Nature's Way GABA, Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, Supports Brain Health*, 250 mg per Serving, 60 Vegan Capsules (Packaging May Vary)

It's very important to me that I write this review because it helped a lot with my anxiety and I would love to share that success with others so they can try it to. I have been suffering with anxiety for about five years now and I have tried several products. I have tried five – HTP and A product called rescue remedy and also have been through several other remedies. The GABA has been the most effective natural remedy that I have tried so far. I especially like is brand because it comes in the 250 mg dosage and I keep re-buying this particular brand because it has been so affective. First of all it's very easy to digest because it is a capsule and not a tablet. My natural doctor recommended that I take one 3 times a day or as needed. I can take up to three at a time three times a day. He also recommended that if I am having a panic attack I can open a capsule or two and dump the contents out into a glass of water stir it up and drink it. I have tried this method for a panic attack several times and it really has helped. It did more than take the edge off, it really helped to calm my nerves and get me feeling relaxed again. But now my method with taking the GABA is to prevent the anxiety and keep it under control. So I take one 3 times a day and I increase my dose if I'm having a particularly stressful day, or will be traveling, or if I'm going to encounter a situation in which I know my anxiety will be triggered. I'm very happy to have found a natural remedy to anxiety that does not have side effects. Although I should clarify that if I take too much GABA my heart races a bit but it doesn't last long maybe about 30 seconds a half hour after I take it. That being said, if you stick to the correct dosage it makes an incredible difference when it comes to managing anxiety and not having side effects and it does not make me sleepy rather it makes me feel more like myself. I always try to find natural remedies before I go with heavy medication because I feel like heavy medication really takes away my joy in life because it makes me tired and feel not like myself. So the GABA has a really fit in with my lifestyle of trying to be healthy and natural. Before considering taking this product I would do a Google search to see how it works for yourself, that's what I did. There is much information online and studies that prove GABA is a great way to manage anxiety.

I take Gaba, just one capsule in the morning before I go off to the gym. I have highly sensitive hearing, and the loud popular music overhead while I am lifting weights is so distracting to people in my age group of 60s and on up. Gaba really does the trick for me. This product also settles my nerves. A great value for the money too. I sleep better when I take it at supper, although it can be taken several times a day. Also works great for family events that are noisy!

GABA as you all know is the only human calming chemical which produced by Brain gradually diminish as we get older. This neurotransmitter messenger play a wonderful roles in decreasing or slowing down the activity of the nerve related issues which one might suffering chronically. I have been using GABA along with other supplements such as B-Complex to increase the effect of GABA. It is a great product and I will recommend any one with inner ear issues or Menier's disorder to consider I will also recommend start GABA with lower dose (200mg) then increase as you wish Thanks again for allowing me to present my comment on above product.

I know this is a good product - my local natural health food store carries this same brand and product and they vet their brands strictly. I bought this one through Amazon because it was easier than going back to the store. I got it to see if it would work for a family member's restless legs syndrome. I have read lots of books about RLS, and this is one of numerous supplements that some ppl with RLS may find helpful. So far, my family member cannot tell a difference from trying this supplement, but he is also already taking other supplements and Rx's so it may be just lost in the sauce. I tried this supplement out of curiosity and because I try a lot of things first as the guinea pig before giving it to my family member, and this supplement did seem to increase my REM dreaming at when taken at night, and when taken in the daytime it seemed to make me have symptoms of anxiety such as mild jitters and like "shuddering." I think it's worth experimenting to see what it does for you, but if you do: 1) tell someone that lives with you or someone you trust that you're trying something new and what it is 2) take less than the full recommended dose the first few times, just in case it has an adverse effect 3) try it in the morning 4) try it at night

I definitely slept through the night on this stuff and felt less anxiety the next day (hence the 3 stars), but I also couldn't put a coherent thought together the following day. It was worse than having not slept. I tried to open the capsules up and find a perfect dose where I got the sleep-inducing effects and none of the brain fog, but I was unable to find it.

Unbelievable for sound sleep. I take 750 mg.

Works great. No bad taste. Easy to swallow. Good value.

I usually do not leave reviews but I felt like I should this time. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I read that this supplement along with the L-Thia would help so I bought it. I wasn’t getting enough sleep and my nightmares started becoming very vivid and very constant. I had nightmares every morning before I woke up. I thought it was the fact that I was still dealing with some emotional issues but as soon as I stopped taking this and L-thia the nightmares stopped and I have been able to feel better AND sleep better. I read all the reviews before but buying this product and I know everyone is different so take caution when purchasing.
