    GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that prevents over-firing of nerve cells in the central nervous system. It is used to treat epilepsy, hypertension, anxiety, and stress by blocking impulses from reaching the motor centers of the brain. A deficiency in GABA may cause panic attacks, while very high intake can cause side effects like anxiety, tingling, shortness of breath, and numbness.

    GABA is required for

    GABA is required as an inhibitory neurotransmitter to block the transmission of an impulse from one cell to another in the central nervous system, which prevents over-firing of the nerve cells. It is also used for brain metabolism and to treat both epilepsy and hypertension where it is thought to induce tranquility in individuals who have a high activity of manic behavior and acute agitation. In combination with inositol and nicotinamide it helps with blocking anxiety and stress related impulses from reaching the motor centers of the brain. Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid can be used to calm a person, much like tranquilizers, but without the possibility of addiction.

    Deficiency of GABA
    It has been suggested that a shortage of GABA may cause panic attacks, since an intake of tranquilizers can increase the level of GABA in the body. GABA may also be effective in treating PMS in women.

    Toxicity and symptoms of high intake


    Toxic levels have not been established, but very high intake of GABA may cause anxiety, tingling of extremities, shortness of breath as well as a numb feeling around the mouth.
