Well-Researched Benefits
Clinical studies show the natural form of GABA in Thorne’s PharmaGABA decreases the brain’s stress-related beta waves and increases the production of its alpha-waves, creating a sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus.* Other studies show reduced pupil diameter, heart rate, and two natural biomarkers of stress – salivary cortisol and chromogranin A – all signs of relaxation.*

Clinically Studied
In a recent study of the effect of GABA supplementation on muscle mass, 21 males, average age 39, who did not exercise regularly, were given 10 grams of whey protein or 10 grams of whey protein plus 100 mg of PharmaGABA daily for 12 weeks. Both groups participated in twice weekly 60-minute strength training sessions that consisted of leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, chest presses, and pull-downs. Statistically significant increases in total body lean muscle mass was observed in the whey protein-plus-PharmaGABA group but not in the whey-only group.*

Purest Ingredients
The natural GABA in Thorne’s PharmaGABA suite is produced via a fermentation process that utilizes Lactobacillus hilgardii, the same bacteria strain used to ferment cabbage in the preparation of the traditional Korean dish, kimchi.

Convenient Protocol
PharmaGABA-250 offers 250 mg of natural GABA per capsule and is non-habit forming.

sleep
Sleep isn’t just about “getting a good night’s rest.” New information regularly emerges about sleep’s importance to disease prevention, cognitive function, mood, athletic performance, and even maintaining a healthy weight. The adverse health conditions that can occur with chronically poor sleep include diabetes, obesity, infertility, heart disease, sleep apnea, and more. Unfortunately, even though we might be eating right, exercising, and making healthy decisions, we might be neglecting our sleep. In fact, more than 40 percent of U.S. adults don’t get the ideal amount of sleep each night.

One great strategy to get a good night’s sleep is to supplement with nutrients that support sleep’s natural triggers and reduce stress in the body.* Thorne offers supplements that support healthy sleep.*

Innovative solutions
When the highest standards have been met, Thorne creates higher ones.

Sourcing Exceptional Ingredients
We develop better standards for higher quality ingredients. Thorne cares deeply about where our ingredients come from. We partner only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality, science, and responsibility. Better ingredients means better potency, absorption, and digestibility – and ultimately better health.

Manufacturing the Right Way
We manufacture our own products to ensure full supply chain transparency. For more than 30 years, we have invested in clean manufacturing practices. We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified.

Four Rounds of Testing
We run four rounds of testing for each of our products. We have invested in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories that allow us to conduct four rounds of testing, while most competitors test only one or two times. We test our raw materials, in-process batches, finish products, and product stability for each product.

Thinking Sustainably
We’re thinking sustainably to protect our environment. We believe the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain. At Thorne, we believe that doing our part to protect the environment and its most valuable resources goes hand in hand with our product quality standards.
