Gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) is one of the main inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, balancing the excitatory effects of glutamate on neuronal activity. The inhibitory effects of GABA are generally considered to decrease anxiety, release muscle tension, and have sedative-like effects. Additionally, conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and epilepsy have all been associated with low GABA concentration or activity. GABA has also been shown to cause a significant increase in alpha brain waves compared to control, indicating a more relaxed state, as well as improved concentration. In a clinical trial involving patients with vertigo, GABA-Pro was found to increase salivary IgA levels when crossing a suspension bridge, compared to the control group whose salivary IgA levels dropped by 35%.4 This demonstrates the stress-reducing effect of GABA-Pro.
Increasing GABA activity is also a therapeutic target for many drugs used in the treatment of insomnia, often by targeting GABA receptors. This has the effect of reducing the number of awakenings, shortening sleep latency and increasing slow-wave sleep.
