GABA: Aid for the Stressed Insomniac

By AMC Team 1 min read

GABA is an important neurochemical within the brain. Its primary job is to slow down the activity in the brain so that clear thoughts and strong communication can be established between the body and the brain. Insufficient GABA activity can be seen in people who are chronically stressed or have hyperactive thought patterns, people who are anxious or restless and people suffering with pain, sleep and/or mood disorders. Supplementing with GABA may be beneficial for many as it has the ability to down regulate pain receptors and induce relaxation and restful sleep.

Key areas of application:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Insomnia and poor sleep
  • Depression
  • Epilepsy
  • Pain; fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome
  • Drug and alcohol addiction
