The neural cells in the human brain must be interconnected to form feelings, thoughts, memories, and emotions. The chemical substances responsible for the interconnection between nerves, namely neurotransmitters. The lack or imbalance of neurotransmitters is the cause of various mental illnesses.
GABA( γ- Aminobutyric acid is a neurotransmitter responsible for relaxing and resting brain nerves. Some sedative and hypnotic drugs act on chloride ion channels connected by GABA receptors to relax and rest the brain nerves. If GABA is directly supplemented, it can achieve similar effects as sedative and hypnotic drugs, but without the side effects of these drugs. Therefore, GABA is a good choice for people who need to calm down and sleep, but are afraid of drug side effects.
1. GABA is a substance that already exists in the human body
GABA is a naturally occurring amino acid in the human body. When GABA is lacking in the body, it can cause anxiety, unease, fatigue, anxiety, and other emotions. Generally, people who have been under high pressure for a long time, such as athletes, office workers, etc., are prone to lacking GABA and need to be supplemented in a timely manner to relieve their emotions.
2. The Function of GABA
Although the clinical efficacy of GABA preparations is no less than that of various drugs, they are completely identical in chemical structure to the existing GABA in the human body, modified without adding any functional groups, and made from natural fermentation. Therefore, they are not considered as drugs but are positioned within the scope of "natural food".
GABA is widely recognized for its following functions:
a. Regulate autonomic nervous system, alleviate tension, reduce stress, and improve performance
b. Promote growth hormone secretion, enhance skeletal muscle strength, enhance immunity, reduce fat, and improve body function
c. Promote the burning of neutral fats (triglycerides account for 95% of human lipids)
d. Improve sleep
e. It has a relieving and therapeutic effect on hypertension
