Memorable Moments:

“GABA plays a role in the body’s ability to handle stress and affects focus and concentration.”

“For children with ADHD, GABA may help in moderating symptoms by reducing neuronal excitability.”

“Low GABA levels can contribute to anxiety, difficulty relaxing, and issues with sleep.”

“GABA’s calming properties can help alleviate anxiety, leading to better focus and reduced hyperactivity.”

“GABA supplements may not be absorbed as effectively due to the blood-brain barrier, so quality matters.”

“Fermented foods and whole grains can naturally increase GABA levels in the body.”

“Regular physical activity, mindfulness, and meditation practices can also increase GABA levels naturally.”

“Although GABA has potential benefits, it should not be seen as a be-all, end-all solution for ADHD.”
