What can GABA do for you?

As stated before, GABA stands for gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is beneficial for a variety of different purposes, including but not limited to the following:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• Attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD)
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Promoting weight loss
• Increasing lean muscle mass
• Burning fat
• Relieving pain
• Reliecing injuries and increasing exercise tolerance
• Promoting a sense of relaxation

So how exactly does GABA help you feel more happy or burn fat?

Ultimately, GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that is naturally produced in the central nervous system in adults. This means that when it binds to receptors, it usually decreases the chance that a nerve will "fire" and send out a signal. In children, the effects may vary, so, please consult your child's healthcare provider before giving your child any medication or supplement, including GABA.
