Now Foods GABA Amino Acid (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) 500 mg 200 Softgels (733739000880)

Gamma-aminobutyric acid, abbreviated as GABA, is an amino acid produced in the brain. It is formed by glutamic acid in the body with the help of vitamin B6 and prevents the burning of nerve cells.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid supports the nervous system, protecting nerve cells and having a calming effect. It serves as a neurotransmitter, a chemical messenger that carries information between nerve cells. GABA is found in large quantities in the hypothalamus. This means that this amino acid plays a critical role in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is an area at the back of the brain that regulates instinctive functions such as sleep cycles, body temperature, and pituitary gland activity. The pituitary gland, in turn, is the main endocrine gland, which covers all hormonal functions of the body.

Indications for use:

• Take 1 capsule 2 - 3 times a day on an empty stomach.
