Is Thorne vitamin B12 NSF certified?

Our picks, by labeled strength, with a link to buy them: see where to buy. A strength with nothing certified at it has no pick, and is not listed there.

Yes, for every Thorne product we track in this category. NSF lists a specific package against each certificate, and a certificate is what NSF actually stands behind, so a package the listing does not name is treated as unconfirmed rather than certified. Every row below was read against NSF's own listing, and the listing ID is shown.

NSF holds one listing for this bottle, and it names both counts we price.

What the listings say

Thorne holds 1 Certified for Sport listing covering the products in this table (1811504). NSF records some brands under more than one spelling, so a search on the brand name alone can miss a listing; ours are found from a full read of the directory, then opened one by one.

What each product page shows

The listing prints Package Size "60, 90" and Serving Size "1 capsule". This bottle's front face prints "60 CAPSULES" and its panel prints "Serving Size: One Capsule", so 60 is this label's count on this label's serving unit and the listing names this package. The product photograph the listing files shows the same thing: its front face prints "60 CAPSULES". Thorne sells this formula as two bottles under two SKUs, B125 here and B134 at 90 capsules, and the listing names both counts. Thorne's own page for B134 ends its description "NSF Certified for Sport(R)" and its page for this one does not repeat that line, so this bottle was confirmed only after the listing itself was read against both bottles.
The listing prints Package Size "60, 90" and Serving Size "1 capsule". This bottle's front face prints "90 CAPSULES" and its panel prints "Serving Size: One Capsule", so 90 is this label's count on this label's serving unit and the listing names this package. This is also the SKU whose store page says "NSF Certified for Sport(R)" in its own description. One listing covers both of the bottles Thorne sells in this formula: the 60-capsule bottle is recorded separately and is certified at its own package too.

Where to buy: the pick for each type

The pick is the cheapest certified product, at the exact package sold where the certifier names packages, with no adverse finding on record, a price its retailer let us read recently, and no more than a year’s supply at the label’s serving; per delivered dose where the retailer publishes a delivery rate. Where none does, it is the cheapest such product before delivery, and it says how far the order is from free delivery. It is the same pick the category page shows.

What this rests on: prices we last recorded at the retailer named on each product page, which go stale, and each page says when it was checked; the products we track, not every product sold, and Amazon and Walmart are not among the stores; listings and labels read at the source, each linked from the page.
