What is GABA?
GABA is a neurotransmitter the brain produces naturally to calm neural activity. It's often described as the brain's "off switch," counterbalancing excitatory signals that keep the mind active.
Why supplement with GABA?
A racing mind at bedtime is one of the most common barriers to falling asleep. Supplemental GABA is associated with helping quiet that mental chatter and ease physical tension.
What does the research say?
Research on oral GABA supplementation and its effects on relaxation is an active area of study. General background is available via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

Safety considerations
GABA is generally well tolerated. The supplement's GABA-enhancing properties may amplify the effects of other CNS-depressant medications — consult a doctor if you take sedatives or similar medication.
