At Thorne, our team of scientific researchers and health professionals put their practice to work. Their every working minute is committed to ensuring Thorne products are safe and effective for those who use them.

But our researchers and scientists don’t just develop new health and wellness solutions for the individuals who use Thorne products. They also each have their own regimen of Thorne supplements they take regularly.

To get to know our medical experts a bit better, we asked several of our regular contributors at Take 5 Daily and The Thorne Podcast: “What’s your favorite Thorne supplement?”

Here’s what they said.

Amanda Frick, ND, LAc, Vice President, Medical Affairs

One of my favorite Thorne products is Phosphatidylserine. It’s my go-to after a busy day when my brain hasn’t gotten the message that it’s bedtime. It helps cut the mental chatter so I can get a good night’s rest.* Advanced Digestive Enzymes is another standard in my kitchen – and handbag. Thorne’s been making this product for decades, and it’s so obvious why. When I’ve allowed something indulgent or decadent in my diet, Advanced Digestive Enzymes really helps get me through it without bloat or discomfort. It’s a must-have for the holidays.

Laura Kunces, PhD, RD, Vice President of Medical Strategy

I subscribe to Thorne’s Magnesium Bisglycinate and love it so much that I actually get out of bed to mix it when I forget to take it. It ensures a good night’s sleep and helps me wake up feeling relaxed – especially after a workout, but even on rest days.* The lightly sweet taste is delicious just with water in the summer, and I mix it into chamomile tea in the winter.

Kathi Head, ND, Executive Director Medical Media

My current favorite Thorne products are Metabolic Health and Women’s Daily Probiotic. Although I have a laundry list of supplements I take, these are the two I always make a point of taking. The research on the ingredients in Metabolic Health is pretty robust for support of lipids, inflammatory balance, and fat metabolism.* And Women’s Daily Probiotic keeps my whole body ticking and happy. For a little variety, I sometimes alternate it with FloraMend Prime Probiotic®.

Mario Roxas, ND, Director, Scientific and Medical Affairs

My favorite Thorne product is Daily Greens Plus. I take it every morning as part of my daily routine, usually straight with water, or with Collagen Fit. Sometimes I blend Daily Greens Plus in a smoothie with berries and a banana. I find that it jumpstarts my day. Mentally, I feel more focused and present. Physically, I feel I have more energy and stamina. I also make sure I take Daily Greens Plus with me when I go on trips, because it helps me cope with the stress and energy-drain associated with travel.* Daily Greens Plus is my “go-to” product, especially when I’m on the go!

Jennifer L. Greer, ND, MEd, Director, Medical Education

I keep Thorne’s Theanine on hand for those busy, stressful days when focus is a top priority. It helps me feel more alert, but with a relaxed state of mind,* and I usually notice I’m more task-oriented in about 40 minutes.

Carly Duffy, MPH, RD, Medical Education Specialist – Consumer & Retail

One of my go-to supplements is PharmaGABA. My mind always seems to run a mile a minute at bedtime, and PharmaGABA helps promote a sense of calm and relaxation for falling asleep. I also love that it can support mental focus to keep my mind sharp, especially during important presentations and projects.*

Sheena Smith, MS, MA, Clinical Research Manager

One of my favorite Thorne products is Whey Protein Isolate. Although the chocolate flavor is great on its own, it goes with many other flavors. My go-to is to mix it with water and orange juice, especially after a workout. I have started adding a partial scoop of the vanilla-flavored powder to my unsweetened cereal – a popular O-shaped brand – to boost my morning protein intake and find that it works quite nicely and adds a bit of low-calorie sweetness. Hint: Add the powder to a small amount of milk and mix thoroughly before adding the rest of the milk for a smoother texture.

Maura Donovan, MS, RD, CSSD, Medical Education Specialist – Sports Nutrition

Some of my favorite Thorne supplements are Amino Complex, Ferrasorb®, and Magnesium Bisglycinate. Amino Complex is great to sip on during a workout session or after a run to kick start my recovery process. Ferrasorb helps maintain my iron stores with its comprehensive nutrient panel (including vitamin C for optimal absorption), while ending the day with Magnesium Bisglycinate helps my muscles relax for a good night's sleep.* 

Ashley Huber, MS, Director, Scientific Affairs

It’s hard to choose just one favorite, but Collagen Plus and Creatine are at the top of my list. Collagen Plus stands out because it goes beyond the well-known skin benefits, offering support for connective tissue and joints – plus it tastes great!* It’s an enjoyable part of my morning routine.

Creatine, on the other hand, is such a powerhouse supplement with a growing body of research highlighting its benefits beyond muscle performance. From cognitive support to cellular energy production, it remains one of the most researched and widely used supplements.* Thorne’s is clean, simple, and one of the few that helps me feel truly supported after a workout.
