I have anxiety, depression and have had poor sleep for months. Recently I decided to try a sleep study, but am tired of being tired. Despite exhaustion, it is hard to fall and stay asleep. I had a pill with 5-HTP, GABA and L-Theanine that worked wonders. Recently I couldn't find that formula anywhere, so I got each one separately. I was taking 5-HTP, L-Theanine and Valerian root for a few days before adding GABA. The former helped me sleep. Adding GABA included waking up refreshed and feeling more alive than I have felt in months. I have no ill side effects, though my appetite increased as I actually had and used more energy. I highly recommend GABA despite the uncertainty of effectiveness in studies. I have been on Gabapentin which is an analogue of GABA. I can say that this supplement does not give you as strong of a calm as Gabapentin, but does so as fast and with less side effects.Read More Read Less

Wow! I see lots of reviews of folks taking up to 750 mg of gaba...the gummy product I use for severe anxiety episodes is 100 mg total. The supplement also has saffron and lemon balm. It works so well for me... in 20 minutes I feel much calmer.

I took 750 mg of GABA for the first time last night, because I was having an anxiety attack and could not fall asleep. It stopped my anxiety attack within 10 minutes, and I was able to fall asleep. No side effects.

500mg GABA gave me breathing difficulties, as if I could not inhale a breath all of the way. I tried taking it a couple of times to be sure that's what caused it. Scary feeling.

I took a 750 Mg capsule at bedtime and got a terrific night of deep sleep. However, the next day I had a terrible rebound reaction. My colon went into extremely painful spasms, which exacerbated my pelvic nerve pain condition. Be very careful about using this supplement, especially if you have a sensitive gut due to ibs.

As an adult I have trouble going and staying asleep because I am thinking about what I need or would like to do. I notice a marked difference when taking GABA in the evening and when I forget to. Went from 5-6 hours a night to over 7 just like that, I cannot correlate any other aspects of the supplement with certainty. I am taking 325 mg a few hours before sleeping. I felt the full 750mg recommended was too strong - 190 lb 56 year old male with no conditions or medications

Started taking this while I was in school to help with my focus and anxiety. I saw my grades go up and began to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I now work in an extremely stressful field, and find that my GABA helps me to prioritize and not stress as badly. When I start to feel anxiety creep back in, I take a second dose and quickly feel the tension ease. I've tried convincing doctors for years that I needed something for anxiety and ADHD, to no avail. GABA has opened up a new world for me.Read More Read Less

I started taking a combo of L-Theanine and GABA this week. I often take L-Theanine for "monkey mind." When I ran out, I bought a new brand that had 500mg of GABA. I am sleeping very well and am able to go right back to sleep if I wake up. I do feel a little drowsy in the morning so I'm going to halve my dose because I'm a pretty small person (125 lbs). It seems to have an overall calming effect without clouding my thoughts. I've had vivid dreams, but I often do, so I can't say yet if it's because of the GABA.Read More Read Less

Foods-body

Gamma-aminobutyric acid or simply GABA is a chemical compound from the group of amino acids that does not have proteins in its structure.

This is a natural substance synthesized in the human body from the amino acid glutamine. The first studies in which aminobutyric acid was identified were carried out back in 1954-1956 years. Then it was only possible to determine its presence in the human central nervous system. The synthesis of the substance in question was only possible in 1963.

The main task of this compound is that it inhibits the transmission of certain impulses and relaxes the nervous system. It helps a person return to a calm, stable state and quickly get out of depression or stress.

In a normal state, the production of a substance is independently regulated in the human body, but bad habits or any shocks can cause a failure. That is why it is important to maintain the level of gaba in the body through proper nutrition or by taking special nutritional supplements based on this component.

Benefits of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

GABA is one of the most important inhibitory neurotransmitters in the nervous system. It is widely used in medical practice, as it is an effective assistant in the treatment of mental disorders, and also has a relaxing and sedative effect. The substance activates metabolic processes, saturates the brain with oxygen and improves blood circulation throughout the body.

Constant stress and anxiety are known to weaken the immune system, they are also often accompanied by sleep disturbance, which in turn also negatively affects the immune system. GABA helps reduce stress and promote a healthy immune response to stressors.

The compound plays an important role in ensuring a good night's rest, it improves the quality of sleep, and its lack is one of the main causes of insomnia.

In addition, it regulates motor activity, improves memory and thinking processes, and also has an anticonvulsant effect. Being one of the most important components of the blood and the brain, gamma-aminobutyric acid is able to improve the blood supply to the brain, activate energy processes and increase the respiratory activity of tissues. In addition, it accelerates the utilization of glucose and helps to remove toxic metabolic products.

Speaking of other equally important effects that the product in question has on the body, we can highlight the following:

• helps in the fight against vascular pathologies;

• normalizes blood pressure;

• improves liver function;

• relieves nervous tension;

• relieves negative symptoms of stress;

• has a positive effect on the state of the nervous system as a whole;

• has a relaxing effect;

• speeds up the process of falling asleep;

• increases the body's resistance to stressful situations;

• normalizes the functioning of the cardiovascular system;

• increases the ability to concentrate;

• Supports optimal brain function in old age.

Who needs additional intake of GABA

Most often, gamma-aminobutyric acid is used as an additional agent in the treatment of such diseases as epilepsy, arterial hypertension, endogenous depression, atherosclerosis.

It can also bring undeniable benefits to patients recovering from traumatic brain injury. In addition, GABA can help people who experience problems with sexual function and those who often suffer from headaches and dizziness.

It is recommended to use the product additionally for babies who are lagging behind in development and for those who have disorders in the functioning of the speech apparatus.

What role does GABA play in the lives of athletes

For bodybuilders and people involved in various sports, this product is of particular interest. This is due to the fact that it helps to increase somatotropin or growth hormone, which in turn has an anabolic and fat-burning effect. Due to the increased level of somatotropin, muscle mass gain is accelerated, strength indicators increase, and the process of burning subcutaneous fat is activated.

A very important benefit of supplements based on this component for athletes is that they help to fall asleep faster and deepen sleep.

Thus, the restoration of muscle fibers damaged during physical exertion is much faster and more efficient. Among other things, the substance in question is able to prevent muscle cramps and reduce the level of cortisol or the stress hormone, which enhances catabolic processes in the muscles.

The main symptoms of GABA deficiency

People who have a lack of this compound cannot work productively during the daytime, and they also have problems with sleep, a feeling of anxiety and unreasonable aggression.

Other signs of deficiency include:

• panic attacks;

• trouble concentrating;

• persistent headaches;

• poor resistance to stress;

• inability to calm down;

• increased night sweats;

• constant fatigue;

• visual impairment.

Deficiencies in this compound can be replenished either through regular dietary intake or by supplementing with GABA in tablet, capsule, or powder form. As for food, a large amount of this substance is found in tomatoes, sprouted rice, eggplant, potatoes, peaches, kiwi, pumpkin, carrots. But, unfortunately, with the modern rhythm of life, not everyone manages to eat regularly and properly.

That is why many resort to the second option and include in their daily diet special complexes based on this component, which are quickly absorbed in the body, and then also quickly enter the tissues.

And the most popular dietary supplements from this category can be represented as follows:

• Solgar GABA - the product is presented by a popular American company of premium quality, whose products are produced in glass jars for ease of transportation and storage. The supplement can be chosen in different packaging in the form of capsules. The manufacturer has taken care of the health and needs of everyone, so the product is kosher, gluten-free and suitable for vegans.

• Gaba Now - this manufacturer from the USA has presented several products from this category in its numerous assortment. Therefore, you can easily find what you need. The company has a pleasant pricing policy and many satisfied customers around the world.

Evolution: Flight - Expansion Overview - Board Games: Board Blog

Published last year in Russian “Evolution. Natural Selection showed an example of how you can take a great idea with a mediocre implementation and present it well. The foreign publishing house accepted the domestic toy “Evolution. Origin of Species , attracted an artist for design, slightly reworked the rules and got a new, beautiful and accessible game, which even later was released in Russia. In the West, it turned out to be successful and managed to acquire additions, the first of which - "Flight" - is now published with us. Right now there is a campaign for "Boomstarter" , where they collect funds for the release of the add-on.

Let me remind you, "Natural Selection" allows you to feel in your own skin how evolution works. Players create different types of animals and develop them by changing the population size and body size, as well as endowing their creatures with various properties. All this is done for one purpose - your species must survive. And for this he must be able to get enough food. Initially, all animals feed on plant foods, but predators can also start among them that can eat other animals. These initial conditions create quite an interesting gameplay, when under conditions of food shortage, animals are forced to learn to get more food, become predators, and also acquire protective properties that do not allow them to be attacked by other predators.

Add-on "Flight" adds new mechanics to the game. Animals can now acquire wings. Flying creatures have a number of restrictions, they cannot have a large body, plus they require more food. In addition, a new type of cards appears in the game - events (previously there were only properties in the deck). How much does all this change the game, and, in general, is it worth paying attention to this addition?

In terms of rules, everything remains unchanged. Everyone starts the game with one ground species. The course of the game is still divided into several phases. First, the players get new cards from the deck, then discard one card for the appearance of food, then play cards from their hand as properties or for the appearance or leveling of animals, and then they share the available food. And so - until the end of the deck. With the addition, everything remains the same, but a couple of nuances are added. Firstly, to create a flying species, you need to discard not 1 card from your hand, but 2. Secondly, a new source of food appears - a cliff, from where only birds can get food. Thirdly, food on the cliff does not appear according to cards, there every turn a fixed number of tokens appears, as much as a person participates in the game.

It would seem that new cards are being added to the deck, and because of this, the parties should become larger. Not certainly in that way. With "Flight" , 40 cards are counted from the deck before the start of the game, they are put aside and do not participate in the game, so that the game lasts about the same as in the base. And these 40 cards are used only in one case - when in the last turn there are not enough cards in the deck to distribute to all players, the missing ones are taken from this set aside pile.

"Events", a new addition to the deck, works like this: they must be played at the end of the draw phase (before the cards with food at the waterhole are revealed). There are more than a dozen event cards, but there are only two types of events. One allows you to add additional food to the cliff, the second - out of turn to attack someone with a flying predator. I would not say that they somehow radically change the game. Rather, they encourage players to create flying species that, at first glance, seem to be unnecessary.

Why does it seem so? Yes, because birds have obvious disadvantages. To create a bird, you need to pay 2 cards (for ordinary animals - only 1). The body size of birds can reach a maximum of 3 units (for land creatures - up to 6), plus they need 1-3 extra food each turn, which does not count (does not fit in the player's personal bag). In such conditions, willy-nothing, you will ask yourself the question: “Do I need it?”

But birds also have advantages. The most obvious is a separate food source, where new food is guaranteed every turn. This means that if there are no birds in the game yet, creating the first one is a good move. There will definitely be something to eat (especially since birds can also eat from a common watering hole). Another, more important advantage concerns flying predators. Firstly, they are inaccessible to terrestrial predators. Secondly, they know how to ignore the protective properties (signal of danger, climbing and symbiosis) for discarding a card from their hand. Third, one of the two new events allows the bird of prey to make an attack of opportunity. So it turns out that creating a bird is profitable, and a bird of prey is doubly profitable!

But don't think that if you managed to bring out a flying predator, you are now out of reach. The ground predator is still a threat. He may gain "intelligence", a property that allows him to ignore one of the opponent's properties, including "flying". And now the smart saber-toothed tiger is biting you with the falcons of your rivals!

Remember the "no more than 3 properties per view" restriction in the base version? Because of this, at one time I recalled with nostalgia the domestic "Evolution" , where it was possible to hang properties on one animal without restrictions. So, in the case of birds, the scope for creativity narrows even more. A bird can also have no more than 3 properties, and the first of them it receives at birth is “flight”. And if you want a bird - a predator, then there is only one free place. "Flight", "predator" and something else, of your choice.

The new change, which is now also a struggle for survival, does not have to pay dearly. The rules of the game have remained unchanged, birds by and large work in the same way as land animals. All you need to remember about them is the need to discard an additional card to create a new bird species, plus they need additional food every turn. When birds receive food tokens, they are first placed on specially designated places on the board next to the body size indicator, and only when the food has reached the size, it is used to feed and maintain the life of the species. Everything is clear, simple and understandable.

Was the addition successful? Yes! It does not load with additional rules, but at the same time, due to simple changes, it makes the game wider and deeper, opens up new scope for strategies, card combinations and animal interaction. And he does it very carefully, only slightly pushing the players to use the birds. By and large, if there is no such desire, you can sit out the whole game with terrestrial animals, in the old fashioned way. And at the same time it is quite possible to win. After all, evolution does not have universal solutions, the main thing here is adaptation to changing conditions!

"Flight" makes the game a little more difficult to master, "loads" it with new cards and new strategies.
