Our Verdict
Thorne Catalyte is a comprehensive electrolyte + B vitamin + taurine formula backed by NSF Certified for Sport testing -- the gold standard for tested athletes. The use of TRAACS chelated minerals and active B vitamin forms (methylcobalamin, P5P, L-5-MTHF) reflects pharmaceutical-grade formulation. Weaknesses include tapioca maltodextrin and silicon dioxide as fillers, relatively low potassium (96mg), and the premium price compared to simpler formulas.
