Will Adding 100mg of GABA to Your Whey Turn You into GH-ulk? RCT Finds 10x Higher Total Lean Mass Gainz, BUT...

Sometimes study results just seem too good to be true... I mean, who cares about total lean (including organ) mass when everything you can show off: strength, arms, and legs didn't grow appropriately? You don't? Well, the study is still interesting. Or did you anticipate that, in young-to-middle-aged training noobs GABA probably has to be cycled to keep its effects on growth hormone (GH)? I've previously told you about #GABA , I also highlighted that it's questionable whether its use as a growth hormone ( #GH ) booster is actually going to yield visible improvements in your physique... on the other hand, the GH response to workouts was - next to cortisol - the only hormonal correlate West et al. (see Figure 1, in previous article ) observed in the best and IMHO only decently well powered long(er)-term study investigating what Stuart Philips called "a hormonal ghost" ( Philips 2012 ), i.e. the contribution of the transient increase in growth hormone, testo...

Science Round-Up July '16 Whoo... those were ~1000 presentations and poster abstracts in the May 2016 supplement of  Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise  and not each of them was exactly "exciting". In order to save you the trouble of going through all of them, I have picked 16 of them and put them together in a Science Round-Up  that spans from taking casein before bed and its effects on your nightly fat oxidation over the long-term (20 weeks!) performance benefits of beta-alanine and GABA's astonishing ability to boost your gains, to the insulin-boosting effects of ketones (+100%). Enjoy. There were also a few studies on periodization schemes - nothing new, though 30% More on the Big Three: Squat, DL, BP!

GABA - An Effective Sleep Aid W/ GH Boosting Effects that Works Within 30 Minutes - Only 100 mg Pre-Bed Will Suffice

Spinach and beans, two good sources of dietary GABA - 42 µg/g in spinach, 25 µg/g in beans (Oh. 2003) You may remember my previous article about GABA  and the accompanying discussion I had with my friend Carl Lanore on Super Human Radio in 2013 ( learn more ); and if you do, you will probably also remember that I have mentioned that some people have a paradoxical reaction to GABA. Instead of getting tired, they get wired. Whether that's related to the likewise previously discussed effects on glucose management and a potential stress response to hypo-glycemia is not clear and I have to admit: The latest GABA study does not provide an answer to this question either.

GABA Supplementation Improves Glucose Management - Even in Healthy Subjects | Significant Reduction in Glycated Albumin Levels After Only 7 Days on 3x2g GABA per Day

Written by | published on

No acute changes in blood glucose, but extreme changes in insulin levels. How can this trigger a reduction in glycated albumin - How's that possible?  You've read about gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the SuppVersity  before. While most people think of it mainly as a calming agent, though, SuppVersity  readers know that it has the remarkable ability to heal the insulin producing β-cell in rodents by stimulating their replication, protecting them against apoptosis, and attenuating insulitis (Soltani. 2011; Tian. 2013; Prud'homme. 2014; Purwana. 2014). And while these favorable effects were first observed in mice, researchers are quite sure that they are valid in humans, too- that's also because said effects have been confirmed only recently by Tian et al. (2014) and Purwana et al. (2014) in vitro as well as in xenotransplanted human islets. Learn more about the effects of GABA & co at the SuppVersity GABA Diabesity Treatment Phenibut Addic- tive ...
