Hi,
I currently am taking fish oil supplements, but not with GABA currently. But I have tried it by itself in the past and noticed some calming effects from it, but more from the compound in Gaba Calm, mentioned above. Here is the full list of ingredients gor Gaba Calm:
GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid)
100 mg
Glycine
50 mg
Magnesium Taurinate
40 mg
Yielding 3 mg of Elemental Magnesium
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine25 mgFrom what reading I've done on GABA, taking it in tablets does not pass the blood brain barrier. Is there more research available that you know of?
Currently I take Neurontin which "may" increase GABA levels, though I've read synthetic versions of it such as Neurontin (Gabapentin) typically cause more sedation than anything else. Thinking of switching or augmenting with another anticonvulsant with my pdoc that may be a better combo.
I'm still researching fish oil for the best formulas and daily dosage. Will check out the threads below.
But interested in the GABA and Fish Oil combo too.
Best,
Gaba Girl
