Neurotransmitters are chemicals that make it possible for the brain to communicate with itself.
They ferry messages from one brain cell to the other. GBE can normalize or boost the levels of certain neurotransmitters. Many researchers believe that a deficiency of neurotransmitters may play a role in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and depression. There have been a number of clinical studies using GBE over the past decades. The abstract notes that statistical analysis of the data suggests that GBE had a beneficial effect on cognitive function.
