How it works
PharmaGABA-100 is a natural supplement designed to support relaxation, mental clarity, and overall well-being. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the active ingredient in PharmaGABA, is a key neurotransmitter in the brain known for its calming effects. Unlike synthetic GABA, which has shown limited benefits in clinical studies, PharmaGABA is derived naturally through a fermentation process using Lactobacillus hilgardii, the same bacteria used in the traditional Korean dish kimchi. This natural form of GABA is clinically proven to reduce stress-related brain waves, such as beta waves, and increase calming alpha waves, promoting a deep sense of relaxation without compromising focus or mental sharpness.
Studies have shown that PharmaGABA can have a profound effect on stress reduction, including lowering biomarkers like salivary cortisol and chromogranin A, both of which are indicators of the body’s stress levels. Additionally, research has demonstrated that PharmaGABA can help regulate heart rate and pupil diameter, both of which tend to fluctuate during times of stress. By supporting the body’s natural relaxation response, PharmaGABA encourages a calm, composed state of mind and is ideal for anyone looking to reduce the negative impact of stress without the risk of dependency, as it is non-habit forming.
PharmaGABA-100 offers 100 mg of natural GABA per capsule, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a moderate dose to help manage daily stress. In a clinical trial involving strength training, participants who took PharmaGABA in combination with whey protein experienced significantly greater increases in lean muscle mass compared to those who only took protein. This suggests that PharmaGABA may also have a role in supporting physical fitness and recovery, making it a valuable addition to the routine of anyone looking to enhance their workout results or overall physical well-being.
