Scared Me By: John

Be careful when taking this product. Start out with a small amount first to see how you react to it. The first time I used about 3 grams and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My hands went numb' my heart freaked out and breathing was very erratic. I was freaking to say the very least. I used some melatonin real quick to try and counter-act these adverse reaction. I have not touched this product since. I'm sure everyone reacts differently, but use this product with caution.

Powerfull Stack By: Robert

I am going to stack this with powerfull Gamma-aminobutyric acid was first synthesized in 1883, and was first known only as a plant and microbe metabolic product. In 1950, however, GABA was discovered to be an integral part of the mammalian central nervous system.[1] Organisms synthesize GABA from glutamate using the enzyme L-glutamic acid decarboxylase and pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. It is worth noting that this involves converting the principal excitatory neurotransmitter (glutamate) into the principal inhibitory one (GABA). GABA has been purported to increase the amount of the Human Growth Hormone. The results of those studies have been seldom replicated and have recently been in question since it is unknown if GABA can pass the blood-brain barrier. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) Supplements Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-essential amino acid that helps promote normal brain function by helping to block stress-related messages from reaching receptor sites in the central nervous system. GABA helps reduce feelings of anxiousness, and may be helpful for treatment of disorders linked to emotional stress, such as reduced sex drive and hypertension. GABA is manufactured in the body from another amino acid, glutamic acid. GABA essentially acts as a tranquilizer in the body, and its effects are comparable to prescription drugs such as Valium and other tranquilizers. Because GABA helps to subdue the firing of nerve cells in the brain, it may be useful for treatment of disorders thought to be linked to over stimulation of the brain's motor centers, such as epilepsy and attention deficit disorder. Research indicates that it may also help treat alcoholism by reducing alcohol cravings, which have been shown to respond to treatment with the precursor of GABA, glutamic acid, as well. Individuals with enlarged prostate glands may benefit from GABA supplementation, as this amino acid plays a key role in balancing and regulating levels of sex hormones in the body. Some studies indicate that GABA actually increases levels of human growth hormone (HGH) in the body, which can lead to an increase in muscle mass and decrease in overall body fat. GABA is available in capsule and powder forms at health food stores and from online distributors. The usual dosage is 3 to 5 grams, and although some studies have used doses as high as 18 grams, you should proceed with caution when taking large doses of GABA. Too much GABA may actually increase feelings of anxiety, and has been reported to cause numbness, tingling, and shortness of breath. In addition, abnormal levels of GABA may also induce seizure activity in some individuals.
