Gamma-aminobutyric Acid
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system of humans and other animals that helps regulate neurons and their response to stimuli. GABA plays an important role in the regulation of neuronal activity and is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system. GABA is also a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning that it reduces neural activity, resulting in a calming effect. In addition, it can also help reduce anxiety and depression. It is also used as a supplement to treat certain medical conditions, including epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. By acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA also influences several body processes, including heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.
