GABA (Gamma amino butyric acid) is one of the non essential amino acid that is synthesized in the brain from another amino acid Glutamic acid. In brain it acts as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger that transmits signals from one cell to another) that works efficiently for calming your mood and reduces anxiety. It also plays an important role in improving the brain functions. This amino acid not only shows soothing effects on brain but also slows down the heart rate and regulates breathing. It is also act as sleep inducing agent. In your brain if the level of GABA declines you will become anxious and uneasy GABA can help you to relax. Reduce secretion of GABA in brain may also lead to a number of neurological problems such as sleep disorder and epilepsy/seizures.

Stimulating growth Hormone secretion:

GABA has been used to enhance the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland (master gland of the body that affects secretion of most of the hormones). Since human growth hormone is involved in the fat metabolism its deficiency causes accumulation of fat around the hips and waist. Another problem associated with the low level of growth hormone is reduced thinking capability. In these conditions GABA indirectly improves physical and mental performance as well as decreasing the body fat by increasing the level of growth hormone.

Functions in different health problems:

This amino acid can suppress the activity of brain cells so it may be effective in treatment of certain over stimulated brain disorders such as attention deficit disorder and epilepsy.
