The formula contains Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) which is the main calming neurotransmitter in the body. GABA is both an amino acid and a neurotransmitter naturally found in the body. The other ingredients including glycine and niacinamide, help support a more calm and relaxed mood. In addition, vitamin B6 increases the effectiveness of GABA.
When the brain has a lack of GABA, several disorders may develop including anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, and depression. GABA is an effective and safe nutritional tranquilizer that some people need to control seizures or rise above anxious or depressive feelings. Exposure to estrogens, free radicals, salicylates, or food additives can affect our internal supply of GABA. A low-protein diet can also hinder production, as can an insufficient amount of zinc or vitamin B6, both of which help the body to make the nutrient.
