Do you have problems calming down a restless mind? Dr. Daniel Amen, New York
Times bestselling author of “Magnificent Mind at Any Age” and “Healing Anxiety and
Depression” has developed NeuroGABA, a combination of inhibitory neurotransmitters
vital to quieting an overactive brain.
We recommend NeuroGABA for those individuals who are predisposed towards
excessive worry and anxiety. If you are experiencing issues with nervousness and
feelings of restlessness your brain might be overexcited, which can lead to irritability,
tension, poor concentration and insomnia. If you are seeking a healthy, non-addictive
means to address these issues, then NeuroGABA might be right for you. This
supplement works to relax the central nervous system, thereby bringing an overall sense
of calm and balance back to the body and brain.
Background
GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid is an amino acid that regulates brain excitability and
GABA supplements are recommended for the treatment of anxiety and stress. GABA
and GABA enhancers such as the anticonvulsant gabapentin, L-theanine (found in green
tea) and ethanol (alcohol) function to inhibit the excessive firing of neurons which results
in a feeling of calm. Low levels of GABA have been found in many psychiatric and
neurological disorders including depression, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease (Ref.
10,13-15). While clinical studies using GABA supplements are still limited (see below),
studies using medications that enhance GABA, such as lorazepam and gabapentin, have
been proven to effectively treat panic disorders, epilepsy and insomnia (Ref. 3,5,6,11,16).
There is some question as to how easily GABA crosses the blood brain barrier, but
evidence in the literature supports its efficacy. In addition, natural GABA supplements
have not been shown to have side effects. We recommend one to three capsules of
NeuroGABA 750 a day.
Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it calms brain activity. It is
an important protein in the brain as it serves as a building block for DNA synthesis.
Recent studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in the treatment of obsessive-
compulsive disorder (Ref. 1) schizophrenia (Ref. 8) and in reducing neuropathic pain
(Ref. 2).
Scientific Studies
Dr. Abdou and his colleagues have reported that oral supplementation of GABA has been
shown to increase alpha wave activity in the brain, which occurs when one is awake and
in a relaxed state. These findings support the use of GABA for relaxation, stress
reduction, and improved concentration (Ref. 4). GABA has also been shown to reduce
blood pressure (Ref. 7) and is important in making brain connections (Ref. 9).
