Natural Factors Pharma GABA, Calm, Relaxation & Focus*, 60 Chewable Tablets

Tastes good! I have insomnia and anxiety. Since starting GABA I have seen an increase in my sleep and decrease in anxiety at night. Highly recommend but start slow if you have not tried before.

Ok, so long story short! Recently I was told by my psych that I was going to be tapered off my 3mg mg of clonazepam that I have been on for 25yrs!! Ugh!! I set out on a quest to find any & all alternative treatments for anxiety relief, panic attacks, & sleep! I stumbled upon these two after looking on Amazon for my daily L-methylfolate 15mg; which is also a GODSEND...I MIGHT LIKE TO ADD!! Anyway, I'm a skeptic by nature as a biologist in medical field; but these two products are truly heavenly & I can truly tell a significant difference the nights that I forget to chew 2 tabs of each...which are pretty tasty, I might add! I calm down quicker, am able to actually get to sleep quicker and sleep better on the nights I take them!! I NEVER use alternative treatments for my mental health care; but, these two products actually work!! And they work better together, I think! They both have their own independent merits & due to the fact that they are a bit pricey for a months worth(1 bottle)...you truly have to decide if you are able to splurge to get yourself some anxiety, panic, and sleep relief?? You are worth It...lol ❤

The claim on the bottle that these are “fast acting” is not just a marketing tactic, it has proven to be accurate in my experience. I have insomnia, as well as a form of PTSD from a traumatic event that occurred during the evening so 1. I find it hard to fall asleep and 2. Wake up every few hours when I do. I’ve tried everything to help me relax and fall asleep without relying on prescriptions or alcohol. Melatonin worked initially, but gave me the worst nightmares, plus a few other concerns. CBD oil took the edge off, but I woke up with headaches - and yes I tried different brands and high quality ones. Valerian root made no noticeable difference. Chamomile tea did nothing other than having a ritual that helped me wind down. Ashwaghanda is my next top choice. It definitely helped to relieve stress and calm my mind. However I found that GABA worked the best to do all the things ashwaghanda does, plus it physically relaxes my body within a matter of minutes. No weird dreams. No groggy feeling the next morning. I’m sure there are some factors at play like DNA, gene expression, etc. but I would definitely recommend based on my personal experience.

This Pharma Gaba along with the l-tryptophan have been an absolute life saver!! For years I've dealt with crazy restless legs, unbearable, causing me to not be able to sleep at night. And then after reading the "Mood Cure" book it talked about chewable GABA and l-tryptophan before bed. I another brand of chewable regular gaba and it didn't really work, but then tried this Pharma gaba. Game changer. Life saver. I l'evento been consistently falling asleep within 15-30 mins and sleep through the night, which hasn't happened for years!! I used to run on 1-4 hours of sleep during bad cycles and maybe 6 hours of sleep on a good night. Now I'm finally sleeping, and feeling like a human being with a functioning brain. I can focus again, recall things, this gaba has definitely brought anxiety levels down when I've needed it too. I mostly take it just at night but I have taken it during the day before during high stress times. Highly recommend, just... don't take too much. Take 1. If you take too much it can actually make anxiety levels worse. So, easy does it, take 1, give it a chance to work.

Helps to relax and improves my sleep. Very effective in helping with stress. Dosage is accurate sometimes I only take half so I'm not tired, it does make me sleepy so I take it at night. Good value for the money.

Best Pharmagaba product I’ve used. I consistently come back to Natural Factors. Helps calm my mind especially for middle of the night waking. I keep them by my bedside table and if I wake, I take one and it helps ease me back to sleep. Highly recommend.

Has a very calming effect. I take in the morning regularly, it helps me manage stress throughout the day. On rough days, I take again at night to help calm my mind before bed.

I had been having anxiety and was told to purchase GABA. You need to take like 8 of these to even notice because they are such a low dose. I stopped taking it and just purchased a higher dose.

Different product arrived.

I recently tried a pharmaceutical grade version of this in a test size bottle to see if it would help with stress/anxiety - I can honestly say that with this being the same dosage, it had the same effect, tasted just as great, has great ingredients, and was probably about half the cost! I have used this a few times now, and I find that although the bottle says you can take 1 or 2 tablets at a time, 1 tablet was the right amount to give me the calming effect that I was looking for while still allowing me to function normally. 2 tablets seemed to be just a bit too strong for me, and made me a little too relaxed to the point that I wasn't drowsy, but also probably wouldn't say no to the opportunity to have a nap. My fiance has also used this a few times now as well, to help with his social anxiety - he noticed a drastic and positive effect after only the first use (he took it half an hour before having to be in a very busy and social place) and he told me after leaving the event, hours later, that it was probably the first time he ever felt "normal" in a situation like that. We have both noticed very similar results from the Pharma GABA, with no side effects at all (this being a HUGE positive factor.) This has proven to be a really great product in my search for help with anxiety, and I can easily say that I have now added it to my arsenal of tools to help with anxiety/stress when I feel that I really need some relief from the mental and physical symptoms of anxiety.

The thing with natural supplements is that they work really well for some people and not for others, so you'll see some raving reviews and some that give it one star because 'it doesn't work at all'. GABA works for me really well - most of the time - when I have trouble falling asleep. I take two pills (I find that one is not enough) with 500mg of Inositol (vitamin B8) and sometimes magnesium. Even if it doesn't immediately help me fall asleep, it induces a very relaxed, restful state. There are other natural herbs that may really help - there is a lot of legitimate research involving a combination of Valerian and Lemon Balm (which saved me during a period of acute, severe insomnia, after I developed resistance to Z-drugs). Again, these supplement may do wonders for you or may not, but they are definitely worth trying and with some level of persistence until you find the right dosage and combination.

I ordered this, as my doctor made the suggestion for me to take this to calm my nerves and stress levels, as I didn’t want to take any meds. I decided to give GABA a try, and I must say it works wonders just what I needed to calm me down. Age 50 can be tricky, I would recommend giving this a try. My husband now at times even says “ have you taken your GABA” lol well worth the money and easy to chew.

I'm a natural anxious person, with a very short temper, and these have helped me stay calmer throughout the day. I'm on a very stressful period with my studies and I need these to stay calm and concentrate better. I do think they work and I even used 1 before my last exam and calmed me so I can better concentrate. I wish I knew about these in my teenage years. I love them, and I try to use them only when I feel my days are heavy, because I don't want the effect to wear off overtime. But yes if you need some anxiety relaxer this is great and depending on what level of anxiety you are on you may need a couple of these throughout the day. Does not cause any somnolence, just a very clear head in my opinion. I do think I may try the 250mg ones later, just to see on what extend it is better.
