Pure Encapsulations, O.N.E.™ Multivitamin, 60 Capsules vs Thorne, Basic Nutrients 2/Day, 60 Capsules: Multivitamin Comparison
Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day vs Pure Encapsulations O.N.E.: Chelated Mineral Foundation or Antioxidant CoQ10 Convenience?
Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day vs Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. — Chelates, Vitamin K, and Antioxidant Extras
Basic Nutrients 2/Day
Thorne is the “foundation-first” pick: a 2-capsule formula with stronger chelated mineral engineering (higher chelate coverage, plus chelated zinc and copper) and built-in vitamin K. Bioavailability Index is higher (4.54), and it fits users who prioritize mineral form quality and a more complete base profile. Tradeoffs: fewer “extra” antioxidants (no CoQ10 panel) and a higher cost per serving.
O.N.E Multivitamin
Pure O.N.E. is the “antioxidant + convenience” pick: 1 capsule daily, hypoallergenic positioning, and a clearly defined add-on panel (CoQ10 with sustained-release MicroActive® complex, ALA, lutein/zeaxanthin). Bioavailability Index is strong (4.33) and the price-per-serving is better, but the mineral side is lighter (lower chelate coverage) and zinc is citrate-based, with no copper included — a real compromise for a premium-tier multi.
Bottom line: Choose Thorne if you want the strongest chelated-mineral foundation plus vitamin K; choose Pure O.N.E. if you want once-daily simplicity and a stronger antioxidant/CoQ10-driven profile — accepting a thinner mineral strategy.
