What is Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)?
GABA is a non-coding amino acid that doesn’t participate in protein synthesis. It’s a crucial inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human body, a chemical used by the nervous system to transmit information and regulate function. GABA helps improve sleep quality, regulate physical and mental stress, reduce anxiety, and has a calming effect. It occurs naturally in various foods, such as tea, cheese, and tomatoes, and is also found in fermented foods like kimchi, though at very low levels. Highassay’s GABA raw material is produced through a lactic acid bacteria fermentation process. It exhibits excellent water solubility and heat stability, and its concentration is higher than other preparation methods, making it suitable as a new food resource to supplement inadequate dietary intake.
How does Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid work?
GABA, as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, is known for its ability to relieve anxiety and improve sleep. GABA is a natural sedative that helps prevent the brain from becoming overly excited. Taking an appropriate amount of GABA can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and help you fall asleep more quickly. Although oral GABA doesn’t reach the brain directly, it can still regulate your mood after being broken down in the body, suppressing overexcitement and alleviating anxiety.
Why choose Highassay?
GABA is widely found in vertebrates, plants, and microorganisms, and its applications span a wide range of fields. It was approved as a new resource food in my country on September 27, 2009. The GABA raw materials provided by Highassay are produced using microbial fermentation technology. Besides being cost-effective, their most significant advantages are safety and reliability, with low levels of heavy metals and impurities. Furthermore, we incorporate intestinal probiotics, which not only enhance the physiological functions of GABA but also provide new possibilities for health. Finally, our raw materials are certified vegan, ensuring product authenticity and making them more vegetarian-friendly.

Benefits of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid for Sleep Disorders
The four symptoms of sleep disorders are:
- decreased sleep volume, such as difficulty falling asleep and light sleep
- increased sleep volume, such as hypersomnia
- abnormal sleep behaviors, such as sleepwalking and nightmares
- altered sleep-wake rhythms
Sleep disorders are caused by a variety of factor:
- biological factors such as genetics and body temperature fluctuations
- psychosocial factors such as internal conflicts and cognitive errors
- stress and environmental factors such as lifestyle stress and sleeping environment
- other psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression
Mechanisms of sleep improvement:
- Gut-brain axis
- brain tissue permeability
- metabolic pathways in the body, namely, metabolic products
Effects of GABA:
- It can promote relaxation
- It can promote physical and mental balance
- It can help people fall asleep quickly and easily
