What is GABA?
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is a non-essential amino acid naturally produced by the body. It functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, helping to regulate the nervous system by dampening the transmission of impulses. GABA is also found in small amounts in foods such as broccoli, spinach, bananas, and nuts.
Although the absorption of GABA through supplements may be limited due to the blood-brain barrier, there is evidence that elevated peripheral levels may still positively influence GABA function in the central nervous system. As a result, GABA has become a popular supplement among individuals looking to support mental balance.
