Abstract:
There is no study showing that GAB helps against depression, and since GABA does not pass the blood-brain barrier, it could not work.
Question:
What is the effect of a supplement with GABA for depression?
Answer:
Many online-pharmacies try to promote the use of GABA to relief anxiety, depression or promote stimulation of growth hormones.
Any effect of this approach would be a placebo effect! There is no scientific evaluation of the use of GABA for these indication.
