How does GABA work?
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid produced in the brain. Large amounts of GABA are found in the hypothalamus, which helps regulate functions such as sleep, body temperature and the activity of the pituitary gland. Studies show that GABA releases HGH, especially after exercise. Natural HGH carries none of the risks of either the injected or ingested form. Supplementation with GABA can be an effective way to obtain the benefits of HGH including maintaining a healthier weight. GABA may also increase the body’s sleeping cycle, producing a calmer and more restful night’s sleep. [For some, GABA may do the opposite, producing vivd, disturbing dreams,] Medical studies have been carried out on GABA and they seem to support the notion that oral ingestion of GABA significantly increases human growth hormone levels in the blood.
