GABA & Brainwaves

GABA was one of my saviors with my brain-waves.  For many years I was dealing with way too much stress, confusion and depression.  And because I only use natural products to support my body this product was perfect for me. 

Enjoy this part of your journey!!

GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is one of the most important amino acids produced within our bodies.  It’s synthesized from Glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter essential for good brain function.

GABA benefits are numerous, ranging from improving moods, ability to focus, promoting relaxation and helping to control stress, along with helping our bodies make endorphins.

How GABA works:

In brains GABA acts as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter working to calm neurons that are mis-firing.  It counterbalances those neurons by helping to ensure that the brain does not become over-stimulated or anxious.  

When GABA levels are low, an excitatory neurotransmitter can fire too often in the brain without any inhibition. GABA works as a support in the brain’s neurotransmission, carrying signals from neuron to neuron.

Although many of the known neurotransmitters function are both excitatory and inhibitory, GABA is unique in that it functions in the brain as the primary inhibitor and calming agent for excitatory neurotransmitters.  It has been referred to as ‘nature’s valium’ because of the calming effect it can exert.

Some Top GABA Benefits:

Many links have been established between low GABA levels and people who have:

• Depression issues
• ADHD or ADD – inability to focus or maintain attention
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Drug and alcohol addictions
• Epileptic attacks

GABA has a calming and soothing effect on the brain when it’s over-excited, which contributes to a person’s sense of well-being.

What’s Recommended – 

I recommend GABA POWDER (not capsules) – Using the Powder and drinking it down, allows the GABA to go directly into the bloodstream. 

Capsules need to digest in the stomach which minimizes the full potency of the GABA to cross through the blood-brain barrier, which is what enhances the cognitive functioning of the brain. 

Word of CAUTION – If taken in VERY high doses consistency the body may  starts taking on the opposite effect of the benefits it can give (i.e. over 4500ml a day taken).

Companies I use;

1. Bulk Supplements Pure GABA Powder — 1/4tsp = 750mg: Amazon Link
2. NOW Foods Gaba Pure Powder, 6oz — 1/4tsp = 500mg: Amazon Link
