    Basic Prenatal from Thorne

    The leader in science-backed health and wellness solutions Thorne, announced that its leading prenatal supplement, Basic Prenatal, has become the first prenatal with a bioactive form of folate to earn NSF Certified for Sport® certification. The milestone builds on Thorne’s longstanding commitment to quality by extending its industry-leading portfolio of NSF Certified for Sport® products to support athletes and active women throughout every stage of life – including preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

    Thorne’s Basic Prenatal is designed to provide comprehensive nutritional support throughout preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum with clinically selected nutrients in highly absorbable forms.* Basic Prenatal includes a bioactive form of folate to support healthy fetal development while delivering comprehensive nutritional support before, during, and after pregnancy.* Thorne routinely tests every lot of Basic Prenatal for heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic, and evaluates each batch against established quality specifications and applicable California Proposition 65 requirements prior to release. While the formula remains unchanged, it now also meets the rigorous NSF Certified for Sport® standard, providing athletes and active women with an additional level of assurance through testing for banned substances.

    “Performance doesn’t stop when life changes,” said Dr. Amanda Frick, ND, LAc – Senior Vice President of Medical, Clinical, and Scientific Affairs at Thorne. “Women deserve the same rigorous standards for their prenatal nutrition that elite athletes expect from every supplement they take. By bringing NSF Certified for Sport® certification to Basic Prenatal, we’re extending the trusted standard athletes have relied on from Thorne for years to one of the most important supplements they’ll ever take – reinforcing our commitment to uncompromising quality, rigorous testing, and confidence at every stage of life.”

    NSF Certified for Sport® is recognized as the gold standard in third-party supplement certification. Products that earn the certification undergo rigorous testing to help verify label claims and screen for banned substances, making the certification especially valuable for competitive athletes and active individuals who want confidence that their supplements meet the highest standards for quality and integrity. Basic Prenatal’s certification marks another milestone in Thorne’s ongoing commitment to NSF Certified for Sport® and its broader investment in women’s health. This year, Thorne also introduced three new products formulated by and for women – Perimenopause Complete, Women’s Libido Boost, and Radiant Skin Complex, all of which launched with NSF Certified for Sport® certification. Thorne anticipates expanding its portfolio of NSF Certified for Sport® products later this year as part of its continued commitment to delivering science-backed supplements with the highest standards of quality and third-party verification.

  • Designs for Health Introduces Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™

    Designs for Health Introduces Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™

    The practitioner-recommended and preferred brand for high-quality, research-backed supplements, Designs for Health®, today announced the launch of Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™, a groundbreaking once-daily probiotic and postbiotic formula that combines live Akkermansia muciniphila with the clinically studied BPL1® postbiotic to support the gut–metabolic connection, the body’s natural GLP-1 production, and healthy weight management.*

    As research continues to explore the connection between the gut microbiome and metabolic health, emerging science suggests that specific keystone bacterial strains, those that are foundational to the gut microbiome, may play a vital role in supporting appetite regulation, blood sugar metabolism, gut barrier integrity, and overall metabolic resilience. Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™ was developed to address this connection by combining two research-backed ingredients designed to work synergistically within the gut ecosystem.*

    At the center of the formula is Akkermansia muciniphila, a keystone probiotic strain naturally present in the human gut microbiome that has been studied for its role in supporting gut barrier function, microbial diversity, and the body’s natural GLP-1 activity.* The formula also features heat-treated BPL1®, a patented and clinically studied postbiotic developed through advanced microbiome research to support healthy body composition, help reduce abdominal fat, and promote healthy blood sugar metabolism and insulin function.* Together, these two clinically studied ingredients work synergistically to support a balanced gut microbiome, digestive comfort, and metabolic health.* Powered by patented oxygen-free technology, the formula is designed to preserve oxygen-sensitive strains and ensure stability and delivery of clinically relevant organisms.*

    “As interest in GLP-1 pathways and metabolic health continues to grow, both consumers and practitioners are looking for solutions that support these systems naturally and comprehensively,” said Dr. David M. Brady, Chief Medical Officer at Designs for Health. “At Designs for Health, we’re committed to translating emerging science into meaningful clinical solutions, and Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™ was developed to support the important relationship between gut health and metabolism using clinically studied, research-backed ingredients designed to promote microbiome balance, GLP-1 activity, and overall metabolic wellness.”

    The launch of Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™ reflects Designs for Health’s ongoing commitment to microbiome innovation and science-driven product development. Over the past year, the company has expanded its portfolio of differentiated probiotic formulations including Complete Commensal Probiotic™ and Anaerostipes Probiotic designed to address growing demand for advanced gut health and metabolic support solutions.*

    Complete Commensal Probiotic™ in particular marked an industry first: it is the first formula ever to deliver five keystone commensal strains — including Akkermansia muciniphila, the same keystone strain at the heart of Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™ — sourced from a single, exceptionally healthy super donor.* It is also the first probiotic on the market to feature the rare, hard-to-deliver strains Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Roseburia intestinalis.* Rather than simply passing through the gut, these patent-pending “ecosystem architect” strains cross-feed one another and help the gut produce butyrate — a compound essential to gut barrier integrity, immune support, and metabolism — to rebuild the microbiome from the foundation up.* Together, these formulas provide flexibility to harness the power of the keystone strain Akkermansia muciniphila, whether through rebuilding the gut microbiome with Complete Commensal Probiotic™ or supporting GLP-1 activity, metabolic health, and healthy weight management with Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™.

    Akkermansia Pro GLP-1 Probiotic™ is now available for purchase on DesignsforHealth.com. To learn more about Designs for Health and its comprehensive portfolio of products, visit https://www.designsforhealth.com.
