GABA 500 mg + Vitamina B6 - 100 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is GABA and why combine it with vitamin B6?

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a non-protein amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Its main function is to reduce neuronal activity, promoting a state of calm and helping to alleviate nervous tension. The combination with vitamin B6 in this supplement is not accidental: B6 is necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, including GABA itself, and participates in energy metabolism and normal nerve function.

Benefits backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for vitamin B6:

• Normal functioning of the nervous system: vitamin B6 contributes to nerve transmission and the maintenance of healthy neurological function.
• Normal energy metabolism: it helps transform food into usable energy for the body.
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue: by supporting metabolism, it can contribute to maintaining energy levels.
• Normal psychological function: it is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, influencing mood.
• Normal red blood cell formation: essential for oxygen transport.

GABA, for its part, is recognized for its ability to induce relaxation without causing drowsiness, supporting a state of mental calm in times of stress.

Who is it recommended for?

This supplement is indicated for people seeking support for daily stress, mild anxiety, or nervous tension. It is also useful for those who wish to improve sleep quality or concentration in situations of high mental demand. The presence of vitamin B6 makes it especially suitable for those following vegetarian or vegan diets, as this vitamin is found mainly in foods of animal origin.

Recommended dosage and how to take it

It is recommended to take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times a day, as needed, preferably with water or juice and on an empty stomach. Each capsule provides 500 mg of GABA and an effective dose of vitamin B6. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.

Possible side effects and contraindications

In general, GABA and vitamin B6 are well tolerated. In high doses, vitamin B6 can cause peripheral neuropathy if taken for long periods, so it is recommended not to exceed 100 mg daily without medical supervision. GABA may cause drowsiness in some people, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if this effect is experienced. Consult a healthcare professional before using this product if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
