About This Product

  • Supports relaxation and mental focus
  • Suitable for everyday wellness seekers
  • Free of gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, sugar, salt, and artificial colors or flavors

The Vitamin Shoppe® brand GABA tablets can help you manage stress while supporting relaxation and mental focus. When the brain feels threatened, it releases stress-inducing hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a naturally occurring chemical in the brain that helps combat these stress stimulants.

These convenient once-daily tablets help make striving for balanced wellness easy—because a healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body.

Shortness of Breath
First time trying this brand of GABA. It gave me horrible shortness of breath , dizziness, and a tingling sensation. Couldn't even speak a sentence without being out of breath. I normally take the same dosage in a different brand too, so I don't think it was a dose issue.

Made me feel wired or weird!
I heard that taking Gaba was a good way to relax and get better sleep. This is a big deal to me, as I have had sleep issues for decades and prefer not to take sleeping pills, if I can help it. The first night I tried this, I felt wired and it took me forever to fall asleep. I wanted to make sure it wasn't the pills, so I waited a few nights and tried it again. The same thing: my mind was racing and I couldn't fall asleep. I gave it one more shot, but still the same reaction. So, I decided I would try the reverse and take it during the day, hoping it would give me some extra energy in the morning and throughout the day. Instead, what I noticed (since this time I wasn't lying in bed and trying to sleep) is it made me feel a little sick and strange in the head -- like somebody had slipped me something. The feeling was a little scary. Again, I waited a few days and tried it again to make sure it was the Gaba. I tried this several times and each time I got the same reaction, so I KNOW it was the Gaba. I would not recommend this.

Amazing Product
I started taking Gaba for stress and mood swings. All the worrying, anxiety and stress that Work and family life can bring on can be overwhelming. With in 1 hour of taking Gaba, i feel real calm, no anxiety, and the stress of the day seems to be more manageable, i am more focused and relaxed. YOU DEFINITELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT AWAY. This product works and i cant say enough about it.

Why did you choose this?

helps with moods

Astral projection research.

Its been a staple in my night routine. It makes it easy for me to fall asleep, and I get vivid dreams most nights

When do you take this? Does it make you sleepy if you take it during the day? If so, what time of day? (That is, breakfast, lunch, dinner.)

Best Answer:  I take one tablet three times daily at 6-hour intervals. It does not make me sleepy.

Seeing as GABA cannot cross the blood brain barrier to reach GABAminergic receptors, how exactly does this product work? It is peculiar not only because one is ingesting a "neurotransmitter", but that one can even be manufactured so readily.

Alongside this, what methods do you currently use to verify that GABA is being increased in the brain? Currently systematic measurement of neurotransmitters is not available.

Thank you!

I am taking Gabapentin 300 MG for sciatica, is it safe for me to wean myself off this medication and start taking GABA?
Does this have anything else in it? my daughter has mthfr gene mutation and cannot take the gaba/l-theanine stress one because it has folic acid in it. Her body cannot process folic acid.

Best Answer:  Just GABA. Science has found out about the benefits of GABA, so they add it to other supplements and pharmacueticals...they even add GABA to makeup! I have been taking GABA for about 20 years. Hope this helps your daughter.

I don't see anything in the warnings on it... Can it be crushed or split, or does it have to stay in its whole form?

Best Answer:  I have broken them in half before with no problem. Since it is an amino acid I see no reason why you could not crush it. It is a wonderful product and helps me very much.

how long does it stay in your system? _ just took one pill

Best Answer:  When you take a vitamin it is to build up viamins/minerals or in this case a amino that you dont get enough of. Gaba is a amino that people fall short of. So you take it to build up your level, Its not like a medication that only last 4-12 hrs depending on the delivery. So i take it 2xs a day and then take a break. I can tell when i have enough cause i get kind of a flushing feeling similar too the feeling you get when you take niacin but not quite that strong. Im very intuned too what my body needs and you can be too. Listen to your intunition that will help you so much. And take in lots of information on your health but be careful not all is correct thats where your intunition comes in. Ive been studying natural medicine/ healthy living for over 25 years. Gaba is a great tool i use often to keep anxiety/sleep patterns in check. Good luck. Enjoy your life.

Can it reduce anxiety and/or panic attacks?

Best Answer:  It is a non-essential inhibitory amino acid that can indirectly help with anxiety and eventually will reduce your anxiety. It is not the same as taking a sedative for a panic attack, which would work within 20 minutes. GABA gets more at the source in the brain that contributes to you experiencing over-anxiousness.

Does GABA help with sleep disorder?

Best Answer:  Among other things, GABA is involved in the production of Melatonin, which controls sleep cycles. I take GABA during the day and Melatonin before I go to bed.

When is the best time to take it for sleep?

Best Answer:  It is suggested within 1/2 hr of bedtime. I take it at bedtime but have tv on for about 1/2 hour

Is GABA safe for use with children? With adults, is GABA safe to take with 5-HTP and is it more beneficial to take together for anxiety, agitation, and depression?
