Equipping People To Make Sense Of What They Are Told
Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is an amino acid that is the second most prevalent
neurotransmitter in the brain. Amino acids build protein structures in the body,
and neurotransmitters are chemicals needed for the synapses to transfer information
across the nervous system.
GABA has an inhibiting effect, calming excited nerve impulses.
The amino acids L-theanine and glutamine are precursors of gamma-aminobutyric acid.
Involved in:
An inhibitory neurotransmitter to block the transmission of an impulse from one cell
to another in the central nervous system (preventing over-firing of the nerve cells).
Brain metabolism.
Combined with inositol and nicotinamide assists with blocking anxiety and stress
related impulses from reaching the motor centres of the brain.
