GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is a non-essential amino acid found mainly in the human brain and eyes. It is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it regulates brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain. GABA is referred to as the "brain's natural calming agent". By inhibiting over-stimulation of the brain, GABA may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension.* NOW® provides only the naturally occurring form as found in food and in the body.
Comments about NOW Foods GABA + B6, 500/2mg, Capsules:
This supplement is great for a good sleep. Try not to take it to take a nap because that will turn into a VERY LONG NAP. You will not want to wake up but that may be because I took 3 before the nap. I would suggest this item if you just want to relax. It keeps your body feel a bit heavy when you lay down so it makes you not want to get up. I like the product and its a good tension relaxer
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily as needed, preferably with juice or water on an empty stomach. Consider taking this product in combination with NOW® Taurine, Relora® and Magnesium.
