Gamma Aminobutyric Acid Powder CAS 56-12-2

GABA functions as a “brake” for the brain. It blocks specific signals in the central nervous system, slowing down the brain’s activity. This mechanism is crucial for regulating muscle tone and reducing excitability.

Why choose our Fermented GABA?

1. High Purity: Our assay is consistently above 99%, with low impurity profiles, making it suitable for premium health brands.
2. Water Solubility: It dissolves easily in water, creating a clear, colorless solution. This is perfect for functional water, energy drinks, or gummies where clarity and texture matter.
3. Certifications: Our manufacturing partners typically hold ISO, Kosher, and Halal certifications to meet global export standards.
4. Stability: It remains stable under normal processing temperatures and pH levels found in food production.

Physicochemical Properties

Applications

1. Dietary Supplements (Capsules/Tablets):
   • Marketed for sleep improvement, anxiety relief, and relaxation. Often blended with Melatonin, L-Theanine, or Magnesium.
2. Functional Foods & Beverages:
   • GABA Tea/Coffee: Added to beverages to counteract the jitters from caffeine or to promote focus without stress.
   • Confectionery: Used in “Stress-Relief” chocolates and gummies (very popular in Asian markets).
3. Sports Nutrition:
   • Used to stimulate the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and aid in muscle recovery.
4. Animal Feed:
   • Used as a feed additive to reduce stress in livestock caused by heat or transportation.

Storage Conditions

• Hygroscopic Nature: GABA is slightly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture). It is critical to keep the inner liner bag tightly sealed after use.
• Environment: Store in a cool, dry warehouse.
• Temperature: Room temperature is acceptable, but avoid excessive heat.
• Shelf Life: 24 months in original packaging.

Safety Precautions

• Classification: Not classified as a Dangerous Good (Non-DG) for road, sea, or air transport.
• Handling: Wear standard PPE (dust mask, gloves, goggles). The powder can cause mild mechanical irritation to eyes or respiratory tract if inhaled in large quantities.
• Ingestion: Safe for consumption in regulated doses. LD50 (Oral, rat) is > 12,680 mg/kg, indicating very low toxicity.
• Fire: As with organic powders, high concentrations of dust in the air can present a dust explosion hazard. Ensure good ventilation.
