What We Like

  • NSF certification: Safety for professional sport and doping tests
  • Purity: No additives, no colorants
  • Fine powder: Clump-free, dissolves instantly
  • Thorne quality: Strict supplier selection and cGMP production

What We’re Missing

  • Price: Relatively high cost per day
  • No bulk size: A 1 kg option would benefit heavy users

Usage Recommendation

1 scoop (5 g) daily in water or an electrolyte drink. Best absorbed alongside carbohydrates or post-workout.
