- 29athrowaway 6y agoWell, it is one of the documented uses for GABA. https://www.healthline.com/health/gamma-aminobutyric-acid#uses https://www.healthline.com/health/gamma-aminobutyric-acid#us... It makes sense to use a neuroinhibitor if you have hyperactivity. Plus, they will make you sleep more and better, and good quality sleep will take care of a bunch of other issues you might be having. Using stimulants for anxiety will push you deeper into anxiety.
- adolph 6y agoThere is ongoing investigation and debate about how GABA supplements work in the body, and how their mechanisms of action may differ from the body’s internally-produced GABA. Specifically, scientists have not reached consensus about whether, or how effectively, supplemental GABA crosses what’s known as the blood-brain barrier — meaning, how well it moves from the bloodstream directly into the brain. There remains real need for additional research into the effects of supplemental GABA, including how it may affect the nervous system via the gut. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sleep-newzzz/201901/3-amazing-benefits-gaba https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sleep-newzzz/201901/...
