Germinated Brown Rice GABA Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Y-Aminobutyric Acid
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is an amino acid found mainly in the human brain and eyes.
It is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it regulates brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain.
GABA is referred to as the "brain's natural calming agent", and by inhibiting over-stimulation of the brain, GABA may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension.
GABA is an essential element in nutritional treatment of Alcoholism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Dementia, Schizophrenia, and Stress. Very Important for Parkinson's Disease and Premenstrual Syndrome.
Important for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Substance Abuse, Wilsons Disease and helpful for Depression and Obesity.
Studies have also shown that Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid supplementation increases the release of HGH making GABA of interest to athletes, trainers, and body builders.
More about germinated brown rice
Germinated brown rice is brown rice (Oryza sativa,spp ) soaked in water until it just begins to bud. The outer bran layer becomes soft and more prone to water absorption, making it easier to cook. Enzymes produced during the budding process break down sugar and protein, giving the rice a sweet flavor. Experts say, the germinated rice may enhance brain functions and reduce levels of lipids, or fats, in the blood. Studies have found that germinated brown rice contains three times as much gamma amino butyric acid, an amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter, as conventional brown rice, and five times as much as white rice.
Researchers say rice reaches its best state as a food during germination. Thus tremendous changes would occur in our health if we lived on germinated brown rice.
