Gaba - Swanson

With GABA , Swanson offers a quality health food supplement .

Indeed, Gaba , or gamma-aminobutyric acid , is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system , essential for regulating neuronal excitability by reducing the activity of neurons in the brain .

Chemically, it is a non-proteinogenic amino acid , synthesized from glutamate by the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase . Gaba acts by binding to specific receptors, such as GABA_A and GABA_B receptors, resulting in decreased neuronal activity .

To manufacture the GABA product, Swanson begins with a fermentation process, where microorganisms , such as Lactobacillus brevis , convert glutamate into Gaba in tanks under controlled conditions. After fermentation, the Gaba is recovered and purified through filtration, precipitation and chromatography techniques, before being crystallized into a pure, stable powder . This powder is then precisely formulated into capsules . The final product undergoes rigorous quality controls to ensure its purity and safety before being packaged.

This food supplement is particularly appreciated by athletes who put a lot of strain on their nervous system in their discipline, such as bodybuilding , powerlifting or weightlifting practitioners.
