Low GABA Levels. One of the main causes of sleep maintenance insomnia results from low levels of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) called GABA. GABA is your main relaxing and tranquillising brain chemical.
GABA and the Blood-Brain Barrier. Despite all of these benefits of GABA, you might be wondering why GABA supplements themselves are ineffective for anxiety. The reason has to do with something called the blood-brain barrier which is a system in your brain that separates circulating blood from reaching your brain tissue.t is produced in the brain from Glutamate (another amino acid and neurotransmitter) as well as vitamin B6. However, GABA does not work in a similar fashion to most other amino acids; it does not become involved in the building of proteins.
