GABA
(Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)
A naturally occurring amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the Central Nervous System (CNS). GABA promotes relaxation when it is taken as a dietary supplement and research indicates that it may help to provide positive support when used along with an anti-stress therapy.
GABA is formulated into these Clarocet products: Clarocet NRI, Clarocet ERT, Clarocet CS, Clarocet PM, Clarocet Junior

A Brief Introduction to GABA

GABA, or Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, is an amino acid that is considered a major inhibitory neurotransmitter found in approximately 30% to 40% of all brain synapses.

In clinical study, GABA supplementation has demonstrated a wide variety of health benefits that may help to provide positive support for:

      • Memory and other healthy cognitive functions
      • Tiredness, fatigue and weakness associated with occasional nervousness, anxiety, and emotional stress
      • Occasional sleep difficulty

GABA is normally manufactured by the body in sufficient quantity. Although deficiencies are rare, exposure to environmental toxins and other external stressors may increase that rate at which GABA is depleted in the body. A GABA deficiency may result in muscle fatigue, nervousness, anxiety, irritability, depressed mood and sleep difficulty.

How GABA is Thought to Work

GABA is considered to be a cofactor. Cofactors are the single most important set of components required to maintain fundamental processes throughout the body. Basic nervous system functions such as neurotransmitter synthesis and healthy cell-to-cell communication would not be possible without the presence of necessary vitamin, mineral and amino acid cofactors.

Supplementing a balanced diet with Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid has been clinically shown to stimulate energy metabolism, support healthy cognitive functions such as memory, and promote a restful, relaxed state. Because of its nutritive value, GABA is best used along with other essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids that help to promote healthy neurological function.

GABA Safety and Usage

GABA maintains an excellent safety profile. No recommended daily allowance (RDA) exists for GABA because it is a non-essential nutrient. In children, doses of as little as 10mg-100mg are sufficient when administering GABA to promote healthy neurological and nervous system function. Adults are advised to take between 250mg and 1000mg to provide positive support for low energy levels and mental fatigue caused by occasional anxiety and stress.

What are the potential side effects of GABA?

Side effects are rare and have been documented as mild in clinical study. They may include gastrointestinal discomfort. In the event that you or your child experience an adverse reaction, discontinue use of this dietary supplement.

Does GABA adversely interact with prescription drugs?

There are no known interactions. If you or your child is taking a prescription medication, it is recommended that you consult with your prescribing doctor before making any changes or additions to a current treatment plan.
