\"beserene\"<\/p>\n

Hi there… I wanted to add my ‘two cents’ to the discussion about the BeSerene™ GABA\/theanine product that you recommend. I LOVE it! I suffer from low GABA levels, which result in my having severe muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. Often, that resulted in bad muscle tension headaches, for which I couldn’t find anything to bring relief. The BeSerene™ GABA\/theanine cream has been a real game changer.<\/p>\n

If I wake up with one of those headaches in the middle of the night or in the morning, I use two pumps and rub it on my tight neck and shoulder muscles and within 15 minutes, I can feel the tension melting away! It literally goes away! I have\u00a0 even been able to prevent a headache from occurring by using it on my neck muscles before I go to bed at night.<\/p>\n

Insofar as anxiety, I get relief from that as well, because generally I start to get anxiety once the headaches start, as I never know if it is going to be manageable with just an ibuprofen or two, or if it is going to be one of \u2018those\u2019 headaches, i.e. a migraine that lasts for a day or more! Unfortunately, once the anxiety starts, it makes the muscle tension headache worse, which makes the anxiety worse, and it\u2019s just a horrible vicious cycle!<\/p>\n

So, since the BeSerene™ cream works so efficiently on the muscle tension, it quells the anxiety that usually follows!<\/p>\n

It has changed my life, and I don’t know of any other product I can say that about. I can honestly say that I will not allow myself to ever be without it now!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much Trudy, for recommending this product!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lisa is a woman in the community who reached out to me via email with this message raving about how life-changing this cream has been for her. I am thrilled for her and never get tired of hearing results like this. I\u2019m not surprised either and love to share these kinds of results! She kindly gave me permission to share, saying \u201cI want others to experience what I have with this product!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Read on below for more about why she gravitated towards using a cream, other benefits you may expect to see (like a reduction in stress-eating and\/or drinking too much wine), my insights into when to consider using a GABA\/theanine cream like this and how to use it, where to purchase this exact cream and additional resources if you are new to using GABA.<\/p>\n

Why did Lisa gravitate to using a GABA\/theanine cream?<\/h2>\n

Lisa shared that she just couldn’t seem to tolerate the sublingual or oral GABA:<\/p>\n

I have tried sublingual GABA products but haven\u2019t had much success, as I haven\u2019t been able to find any without alcohol sugars (xylitol, sorbitol, etc.) Those ingredients give me a terrible taste in my mouth and I just can\u2019t tolerate them. (Why can\u2019t they make one with just real sugar from nature?)<\/p>\n

Plus, I haven\u2019t had a lot of success with the oral products as they just take too long to work on the headaches\/muscle tension.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m really glad she recognized her symptoms were due to low GABA – muscle tension and pain, in conjunction with feeling physically anxious are common. And that she didn\u2019t give up on GABA and persevered until she found what works for her symptoms.<\/p>\n

What about other forms of GABA?<\/h2>\n

However, my advice for someone in Lisa\u2019s situation is not to give up on other GABA products if she finds she needs additional support in the future or finds herself without the cream. With regards to taste and time to work, I recommend a GABA-only (or GABA\/theanine) capsule opened on to the tongue or a GABA (and\/or theanine) powder – both held on the tongue for 1-2 minutes for quick results.<\/p>\n

Stress-eating and self-medication with wine are classic signs of low GABA<\/h2>\n

Interestingly, stress eating is not an issue for her but wine may be:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never really had any issues with stress-eating. In fact, I usually have no appetite when I\u2019m stressed out! (That\u2019s where the wine comes in\u2026lol!)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We may self-medicate with wine when GABA is low because it relaxes us physically, helps us fit in socially and feels calming and pleasant. It\u2019s mistakenly used to try and improve sleep but typically makes things worse.<\/p>\n

Alcohol consumption damages the gut, depletes B vitamins (especially thiamine\/vitamin B1) and zinc – and it\u2019s addicting.<\/p>\n

GABA can stop that addiction in its tracks so there are no feelings of deprivation. The reasons we are drawn to GABA are addressed too. And amazingly there is research that GABA may actually heal the gut after alcohol consumption<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bumping up the GABA\/theanine cream may help or considering one of the other GABA products mentioned above may be better.<\/p>\n

Low GABA symptoms<\/h2>\n

As a reminder, if you are new to GABA, it\u2019s an amino acid that helps to address low GABA levels and the associated symptoms: physical tension and feeling anxious, feeling worried or fearful, panic attacks, stiff or tense muscles, insomnia, feeling stressed and burned-out, craving carbs\/alcohol for relaxation and calming, intrusive thoughts, spinning\/poor focus, fear of heights, rectal spasms, burning mouth, and visceral pain\/belly pain with IBS.
