Thorne’s catalog is filled with specialized health and performance supplements, and while it gets deep into particular categories and subcategories, its latest release is one of its most interesting and intriguing. The brand’s all-new Protein Optimizer does not add more protein to the diet; instead, as per the name, it is a probiotic and enzymatic formula designed to support digestion, essential amino acid absorption, and utilization of protein through the gut.
Each capsule combines 20mg of bacillus coagulans with 21mg of the premium probiotic blend Mycohsa. That second component brings together lactobacillus acidophilus, lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, bifidobacterium breve, and saccharomyces boulardii, as well as the digestive enzyme amylase. The complete formula guarantees at least three billion active cultures, all for the purpose of being used alongside plant and animal-derived protein for better microbiome balance, digestive comfort, bowel regularity, and overall nutrient uptake.
Thorne’s Protein Optimizer is an extremely innovative supplement, mostly due to the purpose of all of the ingredients it brings together. We have seen maybe a handful of protein-enhancing products like this over the years, but they are certainly not common. This is a great addition for anyone who takes in a good amount of protein, and the cost of Protein Optimizer is $42 for a bottle of 30 single-serving capsules, giving you enough to last a typical month.
