I have been using GABA for several weeks now. ( 3 to 4 times a day 500mg from NOW foods 500mg supplement ) and I can tell you : it surely DOES cross the blood brain barrier. It really “hits” you after 15 to 40 minutes when you take a 1000mg on an empty stomach! Being a (non-drinking ) alcoholic, I am using it to diminish alcohol-cravings. And it works. No cravings, no restlessness, deep sleep and a well rested waking up in the morning. At this moment, it feels as my best discovery since 5-HTP pulled me out of depression and seemed to have done it’s job as I don’t need to take it anymore. I hope GABA works the same way on the long run.
I will see.

I’m a mother of 7 year old son with hyperactivity problem. You wrote in this text that “The age and the weight of a child are the two determinants of the dosage.” Can you give me recommendation for dosage. My son is 24kg. Is there possibility that GABA can couse liver problems?

GABA supplement doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier very easily if at all.
