COLLAGEN SLEEP & RELAX ASHWAGANDHA

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. Neurotransmitters function as chemical messengers. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it blocks, or inhibits, certain brain signals and decreases activity in your nervous system.

When GABA attaches to a protein in your brain known as a GABA receptor, it produces a calming effect. This can help with feelings of anxiety, stress, and fear. Too much stress is linked to poor sleep, a weaker immune system, and a higher risk of depression, among other things.

The only foods that contain GABA are fermented ones, such as kimchi, miso, and tempeh.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) are available in the following products:

Magnesium (citrate)

From regulating blood sugar levels to boosting athletic performance, magnesium is crucial for your brain and body. Magnesium is found throughout your body. In fact, every cell in your body contains this mineral and needs it to function. About 60% of the magnesium in your body occurs in bone, while the rest is in muscles, soft tissues, and fluids, including blood.

One of its main roles is to act as a cofactor — a helper molecule — in the biochemical reactions continuously performed by enzymes. It’s involved in more than 600 reactions in your body, including:

Energy creation: converting food into energy
Protein formation: creating new proteins from amino acids
Gene maintenance: helping create and repair DNA and RNA
Muscle movements: aiding in muscle contraction and relaxation
Nervous system regulation: regulating neurotransmitters, which send messages throughout your brain and nervous system

Nonetheless, studies suggest that approximately 50% of adults get less than the recommended daily amount of magnesium.
