The health food supplement GABA , or gamma-aminobutyric acid , is a neurotransmitter present in the central nervous system. GABA levels in the brain can be influenced by a variety of factors, including diet , physical activity , sleep , and stress .

GABA is found naturally in a variety of foods , mostly plant-based. Fermented vegetables like kimchi, miso, and natto are rich in GABA due to the fermentation process. Green tea, especially matcha, also contains high levels of GABA. Sprouted grains, such as sprouted brown rice, barley, and wheat, are increased in GABA through the sprouting process. Some legumes, such as lentils and chickpeas, also contain it. Among fruits, bananas and tomatoes have moderate levels of this neurotransmitter. Walnuts and almonds are other natural sources of GABA, as are fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir.

Taking GABA as a dietary supplement is of particular interest because of its ability to be rapidly absorbed and assimilated by the body. In supplement form, GABA is formulated for optimal bioavailability , ensuring efficient absorption in the digestive system .
