GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a non-protein amino acid thatfunctions as a neurotransmitter (a chemical that facilitatescommunication between neurons). Neurotransmitters are either"excitatory" (i.e. they stimulate the firing of a neuron) or"inhibitory" (i.e., they tend to suppress neuron firing). GABA,which is produced from glutamate, is an inhibitoryneurotransmitter. In fact, it's the primary inhibitoryneurotransmitter in the brain.

Since GABA is a naturally-occurring, easily synthesized,physiologically-important compound, it's readily available insupplement form. It's also found in various functional foodproducts.

Why is GABA so popular? It appears to reduce anxiety and promotea sense of calm. Herbalists often recommend GABA as an alternativeto the herb kava for people who want a natural tranquilizer. Theeffects of GABA are mild and it does not cause sedation. GABA isalso used to promote sleep.

GABA is available in tablets, capsules and in powdered form (notto mention Jones Soda.). Capsules can be opened and mixed withliquid to make them easier to ingest. Sublingual tablets of GABA(tablets that are placed under the tongue to dissolve) are alsoavailable.
