AST Gaba
550% Increase In Growth Hormone Levels
Studies Show A 550%
Increase In Growth Hormone Levels With Just 5 Grams Of GABA!
GABA, Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, is an amino acid classified as a
neurotransmitter (A neurotransmitter is a substance that transmits
nerve impulses across a synapse. A synapse is a region where nerve
impulses are transmitted across axon terminals.)
GABA's high concentration in the hypothalamus suggests this amino
acid plays a significant role in hypothalamic-pituitary function.
The hypothalamus is a region of the posterior section of the brain
and is the regulating center for visceral (instinctive) functions
such as sleep cycles, body temperature, and the activity of the
pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is the master endocrine gland affecting all
hormonal functions of the body. One primary hormone of concern to
the athlete is growth hormone (GH) and its various hormonal
constituents.
The amino acid GABA has been shown in numerous studies to promote
significant increases in plasma growth hormone levels.
There have been literally hundreds of clinical studies on GABA and
numerous studies on GABA's ability to elevate growth hormone
levels. As with most nutritional studies, GABA research has come
directly from the medical community. One noted study from the
First Medical Clinic at the University of Milan in Milan, Italy
titled, "Effect of acute and repeated administration of gamma
aminobutyric acid (GABA) on growth hormone and prolactin secretion
in man", shows just how effective GABA is.
Quoted results from this study showed "In all of the 19 subjects
studied, compared with 18 controls, plasma growth hormone levels
were significantly increased (above 5 ng/ml) by acute oral
administration of 5 g of GABA."
This study showed over a 5 1/2 fold increase in plasma growth
hormone levels 90 minutes after GABA administration. That is a
significant increase unmatched by any other nutritional means.
Most cited studies on amino acids and growth hormone elevation
utilize intravenous delivery means. This is unrealistic and
doesn't reflect real world results. Studies on GABA have been
performed with both oral and intravenous administration with the
oral route showing remarkable effectiveness.
GABA's growth hormone elevating effects rival that of potent
pharmaceutical compounds
Directions: For adults only. As a dietary supplement, take
3 to 5 grams mixed with 8 ounces of water or juice approximately
30 minutes before sleep.
