"What I put into my body for training and recovery is just as important as the work put in on the track," said Ajee' Wilson, professional runner. "Thorne's focus on high-quality products and individual testing gives me peace of mind as I train for the biggest moments in my life. I love that the products I use meet my specific needs, while being held to the utmost standards of an NSF Certification with no banned substances."
Ajee' Wilson currently holds the U.S. record for the 800-meter event and is a seven-time USA Track & Field Champion. To support her active lifestyle, Ajee' takes Thorne's Basic Nutrients 2/Day, a complete multi-vitamin and mineral formula that contains key nutrients for foundational support.
Gail Devers is a retired track and field athlete, three-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time Olympian. She was the last American female to take home Gold in 1996 for the 100-meter dash. In 1991, near the beginning of her career, Devers was diagnosed with Graves' Disease and began radiation treatment as doctors threatened to amputate her feet. Devers recovered to become one of the most dominant sprinters and hurdlers of her time. While no longer competing at the same intensity at age 54, Gail prioritizes staying active and fit, and turns to Thorne for her healthy aging nutrition and recovery regimen, which includes Thorne's Amino Complex, Catalyte and Whey Protein Isolate before, during or after workouts.
Katie Rainsberger is a long-distance runner, 13-time All-American, and a graduate of the University of Washington.
