Very recently, I've been taking GABA bonded w/ Niacinamide and Inositol. I used 750mg GABA caps from GNC. I seem to get somewhat a calming after taking it when I bond it w/ those.
So, I considered doing was devising a "Stack" for dissipating anxiety and helping me sleep through the night. Here's what the "Stack" will involve:
Customized name of my stack-
Sleeper's GABA Stack
Total of 3,200mg of ingredients per serving
Ingredients-
1,500mg of GABA --|
Bonded with all of the following:
500mg Niacinamide
500mg Inositol
500mg Taurine
200mg 5-HTP
0.75mg MelatoninFunctions:
This stack should help with sleep, anxiety & racing thoughts, and maybe some depressive symptoms.
The inositol and niacinamide help the GABA get into the blood brain barrier. GABA is calming and helps keep the brain from going into overdrive. It is implicated in bipolar mania, anxiety, and insomnia. GABA by itself doesn't cross the blood brain barrier very well so it needs to be bonded with other stuff. The Taurine enhances the function of the GABA and reduces glutamate (also implicated in bipolar). Another importance for Taurine in reducing glutamate levels is that glutamate is evil when it comes to depression! 5-HTP helps in production of serotonin which is helpful for sleep, some forms of anxiety, obessions/compulsions, and depression. Melatonin provides the hormones to initiate sleep. This should be a great combo for a good Serotonin and GABA boost for anxiolytic and sleep-inducing effects.
What do you think of this?
Anyone ever tried a combo or anything similar to this?
Did it do anything?
Also, the nightime dose of magnesium taurate I take should synergize well with this stack.
All of this will be taken right before sleep.
What do you think of something like this?
