Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers found throughout the central nervous system and various organs. They contribute to the smooth running of vital functions, and one of their most important roles is the regulation of mood. Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its signals protect against hyperstimulation or excitation of the brain, creating an important calming effect for mood, sleep, chronic stress and brain function. GABA is a natural remedy for improving and maintaining optimal mental health.
GABA has been studied for its effects in people who suffer from chronic anxiety and insomnia because they cannot “turn off” their thoughts at night (also called “monkey mind”). It is effective for reducing stress and anxiety; it has been shown to help you fall asleep faster. It directly affects the brain by increasing brain waves associated with relaxation (alpha waves) and reducing brain waves associated with worry and stress (beta waves).
GABA is a naturally produced neurotransmitter present in the body; it offers a safe alternative to medications for anxiety disorders. Anxiolytics like benzodiazepines can become addictive, a risk that does not exist with GABA supplementation. AOR's GABA™ formula provides 600 mg of pharmaceutical grade gamma aminobutyric acid, with a purity level of over 99%.
