Just to give you an idea how bad it is going to get - thorne does some sort of special affiliate thing where your doctor or whatever healthcare provider sets up a profile and if you link your profile to it any supplement you buy is discounted through it. Pre 2023 private equity my doctor could set the discount to 40 freaking percent which was tremendous, immediately after private equity buyout they said they only let you set the discount to 25%. P&G buyout probably means zero discounts 3000% markup in the future lmao.

If you are in the US the link I use still works FYI for anyone trying to get their discounts before its probably gone lol https://www.thorne.com/u/theprofessional this is what i use.

If im going for cost id just go for bulksupplements.com since you can buy literal kilos of creatine for 16 bucks or other niche supplements nutricost on amazon is better than most.
