About PharmaGABA

PharmaGABA is a dietary supplement that contains a naturally produced form of an essential brain compound called GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid). With the valuable assistance of this critical neurotransmitter, the formula helps to increase the production of a specific type of brain waves that promote physical relaxation called alpha brain waves. At the same time, the product enables individuals to maintain their mental focus while enjoying a more stress-free daily life. PharmaGABA comes in delicious chewable tablets that allow for fast absorption and assimilation.

How PharmaGABA Works

The formula consists of GABA, which plays a vital role in the normal central nervous system function. Due to its inhibitory activity, it enables relaxation and sleep and allows us to cope with stress more effectively, without allowing it to take over us. The GABA form in PharmaGABA is produced with the aid of a beneficial lactic acid bacteria called Lactobacillus hilgardii. In detail, to produce PharmaGABA, the manufacturer follows a process where glutamate (amino acid glutamic acid) is fermented with the contribution of the lactic acid bacteria mentioned before. This procedure is particularly popular in Korea for the making of kimchi – a traditional vegetable dish (the method is used to ferment the veggies). So, it comes as no surprise that the formula is already used in several kinds of food products worldwide as a functional food ingredient too. Studies have evidenced the impressive outcomes that derive from the use of PharmaGABA, which include a significant reduction of anxiety and stress, considerably enhanced mental alertness and concentration, and a profound promotion of feelings of calmness and relaxation.

Incredible Benefits of GABA

GABA facilitates the communication among the brain cells and helps reduce the activity of neurons in the central nervous system and the brain. This, in turns, has beneficial effects on the mind and body, including pain alleviation, reduced stress, a calmer and more balanced mood, and sleep promotion. During periods of elevated stress, GABA makes sure it moves the body and brain into lower gear acting the same way the brakes do when a car is racing and needs to slow down. Many medications, such as anti-seizure and antidepressants interact with GABA receptors in the brain and GABA itself so that they achieve certain effects (i.e., lower blood pressure, relieve pain, reduce anxiety, stimulate the natural growth hormone in an athlete’s body, etc.).

GABA also helps regulate muscle tone and comprises a pivotal contributor to the body’s physical and mental balance or homeostasis, especially when combined with glutamate. That aside, it plays an important role in the healthy functioning of the endocrine and immune systems, and the regulation of metabolism and appetite. Besides, there is increasing scientific evidence that GABA may also have a positive impact on the gastrointestinal function and gut health, where it could support the function of the immune system and motility, as well as regulate hormone activity and control inflammation.

Low GABA activity can lead to depression, chronic stress, anxiety, headaches, muscle pain, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, sleep issues (i.e., insomnia), and high blood pressure that is a byproduct of sleep disorders, such as apnea, and poor sleep.

GABA is not only internally produced, though. It is found naturally in fermented foods (see tempeh and yogurt), in varieties of tea (black, green, and oolong), and other foods, such as nuts, beans, whole grains, sunflower seeds, spinach, tomato, cocoa, and more.
