Description
GABA, Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, is an amino
acid classified as a neurotransmitter (A neurotransmitter is a substance
that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse. A synapse is a region
where nerve impulses are transmitted across axon terminals.)
"Studies Show A 550% Increase In
Growth Hormone Levels With Just 5 Grams Of GABA!"
GABA’s high concentration in the
hypothalamus suggests this amino acid plays a significant role in
hypothalamic-pituitary function. The hypothalamus is a region of the
posterior section of the brain and is the regulating center for visceral
(instinctive) functions such as sleep cycles, body temperature, and the
activity of the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland effecting all hormonal
functions of the body. One primary hormone of concern to the athlete is
growth hormone (GH) and its various hormonal constituents.
The amino acid GABA has been shown in numerous studies to promote
significant increases in plasma growth hormone levels.
There have been literally hundreds of clinical studies on GABA and
numerous studies on GABA’s ability to elevate growth hormone levels. As
with most nutritional studies, GABA research has come directly from the
medical community. One noted study from the First Medical Clinic at the
University of Milan in Milan, Italy titled, “Effect of acute and
repeated administration of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) on growth
hormone and prolactin secretion in man”, shows just how effective GABA
is.
Quoted results from this study showed “In all of the 19 subjects
studied, compared with 18 controls, plasma growth hormone levels were
significantly increased (above 5 ng/ml) by acute oral administration of 5
g of GABA.”
This study showed over a 5 1/2 fold increase in plasma growth hormone
levels 90 minutes after GABA administration. That is a significant
increase unmatched by any other nutritional means.
Most cited studies on amino acids and growth hormone elevation utilize
intravenous delivery means. This is unrealistic and doesn’t reflect real
world results. Studies on GABA have been performed with both oral and
intravenous administration with the oral route showing remarkable
effectiveness.
GABA’s growth hormone elevating effects rival that of potent
pharmaceutical compounds.
