Multi-Vitamin Elite Ingredients

A line-by-line look at what's inside Thorne Multi-Vitamin Elite A.M. & P.M. (VM114NC), including active components and excipients.

Multi-Vitamin Elite is a deliberately complex formula because it is doing two jobs in two bottles. The A.M. bottle is built around the active forms of B vitamins (methylcobalamin, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, P-5-P, riboflavin-5-phosphate), plus a polyphenol-and-quercetin profile pitched at metabolic and cardiovascular support. The P.M. bottle carries the bulk minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese) and the antioxidants the body needs overnight (mixed tocopherols, alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, vitamin K2). The VM114NC SKU is copper-free; the standard Multi-Vitamin Elite carries copper bisglycinate at a small dose. Excipients are minimal and consistent across the Thorne line.

Active Ingredients

The active ingredients split across two bottles. The A.M. bottle is the activator profile; the P.M. bottle is the recovery and mineral repletion profile.

• A.M. — vitamin A (mixed beta-carotene + retinyl palmitate), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), B-complex in active forms (riboflavin-5-phosphate, P-5-P, methylcobalamin, methylfolate, niacinamide, biotin, pantethine), choline, inositol, green-tea polyphenols (decaffeinated), quercetin
• P.M. — vitamin D3, vitamin E (mixed tocopherols), vitamin K2 (MK-4 and MK-7), calcium (citrate-malate), magnesium (citrate-malate), zinc (bisglycinate), selenium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, boron, alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin
• VM114NC variant — copper is omitted entirely (the standard Multi-Vitamin Elite includes copper bisglycinate)
• No iron — Multi-Vitamin Elite is iron-free in both bottles, which is appropriate for most adult men and post-menopausal women
• Methylation-aware dosing — methylcobalamin and methylfolate are used in modest, physiologic doses rather than the high pharmacologic doses some MTHFR-protocol products use

Other Ingredients (Excipients)

Thorne uses a minimal excipient profile across the Multi-Vitamin Elite line: hypromellose capsule shells (vegetarian), microcrystalline cellulose, leucine, and silicon dioxide. No magnesium stearate, no titanium dioxide, no synthetic colorants, no shellac glazes, and no gluten. The capsules are vegetarian-suitable. Thorne publishes a full excipient list per SKU on their website and updates lot-level documentation through the practitioner channel.

Allergens and Sensitivities

Multi-Vitamin Elite is labeled gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. The capsule shell is plant-derived hypromellose. The A.M. bottle's green-tea extract is decaffeinated (residual caffeine is typically under 5 mg per serving, below the threshold most caffeine-sensitive users notice). The formula is appropriate for vegetarians; vegans should confirm the current vitamin D3 source with Thorne support — historically Thorne has offered both lanolin-derived and lichen-derived D3 across the catalog. NSF Certified for Sport status is meaningful for athletes screening for banned substances.

Sourcing and Quality Notes

Thorne is headquartered in Summerville, South Carolina, and manufactures in-house. The company holds NSF Certified for Sport status across most of its catalog, which is a third-party certification that the product matches the label and does not contain athletic-banned substances. The TGA registration (Australia's pharmaceutical regulator) is more rigorous than the US-only GMP standard and shows up on Thorne marketing for a reason. Multi-Vitamin Elite has been a stable SKU in the Thorne catalog for years; reformulations happen but are infrequent and disclosed on the product page.
