GABA is a very important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is a naturally occurring non protein amino acid with extremely important physiological functions. It can promote the activation of the brain, strengthen the brain and improve intelligence, resist epilepsy, promote sleep, beautify and moisturize the skin, delay brain aging, supplement the inhibitory neurotransmitter of the human body, and has a good effect on lowering blood pressure. Promote the improvement and protection of renal function. Inhibit fatty liver and obesity, and activate liver function. Daily supplement of micro GABA is beneficial to the relief of heart and brain blood pressure, and can promote the balance of amino acid metabolism in the human body and regulate immune function. γ- Aminobutyric acid is a strong nerve inhibitory amino acid, which has the physiological effects of sedation, hypnosis, anti convulsion and lowering blood pressure. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which can inhibit animal activities and reduce energy consumption. Aminobutyric acid acts on the GABA receptor in animal cells. The GABA receptor is a chloride channel. The inhibition or excitability of GABA depends on the concentration of chloride ions inside and outside the cell membrane. After the GABA receptor is activated, the chloride channel will be opened, which can increase the permeability of cell membrane to chloride ions, make chloride ions flow into nerve cells, cause cell membrane hyperpolarization, inhibit nerve cell element activation, and thus reduce the amount of exercise of animals.
It reduces energy consumption by reducing the unconscious movement of animals, so as to achieve the goal of promoting growth. γ- Aminobutyric acid can promote the secretion of animal gastric juice and growth hormone, thereby improving the growth rate and food intake; It can excite the feeding center of animals, thus increasing the food intake.
