GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) strikes a balance between the excitation and inhibition of the brain. This abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter is vital for our well being, as it brings on relaxation and sleep. Due to its stimulating effect on the anterior pituitary, it increases the levels of Human Growth Hormone or HGH that is very anabolic and lipotropic. Obviously, the use of GABA supplement has a positive effect on the anabolic (muscle building) and lipotropic (fat preventing) effects. Like all other supplements, GABA may also cause mild side effects if taken more than the recommended dose. Some of the side effects of GABA include mild tingling sensation around the face and neck area and slight change in breathing patterns or heart rate that normalize in a short while. Thankfully, GABA side effects are not so severe. Due to its mild sedative effect, you must ideally take GABA before going to bed.

Phosphatidylcholine is in fact a primary dietary source of choline, an essential nutrient which can also be synthesised by the body. Phosphatidylcholine is composed of a phosphate group, 2 fatty acids and choline. The fatty acids are what make Phosphatidylcholine valuable for promoting health. Phosphatidylcholine is important because it provides the body with choline which is required for the proper metabolism of fats as well as regulating the movement of fats in and out of cells. Choline is also need to maintain cell membrane integrity. Phosphatidylcholine also increases the solubility of cholesterol and hence decreases the chances of atherosclerosis.
