The pesticide glyphosate has been in the news a lot lately, and we understand people’s legitimate concerns about it. Thorne is constantly evaluating the available methods for testing botanical ingredients for the presence of pesticides, including glyphosate. Currently, the methods to test for the presence of glyphosate are relatively new and not always 100-percent accurate, and we have not yet found a test method we are absolutely confident in. Thorne wants to give you the most accurate information, which we do for those botanical ingredients we test for 70 other pesticides and pesticide families. We anticipate we will eventually adopt a satisfactory test for glyphosate, allowing us to include it in our already extensive testing program.
