GABA
The brain is a complex organ that relies on various neurotransmitters to regulate different reactions in the body. Among these neurotransmitters is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical messenger that plays a crucial role in calming the mind by blocking specific signals in the central nervous system.
GABA offers a range of benefits beyond just calming effects:
1. Stress and Anxiety Reduction:
GABA helps to reduce nerve excitability, which is often associated with feelings of stress and anxiety. In fact, decreased levels of GABA have been linked to certain anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder.
2. Improved Sleep:
If you struggle with falling asleep or maintaining a good sleep duration, GABA can be of great help. It can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and increase the overall duration of your sleep.
3. Enhanced Mental Performance:
In addition to its calming properties, GABA also has the ability to enhance cognitive performance. By promoting better prioritization and organizational skills, GABA can help you perform better mentally wherever you go.
