The lineup
NOW Foods is the value workhorse of the category, and the sheer breadth is the headline. One brand covers vitamins, minerals, sports nutrition, herbs, essential oils, and even pantry items like oils and snacks. A lot of it is made in the company's own GMP facilities, and NOW is unusually vocal about its in-house testing lab, which is part of why it has earned trust despite the low prices.
Price and value
This is where NOW wins, the per-serving cost on staples like fish oil, magnesium, and vitamin D is hard to beat. If you are building a basic stack on a budget, it is usually the first place to look.
The catch
The flip side of a catalog this enormous is decision fatigue, there are often several sizes, potencies, and format variants of the same product. It does not carry the premium-tier polish of a Thorne, and that is fine, just know what you are buying. Pin down the exact size and format and scan the allergen statement on the specific listing before you check out.
