GABA is popular with athletes, who wish to build up strength and muscles and to achieve a fast regeneration

What is GABA?

GABA is the abbreviation of gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is an amine of butyric acid and belongs to the non-proteinogenic amino acids.
In the body, it is produced from glutamic acid.

Function of GABA

The development and function of the human brain is crucially dependent on the availability of GABA. Furthermore, it is the most important inhibitory (repressive) neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

GABA for athletes

For athletes, who wish to build up strength, reduce fat and a fast recovery, GABA is an ideal supplement. It should preferably be consumed during a period of high training frequency.

GABA and sleep

The amino acid GABA is able to shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and to improve the sleep quality by slowing the impulse transmission between cells, which promotes the muscle relaxation.

GABA supports learning

In an international cooperation study with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, neuroscientists of the Ruhr University of Bochum found out in 2015 that the baseline concentration of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain affects learning outcomes.
