GABA supplement

What is GABA?

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a naturally occurring amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain.

How much GABA should I use?

There is no standard recommended daily dose of GABA because it is not considered an essential nutrient. When taken as a supplement, the recommended dose may vary depending on the individual, age and reason for supplementation. It is best to consult an expert for proper advice.

When is the best time to take GABA?

The best time to take GABA can vary, depending on individual needs and reasons for supplementation. But most people use GABA before bedtime.

How can you increase GABA naturally?

GABA can be increased naturally through a healthy, balanced diet with foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B complex and magnesium. Other natural ways to increase GABA levels include regular exercise, deep breathing, meditation and reducing caffeine and sugar intake.

Other supplements commonly used with GABA include ashwagandha, rhodiola and magnesium.

Is GABA dangerous?

No, GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is not dangerous. It is a natural neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a role in nerve activity.

With normal use and in recommended doses, there are no side effects known. As with any supplement, however, it is advisable to consult a physician first consult, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications.
