Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major neurotransmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system. Because too much excitation can lead to irritability, restlessness, sleeplessness, and spasmodic movements, this excitation needs to be balanced with inhibition. GABA the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain can provide this inhibition, acting like a "brake" during times of runaway stress.* In addition, studies also indicate GABA can promote relaxation and enhance sleep.

It is thought that either low GABA levels or decreased GABA function in the brain may have an adverse impact on neurological health.

The natural GABA in Thorne's PharmaGABA-250 is produced via a fermentation process that utilizes Lactobacillus hilgardii, the bacteria used to ferment vegetables in the preparation of the traditional Korean cabbage dish known as kimchi. Clinical studies show this natural form of GABA can increase the production of alpha-waves in the brain, creating a profound sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus.* In contrast, the stress-related beta-waves in the brain are decreased.* In addition to changes in brain waves, natural PharmaGABA has been shown to produce relaxation, as evidenced by reduced pupil diameter, heart rate, and two natural markers of stress salivary cortisol and chromogranin A.* In a head-to-head, double-blind trial of natural PharmaGABA versus synthetic GABA, synthetic GABA did not demonstrate these positive effects.

  • Will this help? at 1/23/12 10:42 AM
    • My friend is having anxiety and slight depression with amnesia. He's always worried about something and borderline paranoid. When he takes Ativan he's back to normal. I read that he needs GABA is this correct?
      I was thinking about getting him GABA to calm him down.
    • Hello - I believe something like Kavinace may work better for him. Consider trying Kavinace as it has the form of GABA that crosses the blood brain barrier: http://www.healthegoods.com/kavinace-60-vegetarian-capsules-neuroscience.html Ativan works on supporting the increase of GABA so increasing his natural GABA formation is a good idea. Make sure you talk with his doctor about restoring his GABA levels naturally so the doctor will taper down the Ativan. Best Dr Ben
