What the Research Shows
Systematic review of 14 placebo-controlled human trials examining oral GABA supplementation for stress and sleep. Found limited evidence supporting stress reduction (including EEG alpha-wave increases and salivary IgA maintenance) and very limited evidence for sleep benefits. Doses ranged from 100-300 mg.

A second study (n=8) showed GABA maintained salivary IgA levels under acute stress versus placebo.
