EU AST Sports Science - GABA 100gm
 Details
GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid). GABA is an amino acid classified as a
neurotransmitter. Studies have shown GABA to play a key role in the secretion of
growth hormone. The principle anabolic actions of growth hormone include the
stimulation of amino acid transport, stimulation of protein synthesis and the
proliferation of cell growth. AST Sports Science selectively imports GABA under
rigid quality control conditions. Each batch is HPLC Certified and Laboratory
Tested for purity and potency. (Statements made have not been evaluated by the

"Studies Show A 550% Increase In Growth Hormone
Levels With Just 5 Grams Of GABA!" GABA’s
high concentration in the hypothalamus suggests this amino acid plays a
significant role in hypothalamic-pituitary function. The hypothalamus is a
region of the posterior section of the brain and is the regulating center for
visceral (instinctive) functions such as sleep cycles, body temperature, and the
activity of the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland effecting all hormonal
functions of the body. One primary hormone of concern to the athlete is growth
hormone (GH) and its various hormonal constituents.
The amino acid GABA has been shown in numerous studies to promote significant
increases in plasma growth hormone levels.
There have been literally hundreds of clinical studies on GABA and numerous
studies on GABA’s ability to elevate growth hormone levels. As with most
nutritional studies, GABA research has come directly from the medical community.
One noted study from the First Medical Clinic at the University of Milan in
Milan, Italy titled, “Effect of acute and repeated administration of gamma
aminobutyric acid (GABA) on growth hormone and prolactin secretion in man”,
shows just how effective GABA is.
Quoted results from this study showed “In all of the 19 subjects studied,
compared with 18 controls, plasma growth hormone levels were significantly
increased (above 5 ng/ml) by acute oral administration of 5 g of GABA.”
This study showed over a 5 1/2 fold increase in plasma growth hormone levels 90
minutes after GABA administration. That is a significant increase unmatched by
any other nutritional means.
Most cited studies on amino acids and growth hormone elevation utilize
intravenous delivery means. This is unrealistic and doesn’t reflect real world
results. Studies on GABA have been performed with both oral and intravenous
administration with the oral route showing remarkable effectiveness.
GABA’s growth hormone elevating effects rival that of potent pharmaceutical
compounds.Directions
Recommended Use: For adults only. As a dietary supplement, take three to five
grams mixed with 8 ounces of water or juice approximately 30 minutes before
sleep.
