GABA 500 mg, 100 capsules – NOW Foods

GABA, short for gamma-aminobutyric acid (gamma-aminobutyric acid), is a so-called butyric acid that is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. A neurotransmitter is what sends signals between our nerve cells. If it is inhibitory, it means that it slows down the impulses from one nerve cell to another, leading to a calmer activity that prevents our nerve cells from being overstimulated. Prolonged stress, sleep deprivation or poor dietary habits can cause the nervous system to become imbalanced, resulting in low doses of GABA.

What is GABA good for?

GABA can be a great supplement if you suffer from stress or sleep problems as it has a calming effect on the nervous system. If you exercise a lot or are often on the go, GABA is also good. In training, recovery is of great importance. If the body does not have time to recover between workouts, it does not have time to repair and rebuild muscles. Good recovery and good sleep often result in both better training sessions and better performance. GABA helps you unwind in the evenings and sleep better. Bodybuilders have long used GABA to help with recovery.

Other things GABA can help with are:
– Can reduce stress, worry and anxiety
– Can reduce muscle cramps
– May stimulate our natural growth hormone
– Can speed up our recovery
– Can lower blood pressure
