2/7/2022 • Thorne

From playing in the NFL to keeping healthy in retirement, James explains why he turns to Thorne to support his health. “I first heard of Thorne and began to use products during my time with New England. The team nutritionist handed out samples of Thorne supplements to the team and spoke of their high quality and safety,” he says.

James Develin

My name is James Devlin. I was a fullback for the New England Patriots for eight years.

Description

James Develin, bearded and wearing a stocking hat, stares into the camera in the middle of a practice field. The sky above is overcast and drizzly. Short clips show him running football drills, throwing a ball, and completing a handoff from a teammate, while his voiceover begins. Seated inside the locker room, he talks directly to the camera.

James Develin

Back in New England, our nutritionist there was big on Thorne, and he kind of introduced the entire team. Supplements and vitamins are really an important part of our nutritional plans, to kind of get Thorne into an NFL locker room. The NSF certification, that is huge because it needs to be safe.

Description

Away from the outdoor drills, James conditions his body in the weight room, working out with battle ropes and free weights. On a workout bench sit a collection of Thorne products, Super EPA, Vanilla Flavored Whey Protein Isolate, Basic Nutrients 2/Day, Lemon Flavored Amino Complex, NiaCell 400, and D-5000. He pushes through a series of standing barbell maneuvers and bench press.

We need to be sure that what we're putting in our bodies is clean. Thorne really helped me out. The things that they offer, whether it's at-home testing, to identify what are your deficiencies, what do you need to work on nutritionally, supplementally.

Description

James takes a drink of Amino Complex from a Thorne water bottle. Returning to his routine, he performs a plate push across the weight room, and a set of pullups and pushups, working up a visible sweat. In the locker room again, he addresses the camera.

James Develin

Make sure I was on top of all my vitamins, amino complexes for my muscles to rebuild as fast as possible. I feel just generally healthier, more energetic.

In a closeup on his hands, James examines a few Thorne products, shaking out a few capsules of Super EPA and NiaCel 400. Back outside on the football field, he runs a knee drill. A Thorne shaker bottle sits on the benches, full of Lemon Amino Complex. Mixing the drink well, he takes a refreshing drink. Short sequences show James during fast-paced exercises, running on the field and up the bleachers.

James Develin

So I recommend Thorne to, really, anybody trying to just live a happy life.

As the video ends, James faces the camera, football in hand. He tosses it around, before throwing it off screen, smiling wide. Thorne’s logo and Web address erupt across the screen as the music ends.
