Neurotransmitters with relaxing action that provides support in balancing the emotional state and supports the onset of sleep.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA, is a neurotransmitter that helps send messages between the brain and the nervous system. It is produced in the brain from glutamate. This process is catalysed by the active form of vitamin B6 and the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD). Its main function is to reduce the activity of nerve cells in the nervous system. Some research has found that it may play a role in many conditions, including depression, anxiety and stress.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid is believed to have a natural calming effect and reduces feelings of anxiety and fear by decreasing neuronal excitability.
Ashwagandha, also known scientifically as Withania somnifera, of the Solanaceae family is an evergreen shrub that is widespread in India, Africa and the Middle East. The biologically active chemical constituents of ashwagadha are alkaloids (isopeltierin, anaferin, cuseohigrin, anahigrin, etc.), sterol lactones (withanolide, withaferin) and saponins. Sitoindozides and acylsterylglucosides in Ashwagandha are anti-stress agents. The active principles of Ashwagandha, e.g. sitoindozides VII-X and Withaferin-A, exert significant anti-stress and immunomodulatory activity.
L-theanine (L-theanine) is a naturally occurring compound in green and black tea, also found in dietary supplement form, which has a number of health benefits such as improved powers of concentration. L-theanine is an amino acid that is not produced by the human body and is essential for humans. Green tea, black tea and certain types of mushrooms naturally contain L-theanine. This substance can have an effect on the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, including serotonin and dopamine (which influence mood, sleep and emotions) and cortisol, which helps the body cope with stress. A change in the balance of these chemicals can change a person's mood or stress level.
GABA Soothe, Ashwagandha and Theanine Benefits
One of the main functions of GABA is to reduce nervous excitability, which may be related to feelings of anxiety and fear. This is because it has a calming effect and is often used as a natural remedy for anxiety. In fact, some anxiety disorders have even been associated with low GABA levels.
Insomnia is a condition characterised by difficulty falling asleep, affecting around 30% of adults worldwide. GABA has a calming, sedative effect and can help induce sleep naturally by reducing nervous excitability.
Besides preventing anxiety and regulating sleep, the neurotransmitter GABA plays a major role in depression. Research has found that people with depression tend to have lower levels of GABA than those without depression. GABA levels may also increase after depression treatment.
Premenstrual syndrome or PMS is a group of symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue and cravings that occur in women between ovulation and the onset of menstrual bleeding. Studies show that GABA levels are disrupted by menstruation and may decrease during the menstrual cycle.
This neurotransmitter may help relieve PMS symptoms. For example, some studies have suggested that it may act as a natural pain reliever, while others have noted that it may be involved in the mechanism of cramps.
Although inflammation is a normal response triggered by the immune system following illness or injury, chronic inflammation can contribute to diseases such as cancer, heart disease and even arthritis. Some research has found that GABA may help reduce inflammation and may be useful in treating these conditions.
- Improves focus in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD, is a condition that affects both children and adults and can cause symptoms such as limited attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. GABA is sometimes used to improve concentration and reduce symptoms in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
- Increases growth hormone levels
Human growth hormone is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that comes with benefits such as increased muscle strength, lower risk of heart disease, improved body composition and stronger bones. A deficiency of this essential hormone can lead to symptoms such as delayed puberty and stunted growth in children, as well as depression, sexual dysfunction, insulin resistance and an increased risk of heart disease in adults.
