Description

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major calming brain chemical or neurotransmitter.* Clinical studies show that the natural form of GABA that is in Thorne's PharmaGABA can decrease the brain's stress-related beta waves and increase the production of its alpha-waves, creating a profound sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus.* Other studies have shown reduced pupil diameter, heart rate, and two natural biomarkers of stress – salivary cortisol and chromogranin A – all signs of relaxation.* In addition, studies also indicate GABA can enhance sleep.* In a head-to-head, double-blind trial of natural PharmaGABA versus synthetic GABA, the synthetic GABA did not demonstrate these positive effects.* PharmaGABA-250 offers 250 mg of natural GABA per capsule, while PharmaGABA-100 offers 100 mg per capsule. Both are non-habit forming.

In a recent study of the effect of nutrient supplementation on muscle mass, 21 males, average age 39, who did not exercise regularly, were given 10 grams of whey protein or 10 grams of whey protein plus 100 mg of PharmaGABA daily for 12 weeks. Both groups participated in twice weekly 60-minute strength training sessions that consisted of leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, chest presses, and pull-downs. Total body lean muscle mass increased significantly in the whey protein-plus-PharmaGABA group compared to the whey-only group.*

The natural GABA in Thorne's PharmaGABA suite is produced via a fermentation process that utilizes Lactobacillus hilgardii, the same bacteria that is used to ferment cabbage in the preparation of the traditional Korean dish known as kimchi.

Is PharmaGABA-100 worth it compared to regular GABA supplements?

PharmaGABA-100 uses a naturally fermented form of GABA, which clinical studies suggest is more effective than synthetic alternatives. Research shows it can increase calming alpha brain waves, reduce cortisol, and lower heart rate. Synthetic GABA supplements lack this clinical backing. If you're seeking measurable stress relief and mental focus support, PharmaGABA-100 offers a research-supported advantage that many users find well worth the investment.

What is PharmaGABA-100 and what does it do?

PharmaGABA-100 is a dietary supplement featuring natural gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a key calming neurotransmitter in the brain. It is clinically shown to increase alpha brain waves and reduce stress-related beta waves, promoting physical relaxation without mental fogginess. It also helps reduce stress biomarkers like cortisol and chromogranin A, as well as heart rate and pupil diameter, making it a comprehensive natural stress support supplement.

How is the GABA in PharmaGABA-100 different from synthetic GABA?

The GABA in PharmaGABA-100 is naturally produced through a fermentation process, making it structurally identical to the GABA your body produces. Clinical research specifically conducted on this natural form demonstrates measurable effects on brain activity and stress markers. Synthetic GABA used in many other supplements lacks this research support and may not deliver the same results.

When is the best time to take PharmaGABA-100?

PharmaGABA-100 can be taken during stressful periods throughout the day or before situations that typically cause anxiety, such as public speaking or intense workouts. Some users also take it in the evening to support relaxation before sleep. Follow the dosage instructions on the label and consult your healthcare provider to determine the timing that best fits your individual needs.

Is PharmaGABA-100 safe and are there any side effects?

PharmaGABA-100 is manufactured by Thorne, a brand known for rigorous quality standards and third-party testing. Natural GABA is generally well tolerated. Most users experience no significant side effects. However, individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications should consult a healthcare professional before use. As with any supplement, starting at the recommended dose and monitoring your body's response is always a smart approach.
