
NSF is the American National Sanitation Foundation, an independent institute that develops strict standards for public health and safety. NSF tests food, water and consumer products for their safety.
This also includes testing whether products are suitable for top athletes: that is to say, they may not contain any prohibited substances that have been blacklisted by the major sports organizations (doping). The American NSF quality mark also guarantees full label transparency, so that the user knows that what is stated on the label is actually in the product.
Thorne now sponsors athletes from a wide range of sports disciplines, from weightlifters to tennis players, from Formula 1 drivers to surfers, from American football players to long-distance runners.
If you are active in one of these disciplines, we would be happy to let you know which Thorne products the athletes in question have on their daily list.
