GABA is a neurochemical that douses the electrical activity of neurons and stops them firing away continuously.
GABA quietens brain activity, helping us sleep, lowers blood pressure and relaxes the muscles.
Our body produces GABA naturally specifically in the brain and pancreas.
GABA deficiency can cause seizures, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorders.
Alcohol and drug abuse can disrupt the production of GABA in the body.
GABA is naturally found in chestnuts, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, sprouted grains, sweet potatoes, and fermented foods like kimchi.
