WHAT IS GABA?<br /><br />GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that occurs naturally in human brain and eyes, where it functions as a inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it regulates brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain. While most neurotransmitters, stimulate neuron firing, GABA may actually help to slows it down. For this reason, GABA is a popular ingredient that may help to lower anxiety and stress. GABA may help your brain activity from moving too quickly, a common experience for people who suffer from anxiety. *<br /><br />CALMING AND RELAXING EFFECT<br /><br />GABA is the primary inhibitory brain chemical that calms the mind and puts the brakes on brain activity when needed. If you are often overwhelmed and stressed out or when your brain gets stuck in the “on” position, you might be deficient in this important neurotransmitter GABA. * GABA slow down neuron firing in the brain and so is essential for feeling happy, calm and relaxed and to lower anxiety and stress. *<br /><br />POSITIVE MOOD AND BETTER SLEEP<br /><br />GABA works with your body’s natural processes to reduce stress and anxiety. * It may also help to ease dull muscle pains and promote relaxation, which in turn makes it easier for you to fall sleep, experience a more restful sleep and maintain a healthy sleep pattern.* GABA promotes a healthy mix of brain chemicals linked to mood promoting positive mood. *<br /><br />ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE AND HEALTHY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT<br /><br />Using GABA also affects glucose synthesis and utilization. * It causes the pancreas to secrete additional insulin, thereby increasing glucose absorption into the cells. * Higher insulin levels may result in an increase in athletic performance improving glucose utilization in the muscles. *<br />When taken before workouts, GABA creates and maintained an anabolic state even after the workout had ended, improving lean muscle growth and recovery times between wo...
