What is GABA?

Gamma Aminobutyric Acid

• GABA exists widely in nature, including the mammalian nervous system, botanicals such as tomatoes, grapes, potatoes, pumpkin, and tea, as well as fermented foods such as kimchi, germinated brown rice and pickles, which are also rich in GABA.
• GABA plays a fundamental role in the regulation of the life activities of the organism.
• GABA is an important neurotransmitter widely distributed throughout the central nervous system. It serves as a critical calming agent for the body, helping to combat stress and anxiety. Having enough GABA in our body is a guarantee of feeling relaxed and happy. Lack of GABA will lead to tense feelings, fear and sleep problems.

Even though GABA can’t cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), it can still affect your brain. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the network of neurons that controls your gastrointestinal system. The ENS not only contains many GABA receptors but also GABA itself and is connected to the brain via the vagus nerve. Therefore, oral GABA can even affect the brain without passing the BBB through its interaction with the ENS.
