PharmaGABA® 

Fermented, Bioavailable GABA Chewables 

PharmaGABA® is the bioidentical form of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA is a naturally occurring  amino acid in the brain and a major inhibitory  neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. GABA  serves as a critical calming agent for the body, helping to  support mild or occasional stress and anxiety.* The GABA  in PharmaGABA® is formulated via fermentation of the  amino acid glutamic acid (glutamate) by Lactobacillus  hilgardii, the beneficial bacteria also used to ferment the  vegetables in kimchi and other fermented foods. 

GABA is a neurotransmitter in the brain and central  nervous system. It is naturally synthesized from the amino  acid glutamate, although some individuals may benefit  from additional amounts. While glutamate is an excitatory  neurotransmitter, GABA is inhibitory, which helps to  balance the stimulating effects of glutamate. GABA slows  down the activity of nerve cells and helps prevent them  from overfiring. Through this mechanism, GABA serves as  a calming agent for the body, helping to combat  occasional stress and anxiety.* Maintaining optimal GABA  levels may help support balanced moods and a healthy  response to stressful situations.*

STRESS/MOOD†

In stressful situations, GABA levels in the body may  decrease, contributing to an imbalance in this  

excitatory/inhibitory system. 

Because of the effect of GABA on the parasympathetic  nervous system, which is responsible for the relaxing “rest  and digest” state, as opposed to the “fight or flight”  feelings induced by the sympathetic nervous system,  PharmaGABA® may provide benefits to situations in which  a relaxed state of mind is necessary. If the mind is relaxed,  it allows for clear thinking, better focus, and greater  concentration. PharmaGABA® may also help promote a  calming effect before bedtime to help enhance sleep,  especially during times of occasional anxiety.* Its calming  effect on stress may also help to support a healthy  immune system.* 

PharmaGABA® is provided as a chewable tablet, which is  a delivery method that allows for rapid and efficient  absorption and assimilation. The tablets are free of  gluten and refined sugar, and are sweetened with xylitol  and stevia.
