GABA Blends: The Game-Changer for My Wellbeing.
Anxiety is a struggle I wouldn’t wish on anyone; I felt desperate for natural options.
Solution for me : natural oral GABA blend supplements.
They help me manage my anxiety, I only take them as needed, and have developed no noticeable reliance.
GABA is a naturally occurring amino acid. It works on the same neurotransmitters as Xanax.
While oral GABA results are unproven, I’ve appreciated the relief I’ve experienced since starting them, but have heard varying views.
Note : too much GABA may trigger an anxiety attack (as I discovered, yikes!) So I slowly increased from 200mg over weeks. I’ve now figured out what / when works for me, and some days I don’t take any at all.
Herein my opinions and experience only, always seek professional medical advice.

“GABA supplements are used to lower stress, ease anxiety, and combat insomnia… GABA calms your nervous system down, so you don’t become overly anxious or afraid…. While there isn’t strong evidence to support these benefits, GABA supplements have few side effects or risks.”

The Power of Acceptance: It’s OK to NOT Be OK
Anxiety can occur at any time in life. Growing under pressure, or surprising us. It may be situational, or part of our daily lives. Mine occurred together with health issues, and has stayed for a while. (RUDEEEE.)
I was already applying healthy lifestyle advice. (Eg. exercise, clean eating, regular sleep, reduce stimulants & triggers.) But needed more than coping strategies. (Box breathing, panoramic vision, body connection).
So I tried supplements for neurotransmitter support.
My anxiety reached breaking point post-pandemic.
When compelled to try two weeks Xanax prescription, my doctor confirmed it affects the same neurotransmitters as GABA. I disliked the few Xanax quarter-pill doses I tried, due to memory fogginess and quickly stopped using it.
So I purchased GABA & a few days later, took one 750mg pill and had a high-dose anxiety attack.
Then I cautiously tried lower doses (200mg), and have increased as required.
I only use GABA when needed. Some days 200mg, other days 750mg. Good days I take none at all! (Hurrah!)
I view GABA supplements as support that helps gives me space to make other healthy changes.
I’ve also learned that gentleness and self-kindness is key.
Whatever the science behind GABA supplements is, I can only speak to my own experience and journey using this product. Whether placebo, psychological, or otherwise – I’m glad for the relief I’ve found with these products so far.
So that’s my experience, in case it’s useful.
I hope this article is helpful, and wishing you the best way forward for you! ❤️
