GABA: Going Old School!
Nov 20, 2008
Gamma-Aminobutryic Acid or GABA is a powerful amino acid that was first discovered in 1883 in Berlin Germany. It is actually classified as a neurotransmitter, which means it helps nerve impulses cross the synapses (gaps) and communicate better. GABA has a many positive benefits for your nervous system.
GABA also has some surprising effects when it comes to promoting fat loss. GABA stimulates the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). It is HGH that has been found in studies to facilitate the metabolism of fats in the body. HGH is also known for it’s powerful muscle-building effects, which is a plus.
Increasing HGH is definitely a good thing, especially for bodybuilders or anyone over 30. HGH tends to decrease naturally with age, so the older you get, the harder it is to lose fat. That’s one reason GABA has become so popular with people when they start to age.
Clinical studies have shown that GABA increases the body’s sleeping cycle and people report more vivid dreams than usual. Getting a good night’s sleep and obtaining more rest can lead to more energy throughout the day. Not to mention, increasing fat loss and promoting muscle growth also leads to an increase in energy. More energy and feelings of vigor are common side effects of GABA supplementation!
Last but not least, GABA has been shown to be very effective in treating pain associated with arthritis or pain in the lower back. Most scientific research indicates that the proper amounts of GABA to take per day are a minimum of 2 grams. Better results have been found when supplementing with 5 grams per day. For serious results, studies have found that supplementing between 5 and 18 grams works well. If GABA is being taken for fat loss, it’s best to take it about 2 hours before going to bed, since that is when production of HGH is the best. For pain support, GABA can be taken anytime and be effective.

I’ve been taking Dymatize’s GABA, well for as long as I can remember and love it!!! My doctor actually turned me onto it because of the pain I was having in my mid-section, legs and back. (Used to be a gymnast!) It works great for relieving my pain.

My dad is very athletic and has always worked out for as long as I can remember. As he gets older, he doesn’t recover as quickly as he used to. He started taking Red Dawn’s Gaba supplement to help with some minor arthritis issues he was having. Now he is like a totally different person. He gets a good night’s sleep now and is able to hit his weights harder because he has improved his recovery and achiness so much. Great product!
