Are there any side effects from supplements?

However, depending on the individual's conditions there may be side effects just as there is food intolerance. Please refer to each product page or discuss possible side effects with your prescription medications of your doctor.

(TGA= Therapeutic Goods Administration; NSF= National Sanitation Foundation). Thorne's R&D department collaborates clinically with the Mayo Clinic, a prestigious research center in the United States. The Thorne manufacturer sources natural ingredients with high purity, and creates a clean manufacturing process. Thorne supplements are used in a more absorbable form and engineered with an appropriate amount of bioactive substances, thus ensuring more safety and a higher efficacy than other supplements.

I have an HRA account at work. Is this program qualified to use my HRA? Or is this program qualified to use other accounts like HSA or FSA?

Before purchasing one of our products, you should consider checking first with your benefits coordinator to determine if your purchases will be covered/reimbursed. 

Once I get the personalized nutrition supplements after the test, when do I expect my health to improve?

We typically suggest doing your best to take all supplements and be as compliant as possible with diet and other lifestyle recommendations for at least 30 days. But changes related to lifestyle often take some time for lasting results to occur. While more subjective concerns - like improved sleep, general feelings of well-being, etc. May be noticeable in the first 30 days, more specific physiological changes - such as those seen on a blood test - often require weeks to months of compliance for measurable changes to occur. We advise that you consult with your physician for your continued health management and to adjust your plan as needed for your individual health concerns.
