Alpha GABA PM

Alpha GABA PM by NeuroScience is a comprehensive formula comprised of a proven botanical blend and a high dose of L-theanine shown to induce calming brain waves and naturally improve sleep during times of stress.

Key Ingredients

• L-theanine
• Melatonin
• Valerian root extract
• Lemon balm leaf extract
• 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)

L-theanine is an amino acid that acts as a glutamate receptor antagonist. It has been linked to the generation of alpha brain waves, indicating a state of relaxation. Melatonin is a hormone important for the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. Supplementation with melatonin has been shown to assist with the onset of sleep. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate valerian extracts modulate GABA-A receptors. Micro-encapsulation of the valerian root is used to reduce any odors. The lemon balm in this formula utilizes a proprietary extract extensively researched to reduce stress. 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier and is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin is important for regulating mood and sleep-wake function.

The Science Behind Alpha GABA PM

High-dose L-theanine as a new approach

Alpha brain waves are naturally generated when an individual is calm and relaxed

• In a placebo-controlled study, impactful amounts of L-theanine were shown to induce the generation of alpha brain waves in groups both with and without stress
• Melatonin has been shown to rapidly increase alpha brain waves

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine intake led to significantly reduced stress

• L-theanine binds to receptors, blocking the attachment of glutamate, and at doses of 250 mg or more, lowers glutamate levels

Alpha GABA PM contains 400 mg of L-theanine and 3 mg of melatonin per serving to assist in calming the mind for sleep

Proven sleep botanicals

In a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, 30 day study, valerian and lemon balm extracts together significantly improved quality of sleep as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

• Alpha GABA PM contains a blend of botanical extracts identical to the study below to naturally improve quality of sleep

A combination of valerian root and lemon balm was shown to significantly increase brain concentrations of GABA in vivo

• Proprietary extracting technique of whole lemon balm leaf provides improved mechanism capability
• Valerian and lemon balm are naturally GABAergic botanicals

Alpha GABA PM contains proprietary whole lemon balm leaf extract and micro-encapsulated valerian root to improve onset and quality of sleep
