Overview

NOW GABA provides 750mg of gamma-aminobutyric acid, the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA promotes relaxation and reduces neural excitability, supporting stress relief, sleep quality, and calm focus. While debate exists about oral GABA crossing the blood-brain barrier, the 18,200+ positive reviews suggest real-world effectiveness. The 200-capsule count provides over 6 months of daily supplementation.
