As part of the partnership, Thorne Research will provide USA Taekwondo athletes with products that have the highest level of certification, baseline nutritional level testing through WellnessFX, educational materials, and risk protection. 

In addition, athletes will have access to reliable health information from Mayo Clinic, which has been compiled for easy access on the Thorne Research web site. 

This content helps athletes evaluate supplement usage and understanding of supplement labels, manufacturing and regulations, all provided by an objective resource. 

"USA Taekwondo is excited to partner with Thorne Research and we look forward to collaborating to enhance the health and well-being of our membership and athletes," said Keith Ferguson, the executive director of USA Taekwondo.  

"From nutritional supplements designed for elite athletes looking to compete on the world’s highest stages to protein shakes to multi-vitamins, Thorne Research has products that can benefit all levels of athletes."

USA Taekwondo members attending next month’s National Championships will be able to visit the Thorne Research stand in the FanZone area to talk to representatives about the product, find out more about how an effective supplement routine can give them a competitive edge, and refuel between matches with some free Catalyte, an electrolyte beverage. 

"Taekwondo is an extremely demanding sport both physically and mentally," said Paul Jacobson, chief executive of Thorne Research.

"Not only is it physically demanding, it also requires competitors to synchronize their mind and body. 

"Thorne Research is extremely proud to partner with USA Taekwondo and to ensure that our nutritional supplements help competitors achieve maximum performance through the same scientific approach that it takes to win on the international stage."

The company already has similar deals with USA Gymnastics, USA Pentathlon, USA Rugby and USA Triathlon.
