While this appears similar to The Virgin Diet All-in-One Shake, there is actually a Thorne research product better than both. I purchased and compared all three products (Virgin Diet All-In-One-Shake, Thorne Research All-In-One Shake, and Thorne Research VegaLite).Comparisons:#1 You get the same amount of protein in ONE level scoop of VegaLite (21g) as you do in TWO scoops of All-In-One (22g)#2 More carbs! The All-In-One has more carbs (14g) compared to the VegaLite (5g)#3 More fiber! The All-In-One has more fiber (6g) compared to the VegaLite (0g)#4 Less sodium! The All-In-One has less sodium (350mg) compared to VegaLite (420mg)#5 Taste: both products taste the same. Pea powder with a chocolate flavoring is my best description. You'll get used to it.The All-In-One is good if you are looking for fiber and less sodium. The VegaLite is good if you want to save money, you'll need HALF the amount that you need to use with All-In-One. Therefore, you'll need to reorder All-In-One twice as often. If you do not have Amazon Prime then you are also paying shipping costs, an added expense.My recommendation is the Thorne Research VegaLite Chocolate flavor. When I drink the VegaLite (my preference over the All-In-One-Shake) I use two scoops VegaLite, 2 Tbsp. PB2 Powdered Chocolate Peanut Butter 2 and flaxseed for fiber. My result is that I get 47g protein and 10g carbs in each drink. I'm following the JJ Virgin elimination diet (no gluten, dairy, soy, etc) along with high protein, low carb eating. I mix this together using the Blender Bottle, for a meal replacement.
I compaired the ingredence to JJ Virgin"s shake and it is identical. So for those of you, like myself, that are on her fabulous diet, this is good to know. Shipping is much faster ( three days, not 10) and about $6.00 less for shipping. A win-win!
I love all three of these shakes (they are just barely different by a few milligrams of one ingredient each!), so I just buy whichever one is cheaper at the time. Since I can get Thorne sent free by Amazon Prime, I usually buy this one. I like chocolate, so I always get that flavor. Mixed with fruit, ice, coconut milk, flax and this mix, mixed up in my Vitamix mixer....it is like a delicious smoothie treat. The Vitamix (highly, highly recommended) is essential for making the version I drink the most...banana, flax, ice, coconut milk, kale, cilantro, and this mix. It comes out so creamy and smooth, just delicious to drink, and it keeps me full for about 4 hours.**UPDATE: Since I bought this in April the price of the Thorne Shake has increased $8...what's up with that? Possibly big complaints from JJ Virgin and Sara Gottfried that they were being undercut $9-10 by the manufacturer of their shakes? I'm sorry for us consumers to see this "price fixing".

I was taking an Alive men's multivitamin for years and its nutrition facts compared similarly to the Thorne Research Elite multivitamins. I was recommended to try these vitamins from a group of people through a men's blog and holy smokes do I feel the difference! These are the real deal! Although they're very expensive for a month's supply, they are worth every penny.With the AM vitamins I feel better, have WAY more energy throughout the day, and my mind has been so much sharper (which is critical working in the administrative law profession); and I mean it's very noticeable.With the PM vitamins I've been sleeping much better and when I wake up in the morning I feel so much more rested than I'm used to.Simply amazing! You will not regret this purchase, I will be a customer for life.
My lab tests came back that I was deficient or borderline deficient in 9 different vitamins and minerals. So I figured I best get a quality multi-vitamin. I have taken vitamins from the retail vitamin stores but I was still deficient. So this time, I thought I would look for a more higher quality vitamin supplement. Thorne seems to be a name that keeps coming up of being high quality and one that holistic doctors, medical doctors etc recommend. I have just been on these for 3 days and I do feel so much better. I am extremely focused when I am working on the computer all day, not nearly so fatigued and just have a general overall well being that is much better. I look forward to seeing the effects of these after a month. I am definately going to be reordering when I run out of this. I like the fact as well, I have only two bottles of vitamins. Take 3 tablets from each bottle in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. When you are so deficient in so many things, taking a whole handful of pills a couple of times a day was not exactly exciting to think about. I am sure glad I found this type and this brand and how they are put together in this just two bottles.
I'm only taking 1 am and 1 pm so far for the past 2 weeks and it's a big improvement over the last multi vitamins. I have more energy and even my blood sugar dropped (the folate, b1 and chromium helped with that I think). The am pill stinks by the way, I guess it's an effect from the ingredients used for the best absorption rate, but that is the only small nitpicking I have.I do have to use 2 separate 60% supplements for calcium and magnesium since those are lacking and with my diet, I'm reducing the cals from dairy and nuts.Overall, I think the reviews that called this the best multi vitamins are accurate, though the price may put some people off. Even at 1/1 pills a day instead of 3, I still think this is the best you can get.
