GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system.<sup>23</sup> One of its main roles in the body is to reduce nervous system excitability, helping you calm down. Without enough GABA, excitatory neurotransmitters — like adrenaline — can go unchecked. This can leave you feeling overstimulated and stressed out.
5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid that acts as a precursor to serotonin. That's the body’s “feel-good hormone.” These two supplements work great individually. But research shows that taking them together helps improve sleep quality and total sleep quantity, or number of hours slept.<sup>22</sup>
Mag R&R contains 100 mg each of GABA and 5-HTP to help you get to sleep more quickly and stay asleep through the night.
