Are Thorne supplements hypoallergenic?
Yes. Thorne strives to use only the highest quality ingredients and avoids substances that may contain hidden allergens. The products are free from gluten, soya, lactose, artificial colours and preservatives. This also makes them suitable for people with food intolerances or a sensitive immune system.
What does it mean that Thorne products are NSF Certified for Sport®?
NSF Certified for Sport® is an internationally recognised certification indicating that a supplement has been independently tested for purity, safety and the absence of banned substances. Products bearing this label are free from more than 200 doping-related substances and undergo rigorous checks for composition and quality.
Why is NSF Certified for Sport® important for athletes?
For elite athletes, it is essential to know exactly what they are taking. A single banned substance can lead to disqualification or health risks. Thorne’s NSF-certified products give athletes confidence that they are choosing safe, pure supplements that meet the strictest standards.
What is the difference between capsules and tinctures?
Capsules and tinctures differ in their method of administration. Capsules are swallowed, while tinctures can be mixed with drinks or dripped directly into the mouth. Tinctures offer flexibility in dosage.
Why should I choose Morgen is Nu supplements?
Dietary supplements differ in quality. The quality and origin of raw materials varies; there are different degrees of purity and the source can be synthetic or natural. Additions to the active ingredients also differ, such as excipients in the production of tablets and substances to increase effectiveness. At Morgen is Nu we are very critical when it comes to the origin and quality of our products, and we choose the purest possible product with as few unnecessary additives as possible.
Can you take multiple supplements at the same time?
Yes, you can take multiple supplements at the same time. The active ingredients are a supplement to your diet. Various nutrients are also eaten daily. You can compare it to multiple nutrients per day in terms of nutrition. It is important that you do not take in too much, so pay close attention to the recommended daily amount added together. Everyone reacts differently to supplements. If you start combining multiple supplements, pay close attention to any changes in your health, energy level or reactions of your body.
Can I also give the supplements to my children?
If you want to give supplements to a child, buy a product that is tailored to the age of the child. So only give a product to children if the product states that it is suitable for children.
Is it necessary to take a supplement?
Taking a supplement is a personal choice. Supplements can complement your diet, for example when certain foods are eaten less often.
In some situations, people choose to use supplements to support their overall nutritional intake. Supplements are not medicines and do not replace a healthy diet or medical advice.
If you have specific health concerns, take medication or have particular circumstances, it is advisable to seek professional advice first.

Why do you put a label over the original label?
The information on each product label must comply with current legal requirements. Under these rules, we must also make the label information available in Dutch. That is why we put a Dutch-language label that complies with Dutch law on every product we import.
Why does the information on the label you apply and on your website differ from the original product label?
Our mission is to make the healthiest products available in the Netherlands. That is why we import many products from outside Europe. Unfortunately, the laws and regulations there differ from those here in Europe, and specifically in the Netherlands. Although the information on the supplier’s label is our starting point, it does not always comply with the laws and regulations that apply here. In some cases, this means the label needs to be adapted. As a result, the information on our website and on the label we apply to the product may differ from the information on the supplier’s label. The label information can differ in two ways: either the daily dose and directions for use have been adjusted, or the amounts of active substances in the nutritional information table are different. You can read more about both cases in the FAQ below.
Why do your directions for use differ from the supplier's?
In the Netherlands, some substances have legal maximum daily doses. This is the case, for example, for vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin D. These limits are often based on the maximum safe dose established by various scientific committees. To avoid exceeding the legal maximum dose, we may adjust the recommended use.
Why are the vitamin amounts per daily dose on your website and on the overlabel different from those on the original product?
There are two possible reasons: either we have had to recalculate the amount using a conversion factor, or we have had to adjust it to comply with regulations on amounts above and below those stated on the label.
Under current laws and regulations, some vitamin compounds must be shown in the label information as the equivalent of another compound. For example, vitamin A must be expressed as mcg of retinol or mcg of retinol equivalent, while vitamin B6 must be expressed as pyridoxine or pyridoxine base. This means that, when a different compound is used, we must recalculate the amount of these vitamins per daily dose using a conversion factor. The amount on the Dutch label and our website may therefore differ from that on the original product.
Another reason why the amount per daily dose on the Dutch label may differ from the supplier’s label is that we have had to make a correction. To prevent consumers from being misled, the Netherlands has strict rules on active substances in food supplements being present in amounts above or below those stated on the label. We thoroughly check every product we receive. If laboratory testing shows that the amount of active substances differs from what is stated on the product’s original label, we correct it on the Dutch label that we place over it. We do this to comply with the regulations and so that you know the amount you are taking is accurately stated.
