“GABA is the most potent depressive neuroamine in human brains. It regulates many of the depressive and sedative actions in brain tissue and is critical for relaxation.”
My curiosity with this begins with crossing the BBB, and increasing it’s effectiveness on GH. I’m wondering if the 5-HTP works in conjunct with Gaba.

Phellodendron Root
http://www.evolutionary.org/phellodendron/
“Bodybuilding is both physically and emotionally stressful on the body.* To combat this, in recent years many athletes have turned to natural remedies that can benefit them not just physically, but also psychologically.
Phellodendron contains many alkaloids and phytonutrients that will strengthen the immune system, calm the mind, and help the athlete sleep.* That's why phellodendron is now used by bodybuilders.
Sleep is extremely crucial for athletes; studies have shown bodybuilders need at least 7 hours of sleep per night on average to help repair muscles and recover from their grueling workouts.* Those that fail to get enough sleep are wasting potential gains and put their bodies under further strain.
Add to that the use and abuse of anabolic steroids, which can affect sleep, and there can be a domino effect:* lack of recovery, injuries piling up, and mental exhaustion.* Certain anabolic steroids (such as trenbolone, testosterone, anadrol, halotestin, etc) can negatively affect organ health and cause insomnia.* Phellodendron is a great option before bed to help relax and cleanse the body, so the athlete sleeps soundly, and is ready to work hard the next day in the gym.”

That’s one heck of a stack for promoting well being and sleep.
Yes. I’m probably going to order this, but for my wife. She has a problem sleeping, minor reflux, and other gastric issues.
I sleep like the dead.
