GABA is a neurotranamittor which controls fear and anxiety when neurons become overexcited.
A deficiency of GABA can help explain why some people have anxiety disorders or panic attacks.
GABA is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone.
GABA does not cross the blood-brain barrier which is why supplementation is probably ineffective.
The amino acid L-glutamine is the precursor to GABA production.
Zinc and B6 also help in the production of GABA.
Some foods can stimulate the body to produce more GABA; such as oolong tea, cherry tomatoes, anything fermented (kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, tempeh).
