Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 6.0/10

GABA as an oral supplement remains controversial regarding its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Some studies show effects on relaxation and sleep, but mechanisms are not yet fully understood.

Value for money 8.0/10

Around €0.15 per day for 100 capsules at 750 mg is good value for money. NOW Foods hits the mid-range sweet spot.

Product quality 8.0/10

NOW Foods is an established US brand with consistently good quality. Vegan capsules, GMP production, and transparent about ingredients.

Label honesty 8.0/10

NOW Foods commendably restrains itself with GABA and does not make exaggerated efficacy claims. Clear communication.

Third-party testing 7.0/10

NOW Foods has in-house labs and produces GMP-compliantly. Third-party testing is common across the range, without premium certifications.

Product Description

NOW Foods GABA delivers 750 mg gamma-aminobutyric acid per vegan capsule. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS — the debate about whether oral GABA crosses the blood-brain barrier is not yet fully settled.

Ingredient dossier

GABA seems logical for relaxation and sleep, but faces a major bioavailability problem: oral doses likely reach the brain only partially, limiting measurable effects.
