GABA - While we are on the supplement topic!

GABA is actually an amino acid that is classified as a neurotransmitter. It is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps you relax and sleep and has a very weird, although safe and nothing to fear, side effect. If you take a dose and you feel your head, face and next tingling, then you get hot flashes and are sweaty, you will see what I mean. I get that feeling about 20 minutes after each and every dose.

GABA - gamma amino-butyric acid

It is also purported to stimulate the anterior pituitary leading to increases in secretion of human growth hormone. This could also be a benefit to people trying to lose fat as human growth hormone slims your body down, just ask Sylvester Stallone!! It is also reported to help increase lean muscle production in the body as well.

I'm taking 2g per day along with my 5-HTP and I will let you know how it is going! I may even try to take it in my pre-workout shake as well and see the reaction. I will keep you posted.
