GABA
Good morning, I was just curious if anyone has tried GABA as a preworkout? I've read online some people use it, others say it would do nothing. Figured it would be best to ask here, with such a large collective of experienced athletes and fellow gym rats.
I bought a bottle to take before bed. It gives you a flush kind of like a preworkout mix like C4 or critical mass, but after that passes you get a deep relaxed feeling. It's used to treat anxiety among other things.
The argument is that GABA greatly increases post workout growth hormone production. The people taking it say they'll offset the sedative effect with a stimulant, such as caffeine.
Does anyone have any experience with this? See any results? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry if this isn't the right thread, wanted it to get seen.

Tryed it once it use to make me tired after the tingles wore off
B.A.T.M.A.NHave not tried it but I know C4 IS GARBAGE. I stopped taking it 2 months ago and noticed such better workouts and energy levels. All these supplements are gimmick and garbage putting into your body. From what is explained to me people are better off shooting TNE as a pre workout( I DO NOT RECOMMEND UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED MEMBER WITH AAS) =) Much higher intensity levels than a sugar garbage drink
It's not like C4 or anything you would get at GNC.
It's a non essential amino acid found mainly in the brain and eyes.

I agree with you though on the gimmicky preworkout mixes. I usually just eat a banana and maybe take a caffeine pill.
RustyhookerBack 20+ yrs ago i ran it before bedtime. Noticed no effects at all. Tasted like dirty socks.
Wow 20 years ago!! i guess i never looked, i always pictured you more like my age for some reason 30-35. I'm not sure where that came from
Dang, good memory.
I take capsules, they are tasteless.
