Thorne Phytoprofen

Joint stiffness and lingering soreness after a hard training block come from more than one inflammatory pathway at once, which is why a single-ingredient supplement often falls short of covering the full picture.

Thorne built Phytoprofen around this four-ingredient combination specifically for joint comfort, mobility, and recovery from the everyday bumps and bruises that come with an active training schedule.

Each two-capsule serving of Thorne Phytoprofen delivers 250mg each of bromelain, curcumin phytosome, ginger extract, and boswellia extract, four botanicals working through different mechanisms instead of one.

Recovery from more than one angle – Curcumin, ginger, and boswellia support a healthy inflammatory response in joints and muscles, while bromelain separately helps minimize the swelling and bruising that follow a hard fall or bump.

Joint-comfort and bruise healing – Built for joint comfort and mobility, plus recovery from swelling and bruising after a bump or minor injury. The four botanicals work through different mechanisms rather than relying on one..

Easy on your stomach – This formula avoids GI-irritating ingredients, so it's built for regular use without adding extra digestive stress on top of training.

Curcumin, ginger, and boswellia are all long-used botanicals believed to support a healthy cytokine balance, the signaling system your body uses to regulate inflammation. Curcumin is delivered here as a phytosome, bound to phospholipids for better absorption than a standard turmeric extract. Bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme from pineapple, works through a separate pathway tied to reducing swelling and bruising after a blunt injury, and it also helps the other ingredients absorb more effectively. This formula was previously built around picrorhiza and has since been reformulated to use ginger instead.

How to Use Thorne Phytoprofen

Dose: Take two capsules two to three times daily, or as recommended by your health professional.

Pro Tip: Lean toward the higher end of that range (three times daily) when joint comfort and recovery demand are at their highest, then scale back to a lower frequency for general maintenance.

Bromelain has fibrinolytic effects, so avoid this product if you're on anticoagulant therapy or have upcoming surgery. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
