GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Many popular prescription sleep aids and anti-anxiety medications work through their effects on GABA-ergic transmission.

Too bad oral GABA doesn't cross the blood brain barrier, or even make it out of the digestive tract into the bloodstream.

Gabba gabba hey!
