GABA

Stress Response and Sleep Changes is the main area connected here, and any felt benefit should be read together with the human evidence base.

Some human supplement-context evidence is present and directly informs the score.

Key precautions
No combination caution signal is clear enough to show right now. This does not guarantee safety.
These are signals reported in studies. They do not predict what will happen to an individual.

Side effects and combination studies

No standalone side-effect or combination signal is currently clear enough to show from the collected papers. This does not mean there is no concern.

Key Evidence #1
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 532
review

[Abstract]: This review assesses the parallel data on the role of gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in depression and anxiety. We review historical and new data from both animal and human experimentation which have helped define the key role for this transmitter

Key Evidence #2
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 324
review

This updated review was mainly focused to describe the pharmaceutical properties of Gaba as well as emphasize its important role regarding human health.

Key Evidence #3
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 302
observational

Findings support a role for GABA in the generation and modulation of endogenous motor cortex rhythmic beta and gamma activity and suggest that older participants had a lower gamma frequency.

review

Although more studies are needed before any inferences can be made about the efficacy of oral GABA consumption on stress and sleep, results show that there is limited evidence for stress and verylimited evidence for sleep benefits of oral GABA intake.

review

[Abstract]: Activation of the metabotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid(B) (GABA(B)) receptor increases K(+) conductance and decreases Ca(2+) channel activity in neuronal membranes. Studies with a number of new GABA(B) receptor agonists and antagonists reveal that

Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 187
observational

Novel findings from a large, healthy, older population indicate that cognitive function is sensitive to cerebral GABA concentrations in the frontal cortex, and GABA concentration in frontal and posterior regions continue to decline in later age.
