How does GABA work?

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is naturally present in the body and acts as a neurotransmitter. There are also foods that can boost GABA levels, such as cabbage plants, dark green leafy vegetables and root vegetables.

GABA is a form of butyric acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord. GABA is short for gamma-aminobutyric acid. A neurotransmitter is what sends signals between our nerve cells, and being an inhibitor means that it slows down impulses from one nerve cell to another, leading to a calmer activity that prevents our nerve cells from being overstimulated.

How does l-theanine work?

L-theanine is a non-essential amino acid that occurs naturally in the plant kingdom in the leaves of tea bushes, especially in green tea.

Unlike other amino acids, L-theanine does not form proteins but has other functions in the body. Primarily, L-theanine may influence the release of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Serotonin is what affects our fear and anxiety but at high levels we become calmer. Dopamine is linked to the brain's reward system and when these levels are high, we feel happy and calm.

GABA + L-THEANINE is an excellent supplement for those who are looking for a recovery product or need to wind down in the evenings.

Take 2 capsules daily.
