Stress Relief When You Need It Most

GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, plays a vital role in regulating those "let's go!" and "slow down" neurotransmitters, which are signals in the brain that tell us how to feel, think and respond. As the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, it helps keep cell communications in balance, so we don't get overwhelmed by life's occasional stressors.

What does that overwhelm look like? According to the survey, 31% of participants have a harder time making decisions when they feel stress, and 29% have difficulty focusing on tasks.

While 61% of the study's participants exercise to help manage stress, 54% said they take supplements. GABA is clinically studied to promote a relaxed and balanced mood and to support a healthy stress response when you need it.

GABA has another benefit that may help manage stress: encouraging healthy sleep. In a clinical study, those taking GABA reported falling asleep faster than those in the placebo group. Better yet, they reported not feeling drowsy the next day, so you don't have to worry about yawning your way through that important presentation.

For occasional sleeplessness.
