Product Reviews
A targeted probiotic blend clinically demonstrated to support mood.
Benefits and Features
- Powered by Ecologic BARRIER, a 5B CFU blend of 9 probiotic strains
- Protected by PROBIOACT Technology for optimal efficacy and shelf-stability
- Hypoallergenic, non-GMO powder in single-serving sachets
Clinically shown to support positive mood by influencing the gut-brain axis through the microbiome.
Detail Overview
Target gb-X is a probiotic supplement specifically designed to support positive mood by influencing the gut-brain axis through the microbiome. It is powered by Ecologic BARRIER, a 5B CFU blend of 9 probiotic strains, that has been clinically shown to decrease overall cognitive reactivity to sad mood, rumination, negative thoughts, and aggressive thoughts. Heightened cognitive reactivity to sad mood is an established risk factor for more serious mood alterations in otherwise healthy individuals and is therefore considered an important target for interventions.
Target gb-X Mechanism
Target gb-X with Ecologic BARRIER was specifically designed to influence the gut-brain axis through defined mechanisms including strengthening of the gut barrier function, modulation of cytokines and inflammatory response, production of potentially neuroprotective metabolites, and HPA regulation. Preclinical research emphasized a pronounced shift away from macrophage-produced cytokines to T-lymphocyte-produced cytokines, a reduction in circulating lipopolysaccharide endotoxins, and a marked reduction in transcription of hippocampal genes related to HPA regulation.
Probiotics and the Gut-Brain Axis
The gut-brain axis refers to the bidirectional communication network between the central and autonomic nervous systems and the intestines. Gut-brain communications are mediated by the immune system, endocrine connections such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and neural pathways involving the enteric nervous system. The gut microbiota is now known to play a pivotal role in gut-brain communications. It is a complex interaction whereas the microbiota engages locally with intestinal cells as well as communicating directly with the central nervous system through neuroendocrine, immune, and metabolic pathways. Research into gut-brain mechanisms is rapidly expanding our understanding and serves to inform the development of targeted probiotic formulations.

Let customers speak for us
from 909 reviewsBrian
I have been a long time customer, going back to when it was The Apothecary. The store has always had a wide selection of high quality supplements. Brian, who is the manager, always waits on me and is highly knowledgeable of all the ingredients and how they help the body. If he doesn't know something he doesn't make it up on the fly but takes the time to look it up so the customer gets the right information. He saves me countless time by finding everything on my long list of supplements every time I come in. You don't get service like this anymore. Even though I fight the traffic coming in from Virginia, it is well worth the drive.
I’ve used this floss forever. It is effective and earth friendly.

GABA MAX Powder:)
GABA MAX is great. I’ve been using it as needed for over 12 years for moderate anxiety or to relax in the evening after a busy day. It’s way better than alcohol for me!
An exceptional, but hard-to-find product
TheraZinc is perfect for my needs. It is a zinc spray I can use for sore throat as well as for strengthening my immune system.
I can't tolerate products containing sugar & TheraZinc is the only such product that is sugar free.
I like the small travel size too!
Been using it for years. My stand-by gut magic.

THORNE RESEARCH
5-Hydroxytryptophan
1 review
$37.00
$39.00
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite produced when the body initiates the process of converting the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to serotonin. Serotonin levels in the body are associated with the regulation of sleep, mood, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.*
Supplementing with 5-HTP to facilitate serotonin production is preferable to supplementing with L-tryptophan because, unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP cannot be shunted into niacin or protein production.* Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of L-tryptophan into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin and a step that can be inhibited by a number of factors, including stress, insulin resistance, increasing age, and deficiencies of vitamin C, folate, and iron.
5-HTP is well absorbed when taken orally, with about 70 percent ending up in the bloodstream.*
Intestinal absorption of 5-HTP does not require the presence of a transport molecule and is not affected by the presence of other amino acids; therefore, it may be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.* 5-HTP easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and effectively increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin.*
5-HTP has been shown to have a beneficial impact on mood, discomfort associated with fatigue, sleep, and carbohydrate craving.* Numerous studies of individuals with negative mood status have shown significant positive response with 50-300 mg of 5-HTP daily.*
To further facilitate serotonin production, Thorne Research's 5-HTP formula contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.* 5-HTP is commercially produced by extraction from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.
Two Capsules Contain: Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate) 6.8 mg. 5-Hydroxytryptophan 100 mg.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Silicon Dioxide.

Promotes lean muscle mass and strength, and enhances energy production
Amino Complex is a comprehensive blend of essential amino acids. It is best taken after a workout to help trigger the recovery process. NSF Certified for Sport®
Amino Complex is NSF Certified for Sport®. It supports sports-related, fitness-related, and training-related activities, and it promotes the increase of muscle mass for someone needing that benefit, including the elderly. Amino acid supplementation can decrease fat synthesis, improve redox status, and promote energy production via activation of NRF-2 and PGC-1alpha. Amino acids also promote mitochondrial biogenesis – the body's internal production of energy. The comprehensive blend of essential amino acids in Amino Complex is high in branched-chain amino acids, a group of amino acids that have been validated through numerous clinical trials to promote the growth of lean muscle mass and enhance muscle strength. This active ingredient formulation in Amino Complex is backed by more than 25 years of scientific and clinical research. Amino Complex comes in two flavors, lemon and berry, and is lightly sweetened. It mixes easily with warm or cold liquids, has no artificial sweeteners, and contains flavors only derived from natural sources.
Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.
Mix 1 scoop with 6 ounces of water one to two times daily or as recommended by your health professional.
