Gaba Tea (Gamma-amino butyric acid )
GABA Tea is a new natural healthy tea which is rich in r-amino butyric acid which was found inadvertently by Dr.Tsushida Tojiro from Japan's National Tea Experiment station in 1987, when he was doing research for the Amino acid metabolism of tea. He noticed that tea leaf contain the rich Glutamic Acid which could transform into r-amino butyric acid and aspartic acid transform into Alanine Acid.
It is a miracle finding GABA tea. As it is different to the tradition way of producing tea. Because tea usually is produced in an oxygen rich atmosphere, but GABA tea is produced in nitrogen-rich atmosphere.
Many clinical studies have shown that the ingestion of GABA releases growth hormones, especially after exercise, with remarkable effectiveness. The release of growth hormone is known to increase lean body mass. Consequently, Gaba tea is an invaluable nutritional supplement for body builders, power lifters, runners, martial artists, and athletes of all types.
In addition, because of its calming and soothing effects, GABA also lowers blood pressure, helps control hypoglycaemia, prevents anxiety and promotes restful sleep. To an extent, it also regulates appetite, which is helpful in maintaining optimal weight.
All tea has health-promoting compounds, but GABA tea has the highest concentration of anti-oxidants, including catechins, flavanoids, and polyphenols. Anti-oxidants are helpful in fighting many types of disease including: cancer, Parkinson's disease, senility, drug-induced deafness, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.
Here is a list of some of the recognized benefits of GABA.
- Reduces high blood pressure
- Stress and anxiety relief
- Deceases hypertension
- Increases mental alertness
- Increases memory retention
- Increases energy levels & exercise endurance
- Weight loss
- Anti-bacterial
- Alleviates alcoholic withdrawal symptoms
- Prevents and cures hangovers
- Anti aging properties
- Improves sleep quality
