GABA

GABA, or Gamma Amino Butyruc Acid, is a body's own inhibitory neurotransmittor.

Scientific evidence

The main role for GABA here lies in inhibiting the excitability of our nervous system. This ensures that body enters a calmer phase.

Good for

GABA are body's own, chemical signaling substances, a kind of "messengers" that have a calming effect on our brain. When we receive a lot of stimuli, GABA causes our overactive nerve cells to be inhibited in action. Together with the other neurotransmitters in our bodies, such as dopamine, adrenaline and our happiness hormone serotonin, GABA thus provides a nice balance between stimulation and relaxation. This is also why GABA plays an important role in the regulation of our sleep and biorhythms, among other things.
