GABA for stress and anxious thoughts

Given GABA’s role in balancing out the excitatory effects of glutamine, it’s thought that it also helps to keep feelings of stress in check (this is why many anti-anxiety drugs target GABA-A receptors). Several studies illustrate how adequate GABA levels can trigger calming effects.

In one small study, researchers had participants consume either distilled water, distilled water with L-theanine (a calming compound in green tea), or distilled water with a natural form of GABA (PharmaGABA). Sixty minutes later, they measured their brain waves with an electroencephalogram (EEG) test and found that GABA significantly increased participants’ alpha brainwaves (which are typically generated in a relaxed state) and decreased beta brainwaves (typically seen in stressful situations) compared to L-theanine or water.
