GABA Orange Flavor - 90 Chewables

The Benefits of GABA supplementation

GABA is a non-protein amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the human brain. GABA is naturally produced in the body and its presence within the central nervous system may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension. Delicious orange flavor NOW Chewable GABA combines this naturally occurring neurotransmitter with the relaxing amino acids taurine and theanine for their complementary functions. Let's explore the benefits of GABA supplementation.

GABA and Relaxation

The human brain is constantly bombarded with input from our senses. This input can come in the form of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch—and it can be overwhelming at times. Thankfully, our brains have a built-in mechanism to help us cope with this sensory onslaught: neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that help send signals from one neuron to another, and they play a major role in regulating our mood and behavior.

One of the most important neurotransmitters is GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is a non-protein amino acid that helps inhibit neuron activity. In other words, it helps keep our brains from being overwhelmed by too much input. When we're feeling calm and relaxed, it's because our brains have enough GABA to balance out the excitatory neurotransmitters like adrenaline and dopamine.

However, sometimes our bodies don't produce enough GABA on their own. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and irritability. That's where supplementation comes in. By taking a GABA supplement, you can help support healthy levels of this important neurotransmitter.* Delicious orange flavor NOW Chewable GABA combines this naturally occurring neurotransmitter with the relaxing amino acids taurine and theanine for their complementary functions.*

Taurine and theanine are two amino acids that work together to promote relaxation. Taurine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it helps regulate the nervous system by reducing stress and anxiety. Theanine is an amino acid that is found naturally in tea leaves. It has been shown to promote alpha brainwave activity, which is associated with a state of relaxation. Together, taurine and theanine can help you feel calm and relaxed.

There are several ways to get taurine and theanine into your system. The most common way is through supplementation. Taurine and theanine supplements are readily available at most health food stores. You can also find taurine in energy drinks and some types of tea, such as green tea. Theanine can be found in black tea, oolong tea, and green tea. Drinking tea is a great way to relax and unwind after a long day.

GABA and Exercise Recovery

In addition to promoting relaxation, GABA also plays an important role in exercise recovery.* During exercise, our bodies produce more of the stress hormone cortisol.* Cortisol is necessary for helping us deal with physical stressors like exercise—but too much cortisol can lead to feelings of anxiousness and irritability.*

Fortunately, exercise also increases production of GABA.* So, when we work out regularly, we can help keep our stress levels in check by promoting a healthy balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters.* However, intense or prolonged exercise can sometimes lead to temporary decreases in GABA levels.* Supplementing with GABA may help to support healthy levels of this important neurotransmitter during periods of increased physical activity.* Delicious orange flavor NOW Chewable GABA combines this naturally occurring neurotransmitter with the relaxing amino acids taurine and theanine for their complementary functions.*

In Summary:

Whether you're looking to promote relaxation or support exercise recovery, taking a GABA supplement may be beneficial.* Delicious orange flavor NOW Chewable GABA combines this naturally occurring neurotransmitter with the relaxing amino acids taurine and theanine for their complementary functions.* If you're looking for a delicious way to support healthy levels of this important neurotransmitter, try NOW Chewable GABA!*
