GABA: the calming amino acid
A plain-language look at one of the 18 ingredients in VidaCalm.*

GABA is short for gamma-aminobutyric acid, an amino acid that your brain produces on its own. It acts as a chemical messenger, and it is one of the best-known names in conversations about calm.
VidaCalm lists GABA first. Small amounts also turn up in foods such as fermented vegetables, tea, whole grains and brown rice, so it is a familiar compound rather than an exotic one.*
