In these capsules, NOW Foods combines 500mg of GABA with 2mg of vitamin B6. The two go together, and you'll read why further on. The bottle is available with 100 or 200 plant-based capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat GABA actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGABA stands for gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is an amino acid, but not a building block for proteins. Your body uses it as a neurotransmitter (a messenger substance between nerve cells). About a third of all nerve cells in your brain use GABA. It is also found in food, especially in fermented products such as kimchi, tempeh and some types of tea, and in sprouted brown rice. The name, by the way, says something about its structure. Gamma means that the amino group is at the third carbon position from the acid group, and butyric acid refers to the skeleton of four carbon atoms. Plants and bacteria also produce it, and in plants it plays a role, among other things, in the response to stress such as drought and cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy vitamin B6 is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour body produces GABA itself from glutamate. An enzyme is needed for this, glutamate decarboxylase, abbreviated GAD. And that enzyme cannot function without the active form of vitamin B6 as a cofactor. Without B6, that conversion therefore stalls. That is where the combination comes into play. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal psychological function. And vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. With 2mg per capsule, you get 143 percent of the reference intake, well within the safe margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW's advice is to take the capsule on an empty stomach, with water or juice. Then GABA does not compete with other amino acids from your meal for absorption in the intestine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose your size: the bottle with 100 capsules is a nice size to try out whether GABA fits into your daily routine, the bottle with 200 capsules is convenient if you use it daily. The capsules are made of cellulose, without gelatin, and are not produced with gluten, soy, milk or egg. NOW makes and tests them in their own GMP factories in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"100 capsules","offer_id":54816652427602,"sku":"Now-068","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 capsules","offer_id":54912259752274,"sku":"Now-069","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gaba-500mg-met-vitamine-b6-100-capsules-now-foods.jpg?v=1790166968","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/gaba-500mg-met-vitamine-b6-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
