(GABA) Gamma-Amin0butyric Acid (Extra Strength)

Audios
#64

It feels different than the Patreon audios Gabapentin and Pregabalin.

This Audio (GABA) possibly feels more natural and smoother, the effects last at least 12 hrs in my experience.

I’ve thought about getting this field so many times and always stopped myself for some reason. Finally last night was able to focus my mind, do some research and finally got it! As a long time drinker, smoker and riddled with anxiety for as long as I can remember I think this is going to be really helpful. Only has been 1 day but I already am feeling a sense of calm presence in me. Thank you dream!

Any more updates?

I mostly use it now once a week for maintenance but I think the biggest help was in the beginning when I stopped drinking it really helped settle everything for me. Hard to say long term results because I use alot of other fields.

ChatGPT Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA): Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that is naturally produced in the brain. It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning it helps to regulate and slow down brain activity, which can have a calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body.

GABA is important for a number of functions in the body, including reducing anxiety and stress, improving sleep quality, and regulating muscle tone. It is also involved in the regulation of mood, cognition, and appetite.

Some potential benefits of GABA supplementation include:

  1. Reducing anxiety: Several studies have found that GABA supplementation can help to reduce anxiety and improve mood in people with anxiety disorders. GABA is thought to work by increasing the activity of alpha waves in the brain, which can have a calming effect.
  2. Improving sleep quality: GABA is involved in regulating sleep, and some studies have found that GABA supplementation can help to improve sleep quality in people with sleep disorders.
  3. Supporting brain health: GABA may have neuroprotective effects, and some research suggests that it may be helpful for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and stroke.
  4. Regulating blood pressure: GABA may help to lower blood pressure by reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which is involved in the fight-or-flight response.
  5. Enhancing exercise performance: GABA may help to enhance exercise performance by reducing muscle fatigue and increasing endurance.
  6. Alleviating PMS symptoms: GABA may help to reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as anxiety, irritability, and bloating.
  7. Improving focus and attention: GABA may help to improve focus and attention by reducing distractions and improving mental clarity.
  8. Reducing inflammation: GABA may have anti-inflammatory effects and could help to reduce inflammation in the body, which is associated with a number of chronic health conditions.
  9. Supporting gut health: GABA receptors are present in the gut, and some research suggests that GABA may play a role in regulating gut function and improving gut health.
  10. Managing addiction: GABA may have a role in managing addiction by reducing the activity of the reward system in the brain that is involved in addiction.
  11. Reducing symptoms of depression: GABA may have a role in reducing symptoms of depression by regulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain.
  12. Supporting weight loss: GABA may help to support weight loss by reducing food cravings and regulating appetite.
  13. Improving skin health: Some research suggests that GABA may have anti-aging effects and could help to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  14. Enhancing immune function: GABA may have immune-modulating effects, meaning it could help to regulate the immune system and enhance immune function.
  15. Supporting cardiovascular health: GABA may have cardiovascular benefits, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.

GABA is generally considered safe for most people when taken in recommended doses. However, there are a few potential disadvantages or side effects of taking GABA:

  1. Drowsiness: Some people may experience drowsiness or sedation after taking GABA. This can impair their ability to operate heavy machinery or perform other tasks that require alertness.
  2. Interaction with medications: GABA may interact with medications that affect the central nervous system, such as sedatives, antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs. This can lead to an increased risk of side effects or adverse reactions.
  3. Not regulated by FDA: GABA is considered a dietary supplement and is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that the quality and purity of GABA supplements may vary.
  4. May worsen certain health conditions: People with certain health conditions, such as bipolar disorder or epilepsy, may experience worsening of their symptoms after taking GABA. It’s important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking GABA if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
  5. Limited research: While some studies have suggested that GABA may have certain benefits, there is still limited research available on its long-term effects and potential risks. More research is needed to fully understand the benefits and risks of taking GABA supplements.

Does this repair GABA receptors or does it just act as a supplement?
