      Product Info

      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.

      Did not realize I was ordering tablets, rather than capsules
      These large tablets are somewhat difficult to swallow, and take longer to begin working, than the capsules I'm accustomed to. They were ordered online to arrive at my home, and I wish I had not opened them. I much prefer the capsules which go to work faster, and help with onset of sleep sooner. I will not buy these tablets again.

      Great for sleep or anxiety
      Highly recommend this. While I only take one before bed and it helps me get to and stay asleep, it gives a great sense of warmth washing over and causing relaxation.

      does gaba help calm when having panic attacks or anxiety?
      veronica g.Sep 13, 2013

      Best Answer:  The chewable GABA is better for panic or anxiety, typically taking affect in about 10 minutes. The swallowed pill seems to keep me calm throughout the day.

      What is the best time of day to take gaba?
      Willie TDec 6, 2013

      Best Answer:  If you're the type of person who needs coffee to get going in the morning, take it before bed. If you the type of person that doesn't need coffee (high strung) take it any time of day. It really depends on what you are attempting to achieve from the supplement.

      Have you found that the GABA makes you drowsy so that it needs to be taken at night or is it fine to take during the day?
      MelanieJul 26, 2014

      Best Answer:  Never noticed any drowsiness. My husband and I take it in the evening to help our minds "settle" after busy days at work. I once bought it for a young man that had ADD and was having a hard time passing his exams to become an EMT. He took this daily, along with B vitamins and some magnesium and noticed great improvement on his attention span.
      I didn't make any of us sleepy. Just helped us feel as though our minds weren't racing. Hope this helps.
