GABA stands for Gamma Aminobutyric Acid. It is an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter (transmits nerve impulses) and is found in the central nervous system. Areas of the central nervous system associated with anxiety have a high number of GABA receptors. These are cells which will produce a response in the body when GABA attaches to them. When the body releases GABA, it helps to reduce anxiety.
