Product Information

Powell, from the NIAAA, also notes that a single alcoholic drink can increase the risk of car crashes and other accidents, so any substance that alters someone’s mental state—however slightly—needs to be carefully examined. (Orren urges people to treat Sentia “with great respect, in terms of driving or operating physical machinery.”) In one study from 2003, daily consumption of a fermented milk product that contained GABA reduced blood pressure in people with slighted elevated blood pressure after two to four weeks. This was compared with a placebo.

But Alcohol does a whole lot more than that—which is the problem. It is at present perhaps the only mind altering substance that produces such a wide range of effects, able to stimulate and sedate at the same time.Hinton T, Jelinek HF, Viengkhou V, et al.

Frontiers in Nutrition. 2019;6:27. doi: 10.3389%2Ffnut.2019.00027 If you’re experiencing symptoms that may be due to a lower than optimal activity of GABA neurons, you might be wondering if dietary supplements can help. U nfortunately, there’s a dearth of long-term studies on different dosing regimens for GABA, so it’s not clear how much of a benefit comes from twice-daily dosing, but based on the pharmacology data, it’s still a good idea.

If you’re looking to increase your intake of foods that naturally contain GABA, fermented products, such as kimchi or kefir, are among the main options. Nakamura H, et al. (2009).

DOI: But what if you could get the buzz of a good drink without the buzz-killing side effects? That’s the marketing hype bubbling up from startups around the world making beverages that promise to make you feel tipsy using the magic of plant extracts, not alcohol. These companies claim that after a botanical beverage, you’ll feel more sociable and relaxed without getting drunk, eliminating the hangover (and bad decisions) that sometimes follow a boozy night. They conducted two different experiments to investigate how GABA mediates fear and relaxation. In the first experiment, the researchers took 13 people and measured their brain waves after administering three different solutions: pure water, a GABA solution, and an L-theanine solution.

GABAergic In molecular biology and physiology, something is GABAergic if it pertains to the neurotransmitter GABA GABA has a similar molecular structure to gabapentin, which accounts for why they have similar names, but their mechanism of action in the body is very different. Not only that, but GABA is available over the counter as a supplement. In contrast, gabapentin is a prescription only medication.
