What natural ways can enhance GABA production?

Question

Is it possible to enhance the natural production of GABA in the brain through natural approaches?

Answer 1

Indeed, there are ways in which GABA production can be increased naturally. These include relaxation techniques such as meditation, breathwork and yoga which help achieve balance in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and hence inhibit GABA levels. Further, some herbal supplements like valerian root and kava, or some mushrooms like Amanita muscaria which contains agarin, can act positively on GABA receptors increasing GABA neurotransmission. It is also essential to have sufficient magnesium and vitamin B6 that are required for the synthesis of GABA from glutamate.

Such a great conversation! Now I know why my GABA powder did nothing to me (apart from troubles breathing). It's  interesting to know that it's glutamate/GABA system that rules our parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, I always thought it was dopamin and serotonin.
Great to learn something new! For my speedy brain 5-HTP+ashwagandha works great, but the biggest change for the better was when I reduced to half my phone screen time (especially in PM). And I think to do things outdoors is important, sport hobbies +get the vitD from the sunlight. In short, live more like before smartphones were invented.

Yoga and meditation unfortunately stems from Hinduism spiritual worship, although you will get benefits initially, you are also conjuring spiritual entities by consenting to the entities you unwittingly worship. Some practitioners end up with sleep paralysis, choking, weird apparitions…I’m not a Bible bashed but Jesus is the creator of all things and the only one we need to find true peace, true Love, true forgiveness. Investigate ex Yoga instructors who finally turn to Jesus, leaving their whole career in new Age behind.
