NOW Foods GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) Powder, 170 g

Key Benefits of GABA Supplementation

GABA acts as a calming neurotransmitter, helping to regulate nerve excitability. Supplementing with GABA may assist in:

• Promoting a feeling of calm and relaxation – By encouraging balanced brain activity, GABA may help reduce occasional stress and support a sense of wellbeing.
• Helping ease nervous tension – Many users report feeling more at ease during stressful situations.
• Supporting restful sleep – GABA’s calming influence may promote healthy sleep patterns when taken before bed.

These statements are based on traditional use and research on GABA’s role in the nervous system. Individual results may vary.

How to Use GABA Powder

The recommended dosage is 1/4 level teaspoon 2 to 3 times daily, preferably on an empty stomach. Stir the powder into water or your favourite beverage. It mixes easily and has a neutral taste. Start with a lower dose to assess your tolerance. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before use. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

What Is GABA?

GABA, short for gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a naturally occurring amino acid that primarily functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It is well-known for its calming properties, as it helps to reduce neuronal excitability. By supporting balanced brain activity, GABA may promote relaxation and help manage occasional stress. NOW Foods provides a pure powder form of the naturally occurring L-isomer of GABA, identical to that found in food and the human body.
