Customer Reviews of Source Naturals Gaba, 750 mg, Tablets, 180 tablets
Customer Review: I like GABA gel capsules far better than hard GABA tablets
Summary: 2 Stars
I'll talk about why I'm not too fond of GABA tablet products versus GABA capsules in a moment. First I want to say how great GABA is.
I found out about GABA by accident and looked it up on the web. I read where it can have a calming effect on people. It implied that taking it could aid in relieving anxieties, calm nerves, make you relax, and help with sleep. I found this a little hard to believe that an over the counter item could do this, but I decided to try it out.
There is a local GNC store nearby and they have it in stock. Their bottles have 90 capsules at 750mg each. The cost was almost $16 dollars a piece and I felt that it was a little steep in price, but I went ahead and made a purchase.
From what I had read on the web, a person should think about taking a least 1mg three times a day and that going beyond 18mg a day has little. One of the only major side-effects that I've been able to find is that taking too much GABA in one day can create the anxieties and stress that you are trying to get rid of. I decided to take three capsules three times a day which would keep me under the 18mg limit that I wanted to keep under.
The first day of taking it worked very well for me. In fact, it was great! I'm normally always a nervous person and this GABA stuff really calmed me down.
The second day was different; I started feeling anxious and nervous, but a little more worse than normal. Long story short, I worked my way to dropping the dosage down from three capsules three times a day to two capsules twice a day. (Two in the morning when I get up, and two after lunch.) There are times when I take a fifth capsule about an hour before going to bed.
I could go on about how I've seen GABA has worked with other people (it has), but I want to talk about how I like capsules better than tablets.
I tried GABA tablets. In fact, I've tried this brand of GABA product and I don't feel that GABA tablets work as well as GABA capsules in delivery. I didn't feel that the tablets were dissolving as good so I decided to perform my own unscientific test. I placed a capsule and a tablet in cups of warm water (to mimic a warm body). The capsule didn't take too long to dissolve, but the tablets seemed to take forever to break down. Even when I stirred the tablet around, very little came apart. The capsule just about completely dissolved.
I guess the tablet could be used a rough version of a timed release over a continuous period of time if it doesn't get passed through your digestive system and eliminated first.
Anyway, that's my feelings about tablets versus capsules, and how I like GABA. Also, read up on GABA before taking it to see if it's right for you, and perhaps discuss it with your doctor first especially if you are already taking anything for anxieties and such.
