The 2026 Hype: Why Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day?
In 2026, Thorne remains the gold standard for supplement purity. Their Basic Nutrients 2/Day formula is trending globally because it eliminates the need for a handful of pills by packing highly bioavailable vitamins and minerals into just two capsules. For health-conscious residents in Switzerland, the demand for NSF-certified supplements has never been higher, yet local availability remains inconsistent and expensive.

The Price Gap: USA vs. Switzerland
It is no secret that high-end wellness products carry a heavy "Swiss tax." Buying Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day locally can cost up to 50-80% more than the US retail price. Savvy shoppers are bypassing local pharmacies and using a freight forwarder to access US storefronts like iHerb, Amazon US, or Thorne’s own website. By utilizing a tax-free US address, you effectively cut out the middleman and secure the lowest possible base price.
Speed Run: How to Buy from US Stores Today
Getting your supplements shouldn't be a logistical nightmare. Here is the step-by-step guide to the fastest delivery:
- Step 1: Register for a comGateway account to get your personal US shipping address.
- Step 2: Shop at major US retailers and enter your comGateway address at checkout.
- Step 3: Once your Thorne capsules arrive at the warehouse, use the international shipping service to send them to your doorstep in Zurich, Geneva, or anywhere in Switzerland.
Logistics & Shipping Estimates for Switzerland
Before you checkout, it is vital to understand the logistics of shipping supplements. Use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote, but here are the general estimates for Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day:
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) per bottle. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 5 x 3 x 3 inches). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. This item is dense and small; you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than volume. |
| Battery Check | None. This product contains no lithium batteries. |
Pro Tip: To maximize your international shipping value, bundle 3-4 bottles together. The shipping cost for one bottle is often nearly the same as three due to base courier rates.
Bypass Store Blocks with BuyForMe
Some US-based health stores are notoriously difficult for international shoppers. They may block international credit cards or cancel orders flagged as going to a parcel forwarding service. If you find your order being repeatedly declined, comGateway’s "BuyForMe" service is the solution.
With "BuyForMe," a dedicated purchasing agent uses a US-registered card and domestic billing address to buy the Thorne supplements on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order isn't cancelled and ensures you don't miss out on US-only sales. Just provide the product link, and the proxy shopping service handles the rest.
Switzerland Customs and Import Duties
When importing to Switzerland, you must be aware of import duties and VAT. As of 2026, Switzerland applies a standard VAT rate, but there is often a de minimis threshold where small value shipments may be exempt from certain fees. However, supplements must not contain prohibited items such as certain controlled substances. Thorne products generally comply with Swiss standards, but always check the current list of restricted goods before shipping large quantities.
