How Is GABA Related to Hair Loss?
- GABA is a natural occurring compound that can be easily synthesized into supplement form. People take the GABA supplement for many different reasons such as insomnia, relaxation and stress. In addition, GABA enhances the release of the human growth hormone.
- Since GABA increases the release of human growth hormone, people have been taking the GABA supplement to prevent hair loss since taking human growth hormone is illegal. Restoring or increasing levels of the human growth hormone has been clinically linked to preventing hair loss and restoring hair in individuals.
- GABA supplements have not been approved by the FDA and there have been some side effects reported. Side effects include tickling or itchy sensations on the face and neck, breathing problems, seizures and drowsiness.
