How It Works

A foundational multivitamin works at the enzymatic level: B vitamins are coenzymes in the Krebs cycle that turns food into ATP; zinc and magnesium cofactor hundreds of reactions; fat-soluble vitamins A/D/E/K regulate gene expression and antioxidant defense. Thorne's differentiators are active folate (5-MTHF) and methyl-B12, which skip the MTHFR conversion step that a meaningful share of the population performs poorly, plus chelated minerals for absorption without stomach upset.

Key Functions It Supports

  • foundational nutrition
