Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, or GABA, is a non-essential amino acid found
in high concentrations in the brain and eyes. GABA is formed from
glutamic acid with the aid of Vitamin B6. Usually the brain is capable
of producing sufficient GABA but due to a variety of environmental or
health reasons levels can drop. The result can be anxiety,
irritability, or insomnia. Low GABA levels have also been associated
with depression.
GABA
is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous
system. In this role it helps prevent transmission of messages from one
cell to another. This means GABA can help prevent anxiety or
stress-related messages from reaching the brain. GABA plays a key role
in how the central nervous system responds to stressful situation. GABA
can help encourage relaxation and sleep.
GABA also affects the anterior pituitary gland prompting it to release
more Human Growth Hormone (HGH). HGH contributes to muscle growth and
limits the development of fat cells. Regular GABA supplementation led
to excess fat loss in some studies. Many people over 40 see levels of
HGH drop and may experience sleep problems. GABA may help improve HGH
levels leading to better sleep. Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily as needed, preferably with juice or water on an empty stomach.
