When
we become overwhelmed with stress and anxiety the brain typically
responds by producing more of the amino acid GABA. GABA increases
production of alpha brain waves (associated with a relaxed, yet alert
state) and decreases beta brain waves (associated with nervousness
and hyperactivity). However, many people with anxiety and insomnia
do not manufacture sufficient levels of GABA and supplementation may
be necessary.
Natural
Factors GABA is made with PharmaGABA, a 100% natural form proven
to cross the blood/brain barrier unlike synthetic forms.
Although
other nutrients such as L-Theanine can also increase alpha brain waves,
GABA is more powerful and can provide a quick fix in circumstances
of extreme stress, as with phobias and fears.
