Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA)

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring, non-proteinogenic amino acid that functions as the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. 

As a food ingredient, GABA can modulate neuronal excitability and is commonly included in sleep-support supplements and functional beverages to promote relaxation, reduce stress responses and improve sleep quality. Formulations typically target functional food and nutraceutical markets focused on stress relief and restorative sleep.    

 


PRODUCT DETAILS

Function

  • Neuromodulation and Mood‑soothing Effect 

As an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, GABA suppresses nerve excitation, relieves anxiety and stress, improves sleep quality.

(shortens sleep‑onset latency and extends deep‑sleep duration).

  • Growth‑hormone Secretion Stimulation

Gamma-aminobutyric Acid stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone, supporting growth and development, muscle repair and fat metabolism.

  • Blood Pressure Regulation

GABA inhibits angiotensin‑converting enzyme and assists in blood pressure reduction, with notable effects for people with mild hypertension.

  • Hepatic and Renal Protection

GABA accelerates alcohol metabolism and alleviates alcohol‑induced liver injury; it improves renal function and relieves uremia symptoms.


Application

  • Food Industry

Sleep‑aid functional beverages, tablet candies, baked goods, dairy products, foods for special medical purposes.

  • Dietary Supplements

Sleep‑aid supplements, stress‑relief products, sports nutrition (recovery support), mood‑modulating supplements.

  • Feed Industry

Feed additive for livestock, poultry   and aquaculture; anti‑stress, growth‑performance improvement, stress‑response reduction.


Our Advantage:

GABA is the brain's natural brake pedal.

It inhibits nervous system excitation and is clinically shown to reduce anxiety and improve sleep onset. 

In Today's high-stress market, this is a top-trending ingredient. 

Our GABA is 98% pure, clean label, and water-soluble

Perfect for functional beverages, sleep-aid capsules, and anti-stress formulations. 

Also approved for animal feed use.
