Looking to develop and commercialize innovative and scientifically validated botanical dietary supplements, Thorne Research, Inc., Sandpoint, ID, and Indena, Milan, Italy, have formed a strategic research, commercial, and scientific cooperation. Through this agreement, Indena will offer some of its current products and develop innovative, clinically-validated botanical ingredients for dietary supplements to be manufactured and marketed to licensed healthcare practitioners exclusively by Thorne in one or more specific therapeutic areas. Idb Holding, the parent company to Indena, will become a minority shareholder in Thorne Holding, the investment arm of Thorne Research.
Products developed through this collaboration will focus on specific health needs such as cancer support and diabetes. This cooperation will also support Thorne’s established alliances with Helsinn Pharmaceuticals and Integrative Health Resources through development and distribution of products and educational, scientific, and technical information for both patients and healthcare providers. Indena will also become a contributing partner to the medical portal Healthelements.com for both product quality assessment programs, and safety and activity related information.
