What is GABA?

GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a non-protein amino acid. Unlike the amino acids that make up proteins, it is not used to build proteins. Gamma-aminobutyric acid occurs naturally in the human and animal body, as well as in plants and microorganisms. Small amounts are found, for example, in tomatoes, germinated brown rice, some teas and fermented foods. GABA was first synthesised in 1883.

In this product GABA is combined with vitamin B6. Besides the active ingredients, the capsule contains rice flour, silica and magnesium stearate of vegetable origin, and the capsule shell is made of cellulose. No ingredients containing the major allergens are used to make the product, but the facility also processes such ingredients. The brand owner is Now Foods, a family-owned company in the United States operating since 1968 and following good manufacturing practice (GMP).

How to use?

Take 1 capsule two to three times daily as needed, preferably on an empty stomach with juice or water. The maximum daily amount is 3 capsules, providing 1500 mg GABA and 6 mg vitamin B6. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. If you also use a multivitamin or other food supplements containing vitamin B6 or GABA, take their amounts into account. After opening, store the bottle in a cool, dry place.
