- GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid)
Gaba (gamma-aminobutric acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter produced in the central nervous system whose concentration decreases with age. This amino acid is used by the brain to promote calm and tranquility (calming the nervousness).
Neutralizes the stimulant effects of glutamate, an antagonistic neurotransmitter secreted in the brain. In other words, Gaba is the main weapon of the brain in the fight against stress and nervousness. It thus helps maintain the integrity of nerve cells by preventing "burning", ie their fatigue. Gaba is also present in the hypothalamus, the gland that regulates instinctive functions such as sleep as well as some activities of the pituitary gland (pituitary gland).
