Review: Found something that finally works - My physician recommended this for my anxiety. I had tried many other supplements on my own that all promised to calm, relax, help focus, help sleep, etc. I have struggled with insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks for the past 4 years. I am currently taking Xanax to help manage my symptoms but I do not want to stay on Xanax the rest of my life. This is the only product that I have found that actually works. It keeps the anxiety from getting out of control. I can usually just breathe through it now. And this supplement has allowed me to start dosing back on Xanax. I take PharmaGaba 3 times daily as recommended. It does not make me sleepy but rather just levels everything out. It does not feel like I took a Xanax which you definitely feel the affects of but rather I noticed that I just felt calm throughout the day. No ups and downs, no jitters, no racing heart, no fight or flight feeling. It really has given me hope that I will be able to get off of Xanax and start to manage my anxiety in a healthier way.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the difference between gaba and pharmagaba ?**
A: The natural GABA in Thorne's PharmaGABA-100 and PharmaGABA-250 is produced via a fermentation process that utilizes Lactobacillus hilgardii, the bacteria used to ferment vegetables in the preparation of the traditional Korean cabbage dish known as kimchi. Clinical studies show this natural form of GABA can increase the production of alpha-waves in the brain, creating a profound sense of physical relaxation while maintaining mental focus. In contrast, the stress-related beta-waves in the brain are decreased. In addition to changes in brain waves, natural PharmaGABA has been shown to produce relaxation, as evidenced by reduced pupil diameter, heart rate, and two natural markers of stress – salivary cortisol and chromogranin A. In a head-to-head, double-blind trial of natural PharmaGABA versus synthetic GABA, synthetic GABA did not demonstrate these positive effects.

**Q: If I break this open and mix with water, how would it taste?**
A: It does not have much of a taste, we've opened it up and put it in my son's juice (at the recommendation of our doctor.)  And our son drinks it right up :-)

**Q: What is the specific dose of magnesium citrate used in it, so I can adjust my magnesium supplementation accordingly.**
A: Thorne's PharmaGABA-250 contains 18 mg of magnesium citrate, per one-capsule serving.

**Q: any chance they can get cross contact somehow with gluten? (wheat and all related grains, rye and barley)**
A: Thorne’s PharmaGABA-250 does not contain gluten from wheat or any other related grains, such as rye and barley. Thorne deals with the possibility of cross-contamination very seriously by quarantining potentially allergenic raw materials in a physically separate area in our manufacturing facility and by having closed air circulation during manufacturing to prevent cross-contamination. Thorne also requires its ingredient suppliers to disclose their manufacturing procedures, including any possible contact with potential allergens, including corn, dairy, and gluten, among many others. Thorne’s products that do contain known allergens are labeled as such on the product label and on their website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great for upside down cortisol levels + need to sleep at night
*by M***E on July 13, 2022*

I did a sleep/stress test and learned that my cortisol was upside down. Low in the morning - so sluggish and can't get out of bed, even at 10 AM, I could only get up because I HAD TO. High in the evening - laying in bed, almost like I have a panic attack - so alert, I can't sleep. I'm taking a few supplements now and altering my diet and lifestyle to reduce my cortisol levels. I want them high in the morning, so I can spring out of bed and low in the evening to lay down and rest. This PharmaGABA-250 is one of the supplements I started taking with the guidance of a functional nutritionist after we saw my cortisol labs. I can report that I noticed the effect of this supplement. I took it with a small glass of water about 30 minutes before bedtime. Fifteen minutes in, I started to feel very heavy - like how I feel when I'm sleepy. I did my bedtime routine - put on PJs, washed my face, brushed my teeth, etc., and got into bed. I woke up the next day a few minutes BEFORE my alarm. I felt refreshed, perfect. I've been taking this every night and have had great success, except one night when I had some sugar close to bedtime (I had cocoa), that disrupted the experience. So, GABA helps a lot, but diet also impacts me. One dose-related caution I would use is that my partner wanted to try this supplement to help him sleep when stressed about work. He couldn't stop thinking about work. He took one pill (same as I do), and he slept. He felt very heavy the next day and struggled with work in the morning, which was the exact opposite effect he wanted. He might benefit from Thorne's lower (100mg) dose. We've ordered it, but he hasn't tried it yet. If you're not sure how much you need, I recommend starting with the lower dose because you can always take more of them if you find you need them.
