Thorne entered into a Master Clinical Study Agreement with Mayo Clinic in August 2014 to conduct a series of randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials on several nutritional supplements.

The primary focus has been on testing materials that are considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) within the FDA designation, and to emphasize the understanding of mechanism of action, safety, pharmacokinetics, and optimal use for these products. Thorne also provides reliable, relevant health information from Mayo Clinic to the general public.
