Natural Factors Stress-Relax Chewable Pharma GABA 100 mg, Non-Drowsy Stress Support for Relaxation and Mental Focus, Tropical Fruit Flavor, 60 Tablets

Good product for a natural solution to anxiety. They taste good and actually work quickly. I’ve been happy with them for occasional use. They don’t have a super long shelf life once opened.

The claim on the bottle that these are “fast acting” is not just a marketing tactic, it has proven to be accurate in my experience. I have insomnia, as well as a form of PTSD from a traumatic event that occurred during the evening so 1. I find it hard to fall asleep and 2. Wake up every few hours when I do. I’ve tried everything to help me relax and fall asleep without relying on prescriptions or alcohol.Melatonin worked initially, but gave me the worst nightmares, plus a few other concerns.CBD oil took the edge off, but I woke up with headaches - and yes I tried different brands and high quality ones.Valerian root made no noticeable difference.Chamomile tea did nothing other than having a ritual that helped me wind down.Ashwaghanda is my next top choice. It definitely helped to relieve stress and calm my mind.However I found that GABA worked the best to do all the things ashwaghanda does, plus it physically relaxes my body within a matter of minutes. No weird dreams. No groggy feeling the next morning.I’m sure there are some factors at play like DNA, gene expression, etc. but I would definitely recommend based on my personal experience.

This Pharma Gaba along with the l-tryptophan have been an absolute life saver!! For years I've dealt with crazy restless legs, unbearable, causing me to not be able to sleep at night. And then after reading the "Mood Cure" book it talked about chewable GABA and l-tryptophan before bed. I another brand of chewable regular gaba and it didn't really work, but then tried this Pharma gaba. Game changer. Life saver. I l'evento been consistently falling asleep within 15-30 mins and sleep through the night, which hasn't happened for years!! I used to run on 1-4 hours of sleep during bad cycles and maybe 6 hours of sleep on a good night. Now I'm finally sleeping, and feeling like a human being with a functioning brain. I can focus again, recall things, this gaba has definitely brought anxiety levels down when I've needed it too. I mostly take it just at night but I have taken it during the day before during high stress times. Highly recommend, just... don't take too much. Take 1. If you take too much it can actually make anxiety levels worse. So, easy does it, take 1, give it a chance to work.

I had previously used the Now company’s chewable GABA product but that doesn’t seem to be available currently so I tried this product. It’s just as effective; I prefer to have a chewable version for the times that I wake up during the night. GABA reduces my restless legs issue and helps me sleep. Just be warned that you could fracture a tooth if you try to chomp down on these. They would make a great dog chew product. I have to to moisten them with saliva or even water for a minute or so before I can actually grind and chew them. So they are chewable but be careful.

I first discovered this while shopping in Sprouts. Not by myself though! Oh no...I was in there trying to locate something for my insomnia but because there were so many people in there that day and what felt like a ton of choices, my anxiety felt like it was in a race to the finish line that didn't exist. *scrunched up face here* I was rubbing the top part of my chest and periodically playing with the charm on my necklace when a wonderful store employee came over and asked if I needed help (sadly, lol beyond what she could provide (or so I thought)). Of course I breathed out a "Yes!". Next she asked if I was suffering from anxiety. I'm still chuckling over this question because I next exclaimed "how can you tell?!" (as if it wasn't ridiculously obvious) She shared what she saw, called a gal over to run upstairs and get a bottle of something (to which I could hear because my head was a bit fuzzy (those of you with terrible anxiety will understand this review in it's entirety)). Turns out the woman who was asking me if I needed for help was the manager of the supplements dept and provided me with a couple of these Pharma Gaba chewable tablets. I chewed them up and was anxiety free for approximately 5.5 hrs within a few moments/minutes. I now keep them on hand and when I come across folks who are like me I am able to give them a couple and tell them about how to find them. I've been doing this since mid-2019. Hope this helps. :)

Ok, so long story short! Recently I was told by my psych that I was going to be tapered off my 3mg mg of clonazepam that I have been on for 25yrs!! Ugh!! I set out on a quest to find any & all alternative treatments for anxiety relief, panic attacks, & sleep! I stumbled upon these two after looking on Amazon for my daily L-methylfolate 15mg; which is also a GODSEND...I MIGHT LIKE TO ADD!! Anyway, I'm a skeptic by nature as a biologist in medical field; but these two products are truly heavenly & I can truly tell a significant difference the nights that I forget to chew 2 tabs of each...which are pretty tasty, I might add! I calm down quicker, am able to actually get to sleep quicker and sleep better on the nights I take them!! I NEVER use alternative treatments for my mental health care; but, these two products actually work!! And they work better together, I think! They both have their own independent merits & due to the fact that they are a bit pricey for a months worth(1 bottle)...you truly have to decide if you are able to splurge to get yourself some anxiety, panic, and sleep relief?? You are worth It...lol ❤
