Is Thorne vitamin D 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.

Partly: 2 of the 7 we track, not all of them. 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.

One listing names the D-5,000 in its 60 and 120 counts, which are the bottles sold with the NSF mark. The D-1,000, the D-10,000 and the two liquids have no listing.

What the listings say

Thorne holds 1 Certified for Sport listing covering the products in this table (1221010). 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.

5 products here have no NSF listing at all. That is an absence in a database, not a failed test: most supplements have never been independently tested, and NSF Certified for Sport is one program among several.

What each product page shows

The listing prints Package Size "60, 120" and Serving Size "1 capsule". This bottle's front face prints "60 CAPSULES" and its panel prints "Serving Size: One Capsule", so the listing's bare count is this label's count on this label's serving unit, and it names the package sold. The listing's own label image carries the same amount, 125 mcg (5,000 IU) a capsule. The 120-capsule bottle, priced separately here, is the other count on the same listing.

Where to buy: the picks, by labeled strength

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.
