Now Foods GABA 750 mg – gamma-aminobutyric acid in a vegetable capsule

Now Foods GABA is a food supplement containing gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, in powder form in vegetable capsules. Each capsule contains 750 mg of GABA. The manufacturer recommends taking 1 capsule 1 to 2 times daily as needed, so the maximum daily dose is 2 capsules or 1500 mg of GABA. The container holds 100 capsules, enough for 50–100 days depending on use. The product is developed by the American food supplement manufacturer NOW Foods, a family-owned company since 1968.

What is GABA?

GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is an amino acid produced by the human body itself. Unlike many other amino acids, GABA is not used to build proteins – chemists call such substances non-proteinogenic amino acids. Small amounts of GABA also occur naturally in a number of foods, such as fermented foods, tea, tomatoes and sprouted grains. In this food supplement, GABA is a pure powder enclosed in a capsule made of cellulose. The formula is short: besides GABA, it contains only the cellulose capsule shell and two anti-caking agents that help the powder fill the capsules evenly.

How to use?

Take 1 capsule 1 to 2 times daily as needed, preferably on an empty stomach with juice or water. Do not take more than 2 capsules a day or exceed the recommended daily dose. Swallow the capsules whole. If you use other food supplements containing GABA at the same time, take their amounts into account as well. After opening, keep the container in a cool, dry place and close the lid carefully after use.
