GABA 500mg (100 Tablets)

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. Recent studies suggest partial permeability of the blood-brain barrier to exogenous GABA. For sleep, doses of 100-300mg 30-60 minutes before bedtime subjectively improve sleep quality and ease of falling asleep in stressed individuals.

For mild anxiolysis and improved sleep: 100-300mg is enough; the 500mg dose may cause noticeable drowsiness, ideal before bedtime. For GH stimulation (Cavagnini protocol): 3g of GABA. For post-workout recovery: 500mg to 1g taken immediately after the session may contribute to muscle relaxation.

Drowsiness is the most common side effect of GABA at doses of 300mg and above. Daytime intake can impair alertness and reflexes — absolutely avoid before driving or operating machinery.

The combination of GABA + melatonin + magnesium + L-theanine is the most complete sleep stack available in natural supplementation. Suggested doses: GABA 200-500mg + melatonin 0.5-1mg + magnesium 300-400mg + L-theanine 100-200mg, 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

Commercial GABA is generally produced through microbial fermentation (from L-glutamate via bacterial glutamate decarboxylase). In terms of biological efficacy, both forms are identical — GABA is a simple molecule whose bioactivity does not depend on the synthesis method.

Exogenous GABA does not develop dependence or tolerance comparable to benzodiazepines. Cycles of 8-12 weeks followed by 2-4 weeks off are still recommended as a precaution to maintain the natural sensitivity of GABA receptors.
