When she uses it she doesn\u2019t notice any effect i.e. no calming benefits and no adverse niacin-type tingly flush either. This is what she asked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Not sure if \u201cSource Naturals GABA Calm Mind\u201d is on your list, but I thought it was one you had recommended at one time? Anyway, these are pills that cannot be opened like a capsule and 1 pill = 750 mg.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I had the tingly flush when I used a different product that WAS a capsule and opened it on my tongue\u2026unfortunately I do not recall dosage or product name but I purchased at Whole Foods.<\/p>\n<p>With this particular product (Source Naturals GABA Calm Mind) in pill form, although the dosage could be higher, I do not experience the flush\u2026(however, I also am not sure it is doing much of anything for me).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is my feedback for her: I have never recommended the Source Naturals GABA Calm Mind 750 mg tablet ever (she calls it a pill but I know she is referring to the hard tablets).<\/p>\n<p>These are not a very effective way to use GABA. As you can see, she doesn\u2019t feel it\u2019s doing anything for her in terms of easing her anxiety and being calming. With a high dose of GABA we also often see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/too-much-gaba-causes-a-tingling-niacin-like-flush-sensation-in-the-brain-and-body-its-awful-and-very-uncomfortable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">niacin-like flush or tingling<\/a>\u00a0and yet with this pill\/tablet form she didn\u2019t experience this either. GABA is much more effective when used sublingually or opening a capsule (and starting low at 125mg). More on this below.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m not surprised she is confused and asking this question. The Source Naturals GABA Calm Mind has a very similar bottle\/name\/label to Source Naturals GABA Calm (the sublingual with 125mg GABA) and there is also a Source Naturals GABA Calm Mind 750 mg capsules (which can be opened).<\/p>\n<p>She mentions the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/too-much-gaba-causes-a-tingling-niacin-like-flush-sensation-in-the-brain-and-body-its-awful-and-very-uncomfortable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tingly flush<\/a>\u00a0when using a different product that was a capsule and opened on to her tongue. I&#8217;d suspect the tingling happened with a 500 mg GABA or 750 mg GABA product as this is a common dosage found in health stores. Opening the capsule and using less is best when starting out.<\/p>\n<h2>If you have to break it it\u2019s a tablet and much less effective<\/h2>\n<p>All this logic applies to any brand of hard GABA tablet. Someone just shared on Facebook that she had purchased a GABA product in the Netherlands and broke it in half in order to use a lower dose. If you have to break it it\u2019s a tablet and much less effective and possibly not at all effective. Be sure to read the front and back of the bottle and avoid hard tablets.<\/p>\n<p>From time to time someone will see some benefit with a GABA tablet that is swallowed but it\u2019s usually minimal.<\/p>\n<h2>The most effective forms of GABA to use<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a quick recap if you\u2019re new to GABA. It\u2019s an amino acid that is used as a supplement to boost GABA levels (a calming neurotransmitter) and ease physical tension type anxiety symptoms. It\u2019s most effective when used sublingually, or as a powder or by using a GABA capsule opened on to the tongue or as a liposomal product.<\/p>\n<p>When using GABA it must ideally be in one of these forms for the best effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Capsule form so the gelatin or cellulose capsule can be opened and the contents sprinkled onto the tongue, or some of it depending on dosing (NFH GABA-T SAP is a good example of this one &#8211; it contains GABA and theanine)<\/li>\n<li>Sublingual form which is sucked\/held in the mouth (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/source-natural-gaba-calm-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source Naturals GABA Calm 125mg<\/a>  is a good example of this &#8211; this is the GABA product that I have the most success with and it\u2019s easy to use when out and about; PharmaGABA chewables are another option)<\/li>\n<li>Powder form which is measured out using special tiny measuring spoon and sprinkled on to the tongue (Healthwise and Bulk Nutrients are good examples of this one)<\/li>\n<li>Liposomal form which is sprayed into the mouth and held for a few minutes (Designs for Health Liposomal Neurocalm and Quicksilver Scientific Liposomal GABA with L-Theanine are good examples of this form)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/amino-acids-pyroluria-supplements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antianxiety Food Solution Amino Acid and Pyroluria Supplements<\/a>, lists the amino acids that I use with my individual clients and those in my group programs.
