GABA Trex
The Science
GABA Trex by NeuroScience Inc. focuses on the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Glutamatergic signaling underlies mechanisms related to anxiousness and stress.
Biomarkers
Neurotransmitter:
- Glutamate
Glutamate, anxiousness, and stress
Glutamate is associated with anxiousness and stress.
- Stress activates the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which releases glucocorticoids that affect brain function.
- Studies have shown that the brains of both pediatric and geriatric populations are particularly susceptible to stress.
L-theanine acts as a glutamate receptor antagonist.
- L-theanine binds to glutamate receptors (AMPA, kainate, and NMDA receptors) and blocks the binding of glutamate to its receptors.
L-theanine improves sleep efficiency
The effects of L-theanine were assessed in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.
- In individuals 8-12 years of age, L-theanine (200 mg) twice daily (morning and afternoon) significantly increased sleep efficiency (percentage of night spent sleeping restfully) and reduced nocturnal motor activity.
- In adults, single administration of L-theanine (200 mg) significantly reduced feelings of stress under mental strain.
Ingredients
Amino Acid:
- L-theanine
Suggested Use
Chew 1-2 GABA Trex tablets up to three times daily or as directed. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult one of our health coach professionals before use.
Wesley –
Though I don’t typically believe in 5 star ratings, these products certainly deserve at least 4.5 stars! I have personally used them for over 12 years and absolutely love them! HPA axis Neuro/Endo testing has become a mainstay in establishing baseline neurotransmitter and hormone values while enabling our health coaches to implement neurotransmitter modulation protocols for all of our clients. I highly recommend taking your health and wellness to the next level while incorporating testing into your program.
