Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA): GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid, discovered in 1950, is the most important and widespread inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Excitation in the brain must be balanced with inhibition. Too much excitation can lead to restlessness, irritability, insomnia, and even seizures. GABA is able to induce relaxation, analgesia, and sleep. Barbiturates and benzodiazepines are known to stimulate GABA receptors, and hence induce relaxation. Several neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and Parkinson’s disease are affected by this neurotransmitter. GABA is made in the brain from the amino acid glutamate with the aid of vitamin B6. GABA is available as a supplement in vitamin stores, but taking it in pill form is not always an effective way to raise brain levels of this neurotransmitter because GABA cannot easily cross the blood-brain barrier. Companies are searching for ways to place GABA in an oil base in order to ease its entry across this barrier GABA can be purchased throughout North America in bottles typically holding 250mg/60 capsules for usually less than $15. It is recommended to only take one 4mg pill of GABA daily. Hope I have been enlightening.

Everyone has GABA within them.. so by use it, I assume you mean the pills, which I havn't used. It's an inhibitory neurotransmitter - I have no use for it.

Originally posted by dagr8n8 o ok lol cool, do you use b complexes or ne thing ? I only take vitamin B6 when I wake up in the morning to quell that drowsy feeling and so I do not have to sleep as much. (This is my dirty little secret that isn't leaving this thread)

[dagr8n8]

humm what, you dont have to sleep as much when u take b6 in the morning why is that ? is that also true for B complex?
