Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a naturally occurring amino acid produced in the brain. It is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not involved in protein synthesis. GABA acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, helping to regulate neuronal excitability and maintain a balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals.

Function

1. Stress and Anxiety Relief: GABA supplements are often used to support relaxation and promote a sense of calmness. They may help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and nervousness by modulating brain activity and promoting a balanced mood.

2. Sleep Aid: GABA is crucial for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. It is involved in facilitating sleep and improving sleep quality. Consequently, GABA supplements are used by individuals who struggle with insomnia or have difficulty falling asleep.
3. Cognitive Support: GABA is believed to influence cognitive function by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain. Although further research is needed, GABA supplements are sometimes used to support cognitive performance, memory, and focus.
4. Muscle Relaxation: GABA's inhibitory effects extend beyond the brain. It can also help promote muscle relaxation and reduce muscle tension. GABA creams or topical formulations are sometimes used to alleviate muscle soreness or stiffness.
5. Blood Pressure Regulation: Preliminary research suggests that GABA may have a beneficial effect on blood pressure regulation. It may help lower high blood pressure by promoting vasodilation and reducing stress-related responses.
