Frequently Asked Questions About GABA

Q: How does an effective GABA-boosting formula work?

GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter naturally found in the body. By inhibiting certain signals in the brain, it can slow down brain activity, essentially calming your nerves and promoting calm and relaxation. It has also been shown to have benefits for cardiovascular health. Taking a supplement to boost the levels of GABA in the body can further enhance these benefits, helping to reduce anxiety and support better sleep.

The correct formula to boost GABA levels holds the key to success. The formula should not just be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. The formula should contain 600mg of GABA that has been naturally synthesized by fermentation as well as L-Arginine which can improve the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to GABA. It should also include other supporting ingredients such as L-Theanine for enhancing the effects of GABA and Vitamin B6 for increasing the body’s GABA production. This will help improve the efficacy of the product.

Q: Do all GABA formulas work?

Unfortunately, they do not. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health trends, formulating supplements that contain incorrect ingredients and wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add unnecessary ingredients or cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings, or preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for GABA supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, if you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 2 capsules per day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within as little as a week. For others it can take longer. Everybody is different. Results will vary depending on factors such as diet, lifestyle choices, and genetic disposition. There were many manufacturers that offered refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good GABA supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which GABA supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Approved Science GABA+ the most. We found that from the many products that we analyzed, Approved Science GABA+ had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, and consumer feedback.

Of course, it is ultimately your choice. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your decision. If you are looking for a well-researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go far wrong with Approved Science GABA+. It is an excellent quality product, with great reviews and is well priced.
