Basic Nutrients V with Copper and w/o Iron & Iodine (Advanced Formula) 180 Vegetarian Capsules

Basic Nutrients V, by Thorne Research, is a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement that does not contain iron. This supplement does contain the basic nutrients that the body uses to function at optimal performance. Researchers at Thorne Research believe that a basic, yet comprehensive, multivitamin, such as this one, should be the foundation for everyone’s nutritional intake. At Thorne Research, they do not believe in adding unnecessary elements to an otherwise beneficial supplement. Doing so would just dilute its efficacy. This is why Thorne only produces the purest possible multivitamin and mineral supplements.

The Thorne Research Difference

Basic Nutrients V contains the usable and active forms of vitamins B6 and B2, and it contains essential trace minerals, including Thorne Research’s patented chromium formulation: UltraChrome.

This multivitamin and mineral supplement contains active folic acid (in a balanced ratio of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folinic acid) and is devoid of pre-diluted ingredients and hidden preservatives. It does not contain stearic acid or magnesium stearate, which can inhibit nutrient absorption.

In perfect alignment with Thorne Research’s quality guidelines, this product contains the most pure and bio-available ingredients – without any unnecessary additives and preservatives.

Why Is a Good Multi-Vitamin and Mineral Supplement Important?

One subject that many experts like to debate is proper nutrition, but there is one thing that almost everyone can agree with – most Americans aren’t getting the proper amount of nutrients from their diet. In order to meet nutritional guidelines every American would have to eat five servings of health-promoting fruits and vegetables every day. Even the Journal of the American Medical Association, who has been reluctant to recommend supplementation, recently advised that everyone should be taking a multivitamin supplement. It is especially crucial for those who aren’t getting enough nutrients from their diet, but even people who eat a healthy balanced diet can benefit from a daily multivitamin – just think of it as a dietary insurance policy.

About Basic Nutrients V

This particular multivitamin and mineral supplement is considered as Thorne Research’s most advanced Basic Nutrients formula. It is a comprehensive solution for those looking to ensure they get adequate nutrition every day, and it contains essential minerals like calcium, potassium and magnesium bound to citrate-malate. Citrate-malate is the most soluble and absorbable form of these mineral chelates. Basic Nutrients V contains copper and vitamin K1, but no iron or iodine. After menopause women do not need additional iron, and men are not encouraged to take iron supplements without prior approval from their doctor. Actually, it is generally only considered safe for someone to take an iron supplement if they have been diagnosed with a condition that causes anemia. Some people are sensitive to iodine, so Thorne has excluded it from this formula.

The Basic Nutrients V multivitamin and mineral supplement also contains a complete assortment of trace minerals along with a full scope of highly absorbed vitamin co-factors.
