Thorne’s Basic Nutrients 2/Day is a complete multivitamin and mineral formula designed to provide a robust nutritional foundation in just two capsules daily. This convenient formula is ideal for individuals seeking comprehensive support without a high capsule count. It features a full spectrum of essential nutrients in their most absorbable forms, supporting everything from heart and brain health to immune function and strong bones.

How It Works: Bioavailable Nutrients for Optimal Benefit*

This formula stands apart by using the purest and most bioavailable vitamins and minerals, ensuring your body can effectively absorb and utilize them.*

Active Vitamins and Chelated Minerals
Basic Nutrients 2/Day includes the active forms of B vitamins, such as methylcobalamin (B12) and L-5-MTHF (folate), which bypass conversion steps in the body for immediate use. In addition, the minerals in this formula, like zinc and magnesium, are in their chelated forms. This means they are bound to amino acids, which significantly enhances their absorption and reduces the likelihood of digestive upset.*

Broad-Spectrum Support for Your Body
This well-rounded formula provides key nutrients for systemic health. Vitamins K1 and K2 work with Vitamin D3 to direct calcium to the bones, supporting both skeletal and cardiovascular health. Antioxidants like Vitamins C and E help protect cells from oxidative stress. Finally, minerals like chromium and zinc support healthy blood sugar metabolism and a robust immune response, respectively.*

ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.
PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.
INTERACTIONS As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrently with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, 5-MTHF has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
