GABAnol is a synergistic combination of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine, magnesium, vitamin B6 and dong quai, which serves as a quick response supplement for muscle relaxation and discomfort. The combination of glycine and GABA act as inhibitory neurotransmitters, which help calm muscles and reduce the activity of the excitatory nervous system that can cause muscle spasms. GABA, the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, plays a key role in regulating muscle excitability. Both GABA and glycine act as calmatives for nerve impulses, controlling muscle contractions. GABA also supports the brain, preventing stress-related messages that trigger muscle spasms from reaching motor centers of the brain by occupying their receptor sites. While other therapies with a similar mechanism may cause dependency when used over time, the natural ingredients in GABAnol are non-habit forming and work quickly to ease muscle tension.
