Have you heard of this: Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)


Don't laugh, I have sucker written all over my face. I bought this stuff without a clue what it was, but I haven't taken it yet. I actually bought it a while back, but was too embarrassed to ask about it (because I'm such a sucker ) so I just stuck it in a drawer and forgot about it. Supposedly it's supposed to help not only with muscle growth and fat loss, but with sleep as well. I am a chronic insomniac so this was the selling point for me. Like a moth to a flame .

Anyway, do any of you have any knowledge about it?

Here's a link: 100% GABA powder

I AM NOT PROMOTING THIS PRODUCT (or the company)!!!!! I just used bodybuilding.com as my link because I know it's been mentioned here before and they sell it.

I believe that Dr. Colgan (of Muscular Development and book fame) rated this supplement as useless along with boron and a few others. If you have sleeping problems (welcome to the club) you'd probably be better of with melatonin which regulates your body's internal clock (the circadian rhythm).

GABA does in fact help you sleep. It also makes me feel short of breath about 3 minutes after I take it. Odd, but harmless.

I think I've tried all the GH releasers. They are pretty much bunk, or if they do raise GH, then it's not enough to do you any good.

Give it a whirl, it's at least has helpful as melatonin.

Boron was another one of those supps that companies compared to dbol for effect. What a waste!
