GABAMax
Natural Neurotransmitter Support
GABAMax formula is
designed to address neurotransmitter over-stimulation and is used in
patients with high catecholamine turnover or increased GABA
excretion. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the
brain and regulates neurotransmitter activity to prevent
over-stimulation.C
This formula supports serotonin and GABA but contains N-acetyltyrosine
instead of phenylalanine. The small amount tyrosine will provide
neurotransmitter balance by supporting catecholamine synthesis but
will not increase PEA.
GABAMax is used during the initial phase of neurotransmitter therapy
to reduce catecholamine excretion prior to using other formulas
which increase neurotransmitter levels. It my also be part of the
ongoing therapy for patients with neurotransmitter
over-stimulation.
Explanation of Ingredients
Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea. It has been
widely studied for its ability to provide a calming effect by
modulating the excretion of serotonin and catecholamines
(epinephrine and NE) and reducing the uptake of the stimulatory
amino acid, glutamate.
Theanine also protects nerve cells which are exposed to
over-stimulation. This may be the reason for its ability to prevent
brain damage in stroke patients.
Taurine is an inhibitory amino acid that acts by enhancing
the effect of GABA. Together, these two amino acids can quickly
reduce high neurotransmitter excretion.
L-5-HTP is the direct amino acid precursor to serotonin.
Taken orally,
L- 5-hydroxytryptophan is readily absorbed from the GI tract into
the bloodstream where it crosses the blood/brain barrier and is
readily converted into serotonin by the action of enzymes.
N-acetyltyrosine is readily absorbed orally and crosses the
blood-brain barrier where it is converted into the catecholamines
(dopamine, norepinephrine [NE] and epinephrine) in a multi-step
enzymatic process.
Vitamin C is required for conversion of L-5-HTP to serotonin
in the Central Nervous System while inhibiting the peripheral
conversion of of L-5-HTP in the GI tract. The enzyme dopamine mono-oxygenase,
which converts dopamine to norepinephrine, is also vitamin C
dependent.Vitamin B6 and folic acid
serve as methyl donors, preventing depletion of SAMe and serving as
required cofactors in the conversion of NE to epinephrine and
3,4-dihydrophenylalanine to dopamine.
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid that
contributes to inhibitory and catecholamine neurotransmission
through the actions of the Glutamine-Glutamate-GABA cycle.
Magnesium reduces brain excitably by acting as a GABA
receptor agonist and a glutamate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. |
