Natural Factors Stress-Relax Pharma GABA, 60 Vegetarian Capsules Features : Gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is a neurotransmitter that sends chemical messages through the brain and the nervous system, and is involved in regulating communication between brain cells. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a natural calming agent of the brain, often viewed as the brains braking system. When we become overwhelmed with stress the brain typically responds by producing more GABA, or pumping the brakes. GABAs foremost mechanism of action is increasing the production of alpha brain waves (associated with a relaxed, yet alert state) and decreasing production of beta brain waves (associated with nervousness, scattered thoughts, and hyperactivity). This leads to improved relaxation without drowsiness, and enhanced mental focus. Although every day stress is a normal part of modern day living, for some people stress can become overwhelming, which can lead to an assortment of symptoms including nervous tension, sleep disturbances, and irritability.
