Natural Factors Stress-Relax with 100% Natural GABA provides fast-acting relief for nervousness and acute stress. Clinical studies have shown that Pharma GABA™ helps increase the production of alpha brain waves to create a profound sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus. It is the most effective form available.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a natural calming agent of the brain, often viewed as the brain’s “braking system”. When we become overwhelmed with stress the brain typically responds by producing more GABA, or pumping the brakes.

GABA’s foremost mechanism of action is increasing the production of alpha brain waves (associated with a relaxed, yet alert state) and decreasing production of beta brain waves (associated with nervousness, scattered thoughts, and hyperactivity). This leads to improved relaxation without drowsiness, and enhanced mental focus.

Although every day stress is a normal part of modern day living, for some people stress can become overwhelming, which can lead to an assortment of symptoms including nervous tension, sleep disturbances, and irritability.
