Re: I wonder if NEW SUPPLEMENTS-- try this
Hi #40679
This is the one you are taking that concerns me.
Adrenal Stress-End
Other Ingredients:
Gelatin, clove flower bud, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide color. ***All organs and glands derived from bovine sources.
What results are you trying to achieve?
Here is a better way to end stress with these supplements, and also reduce aging.
If you take the anti aging supplement Gaba for several months, natural color hair will start replacing gray hair.
Gaba 2 times a day
L-Tyrosine 3 times a day
Vitamin B Complex once a day
Brain Chemical May Thwart Ravages of Aging: Study
May 2, 2003
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A shot of a brain chemical called GABA essentially turned back the clocks in the brains of older monkeys, whose brain function briefly operated at levels normally seen in monkeys less than half their age.
The finding may one day help scientists reverse similar age-related deterioration in the brains of people, according to the report published Friday in the journal Science.
GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a messenger chemical that is essential for optimizing how brain cells transmit messages to each other and acts to put a damper on unwanted brain signaling activity, explained the study's lead author Dr. Audie G. Leventhal at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City.
Although GABA's age-related decline has not been documented in humans, a host of studies in mammals, including other primates, suggests that a similar process is at work in people, explained Leventhal.
In the current study, Leventhal's team evaluated how a brain region called the visual cortex in old and young monkeys responds to micro-shots of GABA.
Monkeys between the ages of 26 and 32 -- considered very old for monkeys -- that got GABA directly delivered to their neurons responded to visual patterns, such as flashing vertical and horizontal lines, in much the same way as monkeys aged 7 to 9 years old did, according to Leventhal.
Without GABA delivery, the monkeys' aged brains had more difficulty firing neurons that specifically gauge various aspects of depth perception, motion and color, explained Leventhal. Instead, older monkeys have more random firings that make it difficult to observe visual nuances.
In younger monkeys, GABA had no effect since their brains already had optimal GABA functioning.
"The challenge now is to go and look at a variety of GABA-increasing drugs and see how they influence other areas of the brain" and whether or not they improve brain functions known to decline as people age, such as hearing and memory, said Leventhal.
Leventhal noted that a class of tranquilizers known as benzodiazepines (including Valium, Xanax and Librium) work by boosting levels of GABA in the brain.
"It may be that already approved GABA (boosting drugs) have a positive effect on mental decline in the brains of older adults, but nobody has ever looked," he told Reuters Health.
Nonetheless, the findings raise some hope that a general decline in GABA may be correctable, explained Leventhal, who noted that people are born and die with the same nerve cells and more research should be conducted in preserving their function.

ROLE FOR ANTI-AGING:
Because of its inhibitory effects upon the CNS, supplemental GABA can be useful for aiding relaxation. GABA can help to decrease epileptic seizures and muscle spasms by inhibiting message transmission in neurons. This helps control nerve cells from firing too fast, which would overload the system. As GABA stimulates the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary, it can help to increase lean body mass. GABA also lowers blood pressure, helps control hypoglycemia, prevents anxiety, and promotes sleep.
