Thanks Jas. I was surprised when I was told by the one on-line supplement shop that Gaba products could not be sold and shipped to Canadian customers. The other company that did sell and ship the Gaba Plus to me certainly did not try to hide the fact that it was Gaba Plus. And, I remember years ago seeing Gaba for sale at a natural pharmacy in the city where I live and that I used to go to. Maybe the one company was being overly cautious or had dated information. Or, perhaps the prohibition is relatively recent. Well, I am likely going to try to order some Picamilon from the unmentionable site (is that where you got yours?) soon and see what happens.
Sam-e has been available where I live as well.
Take care.

> Firstly, GABA, by itself, is available in all my local health food stores. Since it is displayed openly on the shelves, I would be surprised if it's restricted at the moment. There's been a constant shift in "what's OK, and what's not" in recent months. Most amino acids are available ('cept tryptophan), Sam-e is now in my local store, too! (It was "banned" for ages). I think the government guidelines are being tested by various importers.
