GABA as a dietary supplement is controversial, mostly because studies done on it have shown inconsistent results. I have taken this product multiple times before bed. Under the right conditions, this product is very useful for calming me down. If I take it and not actually try to sleep, it doesn't put me out automatically. If I actually lay down after taking it with the intent to actually fall asleep, it works wonders. I have also noticed a slight increase in strength the following morning when I exercise, so that's a plus too. For anyone wondering if they should try this or something else, I can say that trying this would be worth your time. I am planning on trying NOW Food's Inositol powder next, as there have been far more studies done on Inositol (no fault of GABA), and Inositol shows promise for those with OCD (like myself).

One word sums up my experience... Gabadabadoo?

OK

This is a great product after taking it I feel relaxed and calm helps me reach a goo night sleep everytime I take it when I wake there is no issue like there is with other products

I take one pill about an hour before bed. Helps calm me before bed, and I sleep more deeply. I fall asleep twice as fast and wake up half as often as before. Before I would only remember 1 dream every 3 days, but when taking GABA, upon waking I can remember 2 or 3 dreams per night. I've noticed that great sleep impacts my general health and my fitness goals, and NOW GABA has helped me sleep better than before. The low price per serving is awesome, too.

High quality and always effective. I won't use any other brand of GABA now.

GABA is way more efficient than melatonin. GABA does not "put you to sleep". GABA just calms your nerves to help put you to sleep, and to sleep deeper.

For my size, after reading the posted articles here on BB.com...I was taking 4 capsules about an hour before I fell asleep as recommended. I am not sure 100% on the timing. I felt the results as soon as I woke up, it was a feeling of my muscles being revamped...almost like a pump after your lift kinda feeling. It seemed to me that it worked better and I got that feeling if I didn't take an hour before, and right before I laid down to fall asleep. Must take with little or no food in stomach. Stacked this with Tribulus.

I've been taking it for about a month now and I do feel slightly more relaxed at night but it's nothing too noticeable and it really doesn't help me sleep a lot better. I do find myself a little more relaxed in general though which is nice. I plan to take it for a few more months to see if it really does start to help me sleep through the night better.

Great product! I take it at night to relax. It helps me sleep deeply.

I use GABA regularly to help me fall asleep quickly and to sleep throughout the night. Make sure to start off taking 1 pill before bed and gradually build up. I started taking 2 right away and I would be groggy all the next day without any ability to focus or think clearly. But now that my body is accustomed to it I can take 2-4 capsules and sleep great.

it's very good, the downside (for me) are nightmares I have when using GABA

BEST SLEEP EVER! Take 3 - 4 grams of this 1 hour to 30 minutes before bed. Before I know it, my body and mind will go comatose. I have ALWAYS been a light sleeper, that is until I discovered this product. Now I sleep so deeply that my dreams are extremely vivid and realistic. When I wake from a GABA induced sleep, my eyelids are glued open! Mental energy is through the roof, not to mention a noticable increase in bodily recovery. I've read that the growth hormones are at the highest in stages 3 and 4 (and REM stage) of the sleep cycle. This product not only ensures your mind and body reaches those stages, but that they are experienced at optimal levels. I can't rave more about how much I love this product. I drink caffeine all day, and have no problems getting high quality sack-time. What a product! DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS OR ANY SUPPLEMENT COMPANY.

GABA definitely helped calm my anxiety, but it started giving me hallucinations, where everywhere I look I see white lights floating around, like lightning... Anxiety or hallucinations, hmmm
