Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers found throughout the central nervous system and various organs. They contribute to the proper functioning of vital functions, and one of their most important roles is mood regulation. Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its signals protect against overstimulation or excitation of the brain, creating a calming effect important for mood, sleep, chronic stress, and brain function. GABA is a natural remedy for improving and maintaining optimal mental health.

GABA has been studied for its effects in people with chronic anxiety and insomnia because they cannot "turn off" their thoughts at night (also called "monkey mind"). It is effective in reducing stress and anxiety and has been shown to help people fall asleep more quickly. It directly affects the brain by increasing brain waves associated with relaxation (alpha waves) and reducing brain waves associated with worry and stress (beta waves).

GABA is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter found in the body; it offers a safe alternative to medications for anxiety disorders. Anti-anxiety medications such as benzodiazepines can become addictive, a risk that does not exist with GABA supplementation. AOR's GABA™ formula provides 600 mg of pharmaceutical-grade gamma aminobutyric acid, with a purity of over 99%.
