I remember seeing GABA mentioned in some health/nutrition publications. I don't remember, whether it's something you can actually get as a supplement, or get things which turn into GABA in the body, or what normal food items may have it.

The blood-brain barrier is pretty strict about what gets into the brain. Doubt a dietary supplement would help.

arkfreepdom is correct. My mother has a GABA-related neurological condition and has been assured by all her specialists that eating GABA doesn't result in more GABA in your brain. The stuff is widely available as a supplement, apparently (per PoisedWoman's post) because it has other effects, though the supplement sellers would probably not bother disabusing any prospective customers of the notion that it might increase brain levels of GABA.

Wasn't there a song that went GABA! GABA! GABA! GABA! GABA! GABA! GABA! said the monkey to the chimp?

Oh Duh! I almost forgot, it was DABA! DABA! DABA!.

I need some of that GABA stuff. <;-)
