GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and plays a role in regulating communication between brain cells. GABA supplements are sometimes taken for their calming or relaxing effects.

GABA is primarily associated with these functions: 

• reducing anxiety

• promoting relaxation

• regulating sleep

GABA may have an indirect impact on cognitive functioning: 

• Anxiety Reduction 

• Sleep Quality  

• Neurotransmitter Balance 

• Brain Health 

A deeper look at GABA

1. Anxiety Reduction: By inhibiting certain brain signals, GABA can help reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. Lowering anxiety levels can improve cognitive performance, as excessive stress and worry can impair concentration, memory, and decision-making abilities.

2. Sleep Quality: GABA is involved in promoting sleep by calming the nervous system. Quality sleep is crucial for cognitive function, as it allows the brain to consolidate memories, process information, and rejuvenate itself for the next day.

3. Neurotransmitter Balance: GABA interacts with other neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are also involved in cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and mood regulation. Maintaining a balance between these neurotransmitters is important for optimal cognitive functioning.

4. Brain Health: Some research suggests that GABA may have neuroprotective effects, helping to preserve the health and function of neurons in the brain. A healthy brain is better equipped to support cognitive functions.
