Symptoms of low GABA are as follows:

How often do you feel anxious or panic for no reason?

ۢ How often do you have feelings of dread or
impending doom?

ۢ How often do you feel knots in your stomach?

ۢ How often do you have feelings of being overwhelmed
for no reason?

ۢ How often do you have feelings of guilt about
everyday decisions?

ۢ How often does your mind feel restless?

ۢ How difficult is it to turn your mind off when you
want to relax?

ۢ How often do you have disorganized attention?

ۢ How often do you worry about things you were
not worried about before?

ۢ How often do you have feelings of inner tension and
inner excitability?

As with any neurotransmitter promoting substances, be careful if the patient is on any prescription medications that alter neurotransmitter levels as this can over-enhance their effect.

On the other hand, it is very often a much better alternative than some of these medications and has virtually no side effects.

A woman who is pregnant, or might become pregnant, should not take GABATONE ACTIVE

IMPORTANT-Consult your doctor before replacing any prescription medication or adding this product if you are already taking any antidepressants.

The Leaky Brain Challenge

How do you know if your blood-brain barrier is leaky? A simple and easy way to find out is to do Blood-Brain Barrier Challenge. To do this, simply take 1000 mg of straight GABA (not GABA precursors such as theanine).

GABA is a neurotransmitter synthesized in the brain and is responsible for calming or inhibiting over activity. Although some companies sell GABA supplements, the reality is the GABA molecule is too large to pass through an intact blood-brain barrier. The fact that this supplement sells so well is a testament to the integrity of the average American۪s blood-brain barrier.

So, if several hours after taking 1000 mg of GABA, you feel calm, relaxed or sleepy, you know that GABA, a molecule too large to pass through the blood-brain barrier, has nevertheless made it into your brain and is performing its calming duties. This means your blood-brain barrier has become compromised and your brain is highly susceptible to the immune rampages I discussed above.

Some people, instead of feeling relaxed, will find GABA makes them feel more anxious or jittery. There are other reasons for this that will be discussed in my next book, however any reaction at all indicates a leaky brain barrier.

If you felt no change after taking GABA, that is a good sign that your blood-brain barrier is intact and functioning well. (For accurate results, be sure to take this test during the day and not at bedtime.)

What to do about a leaky brain barrier
Addressing the areas that helped cause a permeable blood-brain barrier is the best place to start if you want to restore integrity. First make sure your diet is strictly void of gluten. Then do an Elimination/Provocation diet, as explained in my book, to determine whether other foods, such as dairy or eggs, are also provoking the immune system.

Continue on with the other strategies explained in the book(Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal?): Balancing blood sugar, addressing gut health and gut infections, and supporting adrenal health so your adrenal hormones are neither too high or too low. All of these will help quench inflammation, a notorious saboteur of brain health. Apex has created specifically for blood-brain barrier integrity-Neuro-PTX, brain inflammation-NeuroFlam and increased blood flow to the brain -NeurO2

Other strategies include enhancing the liver۪s methylation pathway (Chapter Eight of the thyroid book, Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal? and supplementing with alpha-lipoic acid.
