How it works
PharmaGABA-250 by Thorne is a high-quality, natural supplement designed to support mental relaxation and physical calm. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a key neurotransmitter in the brain known for its calming effects. Clinical studies show that the natural form of GABA in PharmaGABA-250 helps to reduce stress-related beta waves while boosting alpha waves in the brain. This shift promotes deep physical relaxation while preserving mental clarity and focus, making it an ideal choice for those looking to manage stress without compromising productivity. Additionally, GABA has been linked to improved sleep, further enhancing its ability to support overall well-being.
PharmaGABA-250 contains 250 mg of natural GABA per capsule, making it a powerful option for individuals who need effective stress relief. Unlike synthetic GABA, which has not been shown to provide the same benefits, the natural GABA in PharmaGABA-250 has been proven to help lower biomarkers of stress, such as cortisol and chromogranin A. These benefits extend beyond relaxation, as studies also show that it can help decrease pupil diameter and heart rate, both signs of a more relaxed state.
What sets PharmaGABA apart is its production process, which uses a natural fermentation method with Lactobacillus hilgardii—the same bacteria used in making kimchi. This process ensures that the GABA in PharmaGABA-250 is pure, potent, and bioavailable, offering superior results compared to synthetic alternatives. For those seeking a non-habit forming way to manage stress, PharmaGABA-250 is an excellent choice, providing all the benefits of GABA without the risk of dependency.
In addition to its mental health benefits, PharmaGABA has shown positive results in physical health studies. A recent trial revealed that participants who combined PharmaGABA with whey protein experienced a greater increase in lean muscle mass compared to those who took whey protein alone. This makes PharmaGABA-250 a valuable addition to any fitness routine, enhancing muscle growth and recovery alongside its calming effects. With third-party testing to verify its purity and potency, you can trust that each capsule contains exactly what is promised without harmful contaminants.
