I've been having sleep issues (can't stay asleep) for quite some time... after getting other forms of alternative therapy, I decided to add GABA to the list (no drugs, no other herbs). I was 100% skeptical, but kind of desperate and I thought for the price, it was worth a try. I've tried the Kava, the Valerian, the different herbal teas at night, with marginal success.<br /><br />I got the capsules last Friday. I took one at bedtime for the last 4 nights. And I slept. Like a rock. Like, sleep so good that you wake up in the morning and sort of ask yourself "did that really happen?"<br /><br />Now, maybe it's the accupuncture, the hypnosis tapes, the new nature sounds alarm clock, the better sleep habits, the warm baths at night... I don't really know for sure. But I can say with honesty that whatever happened these last 4 nights has been so remarkable that I will be doing all the above for the rest of my forseeable future, and include the GABA.

Gamma Aminobutyric Acid is a great supplement. It's easy on the stomach, and supports muscular and mental health. I can feel this one working. About 15 minutes after I take it, I experience a calming sensation as well as heightened body heat. It's safe to take more than one capsule, but if you are sensitive like me it may make your skin flush. This stuff really helps me get to sleep at night without side effects. Swanson is a great seller is well, their products are top notch and customer service is excellent!

I've read time and time again that GABA should not work, but I have found it to be fairly effective. I don't know how it is working since it should not cross the blood brain barrier, and once metabolized there is the chance it will actually increase glutamate(not calming).<br /><br />I've tried many, many, many herbal anxiolytics(lemon balm, ashwagandha, passion flower etc) and GABA is one of the few that actually seems to have a positive impact on my anxiety. Perhaps one day scientists will actually be able to properly explain how it is working, but if you've tried everything or have mild anxiety I would definitely recommend GABA.

I bought this for my step son who is sort of moody and always comes home from his job all tense. I thought this would help to relieve him of the stress of his job. He said since he has been taking it he now feels a lot more peaceful. He said it has helped him sleep too. He isn't thinking about his job like he used to. So hopefully it can help someone else.

I have been using GABA for almost a year and it has blessed my body immensely. I have been diagnosed with what is called Cataplexy and this was the only product after a lot of careful researching was documented to help that kind of pain. My daughter who studied Pharmacy also researched it and gives it to me immediately as the Cataplexy attacks my body everyday and now she swears by it. I'm extremely happy to find such a great product online at such an affordable cost. It is a huge comparison to Sprout's who did not have it on their shelf in a different brand at a higher cost. Be careful to check online at the FDA prior to placing your orders because GABA was actually pulled from the shelf because the products in some brands did not contain the full strength needed.

I suffer from a medical condition which causes vocal cord muscle spasms. I find that GABA helps smooth out my voice.
