100% pure gamma-aminobutyric acid without any additives

In the human brain there are various neurotransmitters that dominate mental mood. They have the ability to control whether we are happy, sad, anxious, depressed or relaxed. Each neurotransmitter has its own specific role in the way it affects mood, and a balance of each is necessary for you to feel comfortable.

GABA, short for gamma-aminobutyric acid, is the body's calming signal. Its main function is to reduce the activity of nerve cells in the nervous system. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is said to have natural calming properties by reducing neuronal excitability. The body naturally produces GABA itself.

Tip for combination: GABA with magnesium and vitamin B6

Magnesium is important for the function of GABA. A balanced magnesium level, either through food or dietary supplements, can help increase GABA levels.
Vitamin B6 catalyses the production of GABA. Meeting vitamin B6 needs through nutrition can help ensure an adequate level of this neurotransmitter.

History of GABA

Although GABA was first synthesised in 1883, it was initially known only as a vegetable and microbial metabolic product.

In fact, its importance has only been recognised in recent years. It was first discovered in tissue in 1910 and found in mammalian brains around 1950, when interest in its potential effect as a neurotransmitter peaked.

It was not until 1968 that scientists finally found proof that it was a true neurotransmitter. Over the following decades, GABA became the subject of extensive research that attempted to understand its role in the body.

Science is still working to uncover the potential effects of this vital neurotransmitter. The effects affect many aspects of health, from sleep quality to the regulation of emotions. GABA is said to be like yoga for the soul.
