GABA

Podrobný popis

Gama-amino kyselina maslová (GABA) je aminokyselina, ktorá pôsobí ako neurotransmiter v centrálnom nervovom systéme. Inhibuje nervový prenos v mozgu a upokojuje nervovú aktivitu.  Niekoľko klinických štúdií dokázalo, že užívaním GABA sa stimuluje rastový hormón a preto je veľmi populárny medzi kulturistami. Pri používaní GABA bude váš spánok kvalitnejší a platí priama úmera - tvrdší spánok= viac rastového hormónu. GABA je kyselina gama-amino-maslová a je jedna z najdôležitejších neurotransmiterov v našom mozgu, to znamená, že zodpovedá za prenos nervových impulzov. Hypofýza je miestom, kde dochádza k produkcii GH, obsahuje receptory citlivé na GABA. Väzba molekúl GABA na dané receptory má za následok sekréciu rastového hormónu. GABA dokáže zvýšiť hladinu GH až dvojnásobne.

• - stimuluje vylučovanie rastového hormónu (GH)
• - zmierňuje bolesť
• - podpora nárastu čistej svalovej hmoty
• - spaľovanie tukov
• - znižuje stres, napätie, úzkosť, zmätenosť a depresie u ľudí pod tlakom
• - zlepšuje správnu funkciu nervového systému
• - zlepšenie nálady
• - zmiernenie predmenštruačný syndróm (PMS)
• - stabilizáciu krvného tlaku
• - výskumy dokazujú , že pri užívanie GABA môže zvýšiť duševný rozvoj, učenie, slovnú zásobu a telesné funkcie u detí s detskou mozgovou obrnou
• - zlepšuje pozornosť, pamäť a emocionálne reakcie u detí s mozgovou poruchou spôsobenou pôsobeniu chemických látok

GABA spolu s liekmi používané na bronchitídy zvyšuje dobu medzi príznakov epizód.

GABA spolu s lieky používané na liečbu záchvatov znižuje frekvenciu záchvatov u niektorých ľudí.

GABA obmedzuje rozvoj príznakov zápal tkaniva okolo mozgu a chrbtice (meningitída).

Výskumy ukazujú že pri užívaní 3g GABA alebo 3g sacharózy (placebo), po ktorom nasleduje buď odpočinok alebo tréning v krvnej vzorke boli získané hodnoty irGH a ifGH bezprostredne pred a 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, a 90 minút po užití GABA alebo placebo. 

Výsledky : Počas odpočinku po použití GABA boli zvýsené hodnoty irGH a ifGH v porovnaní s placebo. Konkrétne, maximálna koncentrácia oboch hormónov boli zvýšené o  400%. 

Z toho vyplíva že najlepšie je užívať GABU pred spánkom pre najlepšiu stimuláciu rastového hormónu.

Dávkovanie: 2-3 capsule na noc, najlepšie s džúsom alebo vodou na lačný žalúdok

Nekombinovať s alkoholom. Doplnok ovplyvňuje pozornosť, nepoužívať pred jazdou autom.

Nie je vhodný pre osoby mladšie ako 18 rokov.
