Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major calming brain chemical or
neurotransmitter.*
Clinical studies show that the natural form of GABA
that is in Thorne's PharmaGABA can decrease the brain's stress-related
beta waves and increase the production of its alpha-waves, creating a
profound sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus.*
Other studies have shown reduced pupil diameter, heart rate, and two
natural biomarkers of stress – salivary cortisol and chromogranin A –
all signs of relaxation.* In addition, studies also indicate GABA can
enhance sleep.* In a head-to-head, double-blind trial of natural
PharmaGABA versus synthetic GABA, the synthetic GABA did not demonstrate
these positive effects.* PharmaGABA-250 offers 250 mg of natural GABA
per capsule, while PharmaGABA-100 offers 100 mg per capsule. Both are
non-habit forming.
In a recent study of the effect of nutrient
supplementation on muscle mass, 21 males, average age 39, who did not
exercise regularly, were given 10 grams of whey protein or 10 grams of
whey protein plus 100 mg of PharmaGABA daily for 12 weeks. Both groups
participated in twice weekly 60-minute strength training sessions that
consisted of leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, chest presses, and
pull-downs. Total body lean muscle mass increased significantly in the
whey protein-plus-PharmaGABA group compared to the whey-only group.*
The
natural GABA in Thorne's PharmaGABA suite is produced via a
fermentation process that utilizes Lactobacillus hilgardii, the same
bacteria that is used to ferment cabbage in the preparation of the
traditional Korean dish known as kimchi.
