Natural Factors Pharma GABA - Dietary Supplement Supports Calm Sleep & Sleep Quality - Natural, Fast-Working Supplement Aids Focus & Brain Health - 60 Chewable Tablets (30 Servings)

I bought these, along with other supplements, after stopping generic Zoloft cold-turkey (do NOT do that, taper down very slowly...I did a deep dive into depression, anxiety). I love the taste of these, & take them several times a day. Always before going to bed. They do seem to keep my moods more even. Several reviews said the tablets are very hard, one even broke a tooth. The tabs in my bottle were definitely harder than those bought elsewhere -- like they're over-cooked, so to speak -- but not rock-hard. Still, I'll buy elsewhere in the future, as they're softer.

The claim on the bottle that these are “fast acting” is not just a marketing tactic, it has proven to be accurate in my experience. I have insomnia, as well as a form of PTSD from a traumatic event that occurred during the evening so 1. I find it hard to fall asleep and 2. Wake up every few hours when I do. I’ve tried everything to help me relax and fall asleep without relying on prescriptions or alcohol. Melatonin worked initially, but gave me the worst nightmares, plus a few other concerns. CBD oil took the edge off, but I woke up with headaches - and yes I tried different brands and high quality ones. Valerian root made no noticeable difference. Chamomile tea did nothing other than having a ritual that helped me wind down. Ashwaghanda is my next top choice. It definitely helped to relieve stress and calm my mind. However I found that GABA worked the best to do all the things ashwaghanda does, plus it physically relaxes my body within a matter of minutes. No weird dreams. No groggy feeling the next morning. I’m sure there are some factors at play like DNA, gene expression, etc. but I would definitely recommend based on my personal experience.

I take these every night and they help me fell back asleep when I wake up. The texture is like Tums, but I like Tums. I definitely will be taking these for a long time!

This Pharma Gaba along with the l-tryptophan have been an absolute life saver!! For years I've dealt with crazy restless legs, unbearable, causing me to not be able to sleep at night. And then after reading the "Mood Cure" book it talked about chewable GABA and l-tryptophan before bed. I another brand of chewable regular gaba and it didn't really work, but then tried this Pharma gaba. Game changer. Life saver. I l'evento been consistently falling asleep within 15-30 mins and sleep through the night, which hasn't happened for years!! I used to run on 1-4 hours of sleep during bad cycles and maybe 6 hours of sleep on a good night. Now I'm finally sleeping, and feeling like a human being with a functioning brain. I can focus again, recall things, this gaba has definitely brought anxiety levels down when I've needed it too. I mostly take it just at night but I have taken it during the day before during high stress times. Highly recommend, just... don't take too much. Take 1. If you take too much it can actually make anxiety levels worse. So, easy does it, take 1, give it a chance to work.

I had previously used the Now company’s chewable GABA product but that doesn’t seem to be available currently so I tried this product. It’s just as effective; I prefer to have a chewable version for the times that I wake up during the night. GABA reduces my restless legs issue and helps me sleep. Just be warned that you could fracture a tooth if you try to chomp down on these. They would make a great dog chew product. I have to to moisten them with saliva or even water for a minute or so before I can actually grind and chew them. So they are chewable but be careful.

Good product

Scared to take it, due to wet looking chemical spots on the tablets. I saw another review stating the same and mine looks identical to theirs. Now I’m scared to take it.

Bought these for my mom who has anxiety. She swears by them and says they really help calm her when she feels anxious. Great taste too.

I recently tried a pharmaceutical grade version of this in a test size bottle to see if it would help with stress/anxiety - I can honestly say that with this being the same dosage, it had the same effect, tasted just as great, has great ingredients, and was probably about half the cost! I have used this a few times now, and I find that although the bottle says you can take 1 or 2 tablets at a time, 1 tablet was the right amount to give me the calming effect that I was looking for while still allowing me to function normally. 2 tablets seemed to be just a bit too strong for me, and made me a little too relaxed to the point that I wasn't drowsy, but also probably wouldn't say no to the opportunity to have a nap. My fiance has also used this a few times now as well, to help with his social anxiety - he noticed a drastic and positive effect after only the first use (he took it half an hour before having to be in a very busy and social place) and he told me after leaving the event, hours later, that it was probably the first time he ever felt "normal" in a situation like that. We have both noticed very similar results from the Pharma GABA, with no side effects at all (this being a HUGE positive factor.) This has proven to be a really great product in my search for help with anxiety, and I can easily say that I have now added it to my arsenal of tools to help with anxiety/stress when I feel that I really need some relief from the mental and physical symptoms of anxiety.

The thing with natural supplements is that they work really well for some people and not for others, so you'll see some raving reviews and some that give it one star because 'it doesn't work at all'. GABA works for me really well - most of the time - when I have trouble falling asleep. I take two pills (I find that one is not enough) with 500mg of Inositol (vitamin B8) and sometimes magnesium. Even if it doesn't immediately help me fall asleep, it induces a very relaxed, restful state. There are other natural herbs that may really help - there is a lot of legitimate research involving a combination of Valerian and Lemon Balm (which saved me during a period of acute, severe insomnia, after I developed resistance to Z-drugs). Again, these supplement may do wonders for you or may not, but they are definitely worth trying and with some level of persistence until you find the right dosage and combination.

I ordered this, as my doctor made the suggestion for me to take this to calm my nerves and stress levels, as I didn’t want to take any meds. I decided to give GABA a try, and I must say it works wonders just what I needed to calm me down. Age 50 can be tricky, I would recommend giving this a try. My husband now at times even says “ have you taken your GABA” lol well worth the money and easy to chew.

I'm a natural anxious person, with a very short temper, and these have helped me stay calmer throughout the day. I'm on a very stressful period with my studies and I need these to stay calm and concentrate better. I do think they work and I even used 1 before my last exam and calmed me so I can better concentrate. I wish I knew about these in my teenage years. I love them, and I try to use them only when I feel my days are heavy, because I don't want the effect to wear off overtime. But yes if you need some anxiety relaxer this is great and depending on what level of anxiety you are on you may need a couple of these throughout the day. Does not cause any somnolence, just a very clear head in my opinion. I do think I may try the 250mg ones later, just to see on what extend it is better.
