What is GABA? What are the effects and side effects? What foods can be taken from?

Nowadays society is like a pressure horn. Everyone faces various pressures in economic, health, work and family relations, and excessive pressure will cause great losses to personal health, society and economy. For health, stress can cause bad mood, severe anxiety, depression, and depression, which can also cause sleep disorders, insomnia and poor sleep, and also cause decreased memory and insufficient concentration, resulting in poor work efficiency, learning disorders and distractions; it will also affect the health of the stomach, prone to stomach aches, diarrhea or constipation; it can also hinder blood circulation, causing high blood pressure or other three high symptoms; even long-term depression is suspected to be self-disciplined and misaligned, and is even one of the causes of cancer.

In order to relieve pressure, GABA has become the reddish health ingredient in Japan in recent years. Because the Japanese market fully understands that GABA has amazing effects on ease of pressure, helping sleep, and helping focus, under the turmoil, all kinds of GABA-added foods are sold in the market, such as chocolate, drinks, rice, dried baking, and even GABA noodles. Furthermore, Japanese agricultural units have cultivated many natural fruits and vegetables with high content of GABA, many of which have been certified by Japanese health foods, such as this GABA cantaloupe.

GABA is a natural amino acid, also known as γ-aminobutyric acid, gamma-Aminobutyric acid. GABA is widely present in nature and can be found in animals, plants, and microorganisms, but the content is very small. GABA is especially important for animals because it is a neurotransmitting substance, so it is particularly concentrated in the Zhongle neural system. GABA plays a mental vehicle in the neural system, responsible for activating the parasympathetic neural system.

Parasympathetic nerve is one of the human body's self-regulatory neural systems, and it shows antagonistic control with another sympathetic nerve system of the self-regulatory nerve. The sympathetic nerve is responsible for controlling the reactions of human body such as fighting, escaping, and working, while the parasympathetic nerve system is responsible for the reactions of body resting, digesting, and sleeping. Therefore, it can be said that a suitable GABA in the body can help relax, relax and help mental focus, and can also help fall asleep and improve sleep quality. However, lack of GABA can easily lead to anxiety and difficulty in concentration.

GABA's chemical formula is C4H9NO2, and the structure is

What are the effects of GABA?

Replenishing GABA has been proven to have many physiological effects. Currently, research has proven that GABA has been proven to significantly reduce pressure hormones, help the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, generate relaxed signals, reduce the degree of human body's excitement, and make people feel relaxed. There is a famous human experience in Japan, which requires many people with high illness to go to Japan's longest hanging bridge, and then measure their psychological pressure index in the bridge center. The results show that taking GABA is indeed a lower pressure index than not taking GABA.

Other human studies in Japan have also found that after supplementing GABA, the brain waves represent a relaxed α waves will increase significantly, indicating that the human brain has entered a more comfortable state, and the state of activation of the α brain memory is also indicating that the human brain has a higher memory capacity.

Helping Sleep

Research has shown that GABA can adjust brain stability, shorten sleep time, increase sleep time, increase sleeping level, make it easier to get up, and wake up more energetic. Many sleep probiotics can also help produce sleep experiments such as Good Night Probiotics (renamed Good Night Probiotics in 2022 as Good Night Probiotics).

Lowering blood pressure

Many clinical tests have been proven that GABA can activate the receptors of GABA, causing vascular expansion, and can also inhibit the activity of vasoconstrictor transfer enzymes, achieving the effect of lowering blood pressure, and the heartbeat will also be reduced. Reducing blood pressure is also one of the projects GABA's certifying Japanese health food certification, and this is a great blessing for consumers who are in the prevalence of the three high-altitude society.

Anti-focus

studies also show that the inhibitory effect of GABA can reduce mental anxiety and tension, and also reduce fatigue, so the mood will be more comfortable and pleasant, and the feeling of pain will also be reduced.

Enhance attention

Now GABA is more focused on the Japanese market, which is the aspect of GABA that can improve focus. Modern people are common inattention, and brain fog after the epidemic is also common. This has a lot to do with the environment being full of pressure and the use of 3C multi-screen operation, allowing information to continuously invade the brain. The reason why concentration is important is that it can help people concentrate on their intelligence, complete their learning and work carefully, and improve their efficiency. Some studies have pointed out that once you are distracted, it takes two hours to regain your attention, and this kind of work and learning efficiency will drop significantly..

And GABA can relieve stress and make people concentrate, so it is very helpful to concentrate. This will not only make you more focused when working and learning, but also have particularly good work efficiency. There are also clinical trials for children who use GABA in Attention Insufficiency (ADHD) abroad, using GABA provides children with excessive activity to help them stabilize and improve their learning effects. Because GABA comes from natural food and is a natural substance in humans, it is very safe.

What foods can GABA be collected from?

GABA is a non-protein amino acid, that is, it is not one of the amino acid units that form protein, so it cannot be obtained by feeding protein. On the one hand, humans can be formed by the reaction of another common amino acid - lycoacid. On the other hand, some foods contain more GABA, for example, the following natural foods containing GABA:

Brown Rice

Brown Rice has relatively high amounts of GABA, and some manufacturers can further use lactic acid bacteria fermentation to further increase the content.

sprouts

seeds will have a higher GABA when sprouting, so sprouts from beans are a good way to get GABA.

Tomato

Vegetables and fruits naturally contain GABA, especially tomatoes. Japan has also used to cultivate and cultivate management techniques to significantly increase GABA content. Such high GABA tomatoes can even obtain Japanese health food certification. See the previous article that Japan launched tomatoes that promote blood pressure. What about Taiwan? .

Tomatoes also contain rich solanin. Reference: What are the effects of solanin? What natural foods contain solanin? How to eat elephant red vegetarian to improve absorption rate? .

Hamic Melon

Japanese Healthy Food (functional food) also uses a cantaloupe called Crown, which has the magical effect of mental pressure brought by comforting work or reading. This cantaloupe comes from the cooperation between the Hot Room and Agricultural Cooperative of Jingka County and Jingka University in the Industrial Cooperative. After careful research and cultivation, it can contain a high amount of GABA ingredients. If this "mountain" level (second-highest level) is equipped with a fine wooden box, one of which will be sold at 9936 yen, which can be regarded as a creation of a classic for agricultural value-added. For a detailed introduction to this kind of cantaloupe, you can refer to the GABA cantaloupe that can be supple after eating it before consuming it, as well as a Japanese health food certificate book.

Peachy kale blue

Peachy kale blue is a deep green vegetable with high nutritional value, ranking first in nutritional density. Masada Practice Co., Ltd., a Japanese company located in Shizuoka Prefecture, successfully launched an organic kale containing high content of GABA in 2018, and dried it in a special process, retaining the highest GABA, and producing 100% kale without added green juice. This high GABA green juice was reviewed and obtained Japanese health food certification. Therefore, this GABA Green Juice [functional expression food] can promote the health care effects of lowering blood pressure, which is also a major contribution of agriculture to health research.

Tea

Generally, you can't sleep when you drink tea, but tea rich in GABA may help you sleep. This kind of tea was originally developed in Japan, and Taiwan was introduced more than 10 years ago and became more prosperous. This type of GABA tea is also called Jiayelong Tea. It is very different from the aerobic fermentation method of ordinary tea leaves. It is made by oxygen fermentation technology. Therefore, some people think that its taste has a sour taste, which is very different from that of ordinary tea, so the market acceptance has never been opened. Last year, the tea industry improvement venue also carried out improvement research and launched a new generation of GABA tea, which uses Ulong tea (Wenshan Baocao tea, Gaoshan tea, Ulong tea, Oriental Beauty Tea) with the best effect. In addition to improving its unique sour smell and increasing consumer acceptance, it also maintains sufficient GABA content.

Mangye

In recent years, through the Miaoli District Agricultural Improvement Field and Tea Improvement Field, a GABA Mangye Tea has been launched. First, the mulberry leaves containing high GABA were selected, and then the GABA Ulong tea production technology developed previously developed without oxygen fermentation was used to convert mulberry leaves amino acids into higher GABA ingredients. Therefore, this kind of GABA mulberry tea contains very high GABA, and can contain up to 570 mg of GABA for every 100 grams. It is much higher than GABA content (150 mg per 100 grams). For detailed introduction to GABA mulberry leaves tea, can you refer to the previous article to GABA who wants to relieve sleep? Without Japanese cantaloupe, Taiwan mulberry leaves tea is available.

Probiotics

microbials can also produce GABA as a guide substance. Some tract bacteria are even suspected to be able to communicate with cells or vagus nerves in the human tract to a certain extent, forming an extension of the brain. Therefore, some special types of probiotics are actually rich sources of GABA. Now some biotechnology companies have the technology to ferment the probiotics of black rice and beans to increase the GABA content; some probiotics even secrete a large amount of GABA during their growth. Therefore, if they are supplemented as probiotics, when they are transplanted into the human kidney, GABA will be continuously produced, and the effect will be even more continuous. It is a very effective way to adjust GABA in the body. So recently, there are many good night probiotics in Japan and Taiwan that allow you to relax. Weien has tried good night probiotics that can help sleep (now renamed Sleeping Probiotics), which have achieved quite good results in improving sleep quality. The reason is that it is related to the fact that the strains inside can continue to produce natural GABA. For trial experience, you can refer to the sleep experiment of Haojunjia Goodnight Probiotics (renamed Sleeping Yi Probiotics in 2022).

Red koji

Red koji is a traditional Chinese fermented food obtained by washing, steaming, cooling and solid fermentation with red koji bacteria.. Since traditional times, red koji plays a special effect in Taiwan's diet, which has a wide range of functions. In the diet, it can be used as food coloring, flavor enhancer, meat preservatives, wine raw materials, etc., and is a multifunctional and excellent supporting role. Recent scientific research has found that red koji not only has the effect of reducing calcium sterol and regulating blood lipids, but research from Taiwan University has also found that red koji can indeed be used to produce GABA-rich fermented products.

Da Mai Waka Leaf

Da Mai Waka Leaf is one of the common main ingredients of Japanese green juice. Because it is tender when it reaches 20-30 cm before heading, it accumulates various nutrients and enzymes, including high protein quality and a variety of amino acids, including BCAA, tryptic acid, and important GABA.

How to eat GABA? Will there be side effects?

GABA is an amino acid produced by the body itself, and the human body will be decomposed within a few hours, so it is quite safe. There are currently no serious side effects caused by overdose, and it will not be dependent on helping sleep.

According to many clinical studies, taking 28 mg GABA can achieve the effect of relaxing and focusing, and taking 50 mg GABA can achieve the effect of helping sleep. However, because GABA has a short half-life in the body (only tens of minutes to several hours depending on the study), it is not possible to eat it in advance too early. It is better to eat it within one or two hours before work or falling asleep. Moreover, GABA will not have a cumulative effect, so it needs to be replenished frequently. This is also the reason why taking probiotics that can continuously produce GABA in the body may be more effective than taking GABA alone.

Conclusion

If you also have people with high mental stress, insufficient memory, especially those who cannot sleep or cannot sleep well, you might as well take natural foods rich in GABA and adjust the nerve balance to avoid long-term accumulation and becoming self-disciplined neural mismatch. Especially the health problems caused by insufficient sleep are too many for modern people. There are many strange problems and health conditions in modern people. I can’t see the doctor many times. In fact, the final root cause may be sleep disorders or self-discipline neurologic mismatch caused by pressure (refer to the previous article, lack of sleep will make your mortality rate 1.7 times higher and you will be fat by 5 kilograms). If you don’t pay attention, it will become a source of all diseases.
