Solgar GABA 500 mg, 100 Vegetable Capsules - Relaxation & Nervous System Support - Amino Acid - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Kosher - 100 Servings

It was like night and day (no pun intended) when using this product in terms of sleeping. I used to have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, but after using this product for a few days (with full effects maybe after a week of regular use) I was sleeping through the night, if only maybe getting up once to use the restroom (I drink a lot of water) but I would always fall right back asleep, which wasn't the case prior to taking GABA! I would highly, highly recommend this for anyone feeling anxious and/or having trouble sleeping, since it promotes relaxation of your central nervous system. Only thing to be cautious of, taking this without eating for a period time (I used to fast for 24 hours once a week) can produce some unpleasant though seemingly harmless (I can't be sure though since I'm not a doctor) side-effects. I would feel extreme tingling in my arms and torso, which was almost painful and definitely uncomfortable, as well as intense bouts of shortness of breath, which was also scary. I knew it was the GABA because I never had those sensations prior to taking GABA and I realized that eating regularly mitigates these side-effects. I am also a small person, 5'1" and 120lbs, so maybe the 500mgs twice a day is a lot for my system. I think after a while it suffices to take only pill per day, in the evening. My mother and my husband's mother have also been using GABA after hearing about it from me and they have reported the same benefits to their sleep at night. My mother also had the same side-effects when taken during prolonged periods of no eating. Overally I would highly recommend this product, it is very safe and very effective. Perhaps it doesn't work so well for literally every person, but it definitely worked for me and my loved ones and it's totally worth a try. And I'm someone who didn't feel anything from taking melatonin (though some people swear by that product).

My service during the Iraq war (2003) has led me to being prescribed Zoloft and for the past few years I have been tired of its effects (slowing me down and making me tired). I have been seeking natural remedies for the last year and found Gaba at a local health food store (Super Supplements) here in Washington state. It works and it does help me to be calm while having energy to get through the day AND (here is the best part) I have not had any serious anger, anxiety, or depression issues that I would get without taking anything at all. If you are looking for a more natural approach to treatment, try out the Solgar Gaba as it seems to be of good quality.I currently take three tablets in the morning (1500mg) with a variety of other supplements (fish oils, a quality multivitamin, vitamin D, and CoQ10). I have tried other brands of Gaba and this one seems to work a little better than the others but maybe that is just me. I highly recommend this product to anybody!

I bought these for my anxiety symptoms I was experiencing. And they work like a charm. For some reason they do make me groggy the next day however they were easy to open up and split them in half, I just bought some vegetable capsules to put the other half in.

GABA is gamma aminobutyric acid, an amino acid that is essential in the transmission of nerve impulses in the synapses in the brain. I did a lot of research about it, in addition to knowing about the product (psycho-pharmacology was a minor of mine when I was in grad school). I found that, from the first dose, I noticed a difference in my level of anxiety and that a neurological disorder that I have is being positively affected at a much slower rate. I did not expect that, but it's happening nevertheless. I'm extremely pleased with this product. Very few supplements have ever demonstrated such a clear difference so quickly. I'm getting absolutely no side effects from this product either, which is a fantastic plus. I highly recommend this product, but I would definitely check with a doctor who is knowledgeable about supplements before settling on the dosage. I started off with 500 mg/day, and settled at 1,000 mg/day. Also, if you're taking any anti-depressants, check with your doctor about taking GABA. Some of them aren't compatible, so I would be certain about it before taking GABA. I shall be purchasing more when mine run out, and from the same supplier.

I think this supplement has helped me with better sleep. All my sleep habits are the same, except, after taking GABA for a few weeks, I find that when I wake up at night, I now seem to be able to get back to sleep. Before I took GABA, when I woke up during the night, my mind would begin racing, and often I could not get back to sleep. I don't think it's a miracle supplement, but it did help me. My sleep habits need all the help they can get.

What an amazing product! The effect that I feel after taking Solgar's GABA is a life saver. I've been struggling with depression (and especially social anxiety) for many years now, and this product really helps. If you use drugs and alcohol to cope with social interactions (and life in general) this is a great natural alternative; without all the negative side effects. It relaxes your mind and brain , and allows you to face social interactions (and even sleep) better. I don't regret the investment one bit.

I tried GABA based on a friend's recommendation, the Solgar name which I trust, and research about GABA. I immediately noticed it is helping me sleep soundly and after a couple of weeks, I am feeling more calm overall. I highly recommend it as an alternative to anyone who is unwilling to use pharmaceuticals to help with sleep and anxiety.

This stuff is singlehandedly responsible for getting me out of a horrible funk. I also give it to my dog to help with her separation anxiety. It has been a real lifesaver. A couple of times when I've missed a dose, I could definitely tell. I don't know how or why this works, but it works.
