Application:
Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (γ-Aminobutyric acid) (also called GABA for short) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays the principal role in reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. In humans, GABA is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone.
GABA is a very important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, it is a naturally occurring non-protein composition of amino acids, has an extremely important physiological function, it can promote the activation of the brain, brain puzzle , Anti-epilepsy, promote sleep, beauty emollient, delay brain aging function, can supplement the human inhibitory neurotransmitter, has a good antihypertensive effect. Promote renal function improvement and protection. Inhibition of fatty liver and obesity, activation of liver function. Daily supplement of trace amounts of gamma aminobutyric acid is conducive to the relief of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, but also promote the balance of amino acid metabolism in the human body, regulating immune function.
The physiological activity of GABA mainly in the following aspects:
(1) Sedative nerves, anti-anxiety. GABA can be combined with anxiolytic brain receptors and activation, and then work with other substances to prevent anxiety-related information to reach the brain indicative center.
(2) Lower blood pressure. GABA can act on the vascular center of the spinal cord, effectively promote blood vessel dilation, to reduce blood pressure. According to reports, Astragalus and other effective antihypertensive ingredients of Chinese medicine is GABA.
(3) Treatment of disease. GABA was associated with the formation of certain diseases. In addition, the reduction of GABA in nerve tissue is also associated with Huntington disease, senile dementia and other neurodevelopment related to the formation.
(4) Lower blood ammonia. GABA can inhibit the decarboxylation of glutamate reaction, the blood ammonia decreased. More glutamate and ammonia combined to form urea in vitro to remove ammonia toxicity, thereby enhancing liver function. Intake of GABA can improve the activity of glucose phosphatase, so that brain cell activity, can promote brain metabolism and restore brain cell function, improve neurological function.
(5) To improve brain activity. GABA can enter the brain tricarboxylic acid cycle, and promote brain cell metabolism, but also improve the glucose metabolism of glucose phosphatase activity, increased acetylcholine production, expansion of blood vessels to increase blood flow and lower blood ammonia, and promote brain metabolism, Restore brain cell function.
(6) To promote ethanol metabolism. To drinkers for the object, taking GABA 60ml whiskey and then drink blood after the determination of blood alcohol and acetaldehyde concentration, which was significantly lower than the concentration of the control group.
(7) Other. The latest research shows that GABA also has to prevent skin aging, eliminate body odor, improve lipid metabolism, prevent arteriosclerosis and other functions to lose weight.
Storage:store in a dry,shade,cool and draughty place.
