A while back it was also discussed on the forum but not in much depth.

hey guys,

do any of you think that using gaba supplements will produce noticeable results?
obviously the diet and training go without saying.

When I could use it still long ago I noticed some good fat burning from it. I got leaner from using GABA than from an fat burner.

yeah that's what I've been reading.
but obviously to use it effectively you would prob wanna run it for a few consecutive months right?
would cycling it 5 days on 2 days off be alright? reason I ask is that alot of people "adapt" to it, making it ineffective?

I used gabba in my last cycle,made good gains, :weights not sure how much of those gains are due to gabba.I carried on using it right after my pct.I slept like a log :sleeping but after a while i had real hectic dreams and i would hallucinate if i woke up during the night. :hmm Then i stopped using it

hahaha flip bro that's hectic!
first time I used it I wasn't very experienced in much and I thought "wow this is gonna be almost like using juice!" :blush:
then that evening with much excitement I took a tsp mixed in water and 15min later I got the tingles and felt very short of breath, hehe thought I was gonna die so I sold it to a friend
young dumb and full of that white stuff :lol:

LOL a heaped teaspoon is like 15g LOL,and 5g is the maximum dosage,no wonder you got tingles and short breath.Your experiments are off the hook :haha .Unless you wanted to go to bed Jayman and wake up turned into Hulk.

lol yeah I gotta admit I didn't do too much thinking at the time

Sorry dude, but I'll have to disagree with you, according to the labels on all GABA supps, 1 teaspoon is 3g and 1 and a half teaspoons are 5g. GABA is a almost fluffy white powder much lighter (in weight) than creatine. I also get the tingles and shortness of breath from 5g. But it seems that my body doesn't adapt to GABA, used it for 2 months straight once and got tingles etc. every single night, had to lower my dose to 3g, because I got tired/irritated with the sides.

The 1st time I used Gabba I also thought I was going to die...took one teaspoon of it and 15min later It felt like I was going to have a heart attack! I used it for a week and the side effects didnt really subside so stopped using it. Want to start again but a bit put off. Was using a heaped tea spoon....do think halving my dose would help?
Is Gabba really worth taking?

Whether it works is debatable, I've read that in theory it should work, but not enough research has been done.

"It has been suggested that orally administered GABA increases the amount of Human Growth Hormone, but this is questionable since it is unknown whether GABA can pass the blood-brain barrier. However, orally administered GABA does have effects outside of the central nervous system (e.g. increased muscle tone)."
good ol Wikipedia

IMO for the price its worth taking, at least just for the sleep benefits as this is when most of your growth and recovery happens.

I like the feeling it gives you, don't know what it says about me

IMPO I love GABA and feel great on it.

Been taking it for like 5months .

Awesome stuff, I dont get the sides anymore..

Dont know why
