GABA

What is DLPA??

Finally I decided to try it out myself. Went to a local GNC & WTF, they don't have any GABA! So looks like I'll get it by mail from their website.

This is wierd, GABA is listed in the women's section @ GNC! Anyone noticed? You guys (in US) have been taking the same thing right?

So has anyone noticed thing slike stronger erections (I don't expect this with GABA, might be arginine) but incase...

I just purchased my bottle of GABA today at GNC and will take my first dosage tonite when I go to sleep on an empty stomach as many of you mention. I am currently on a diet and fitness regimen and hopefully this will assist with some fat loss all over my body but in particular my gut.

Other supplements that I am on are:
Multi-vitamin
Vitamin E 1000 IU once a day
Glucosamine & Chondroitin 1000 mg and 800 mg (respectively)
Creatine 5g twice a day
L-Glutamine 5g twice a day
CLA 1.5g twice a day
L-Arginine 500mg once a day
GABA 2250mg once a day

I am wanting to lose body fat and gain some muscle. I am currently on a diet and exercise regimen from Men's Health.com's Belly Off Club and so far so good. After 5 weeks I have lost 12 pounds and 2" off my gut by weight lifting twice a week and doing cardio a minimum of 3 times a week (usually more). Wish me luck!

Nurse practioner said no problem.

For those that take Niacin with the GABA have you experienced any of these side-effects?

What are the common side effects

Flushing of the skin (most common)
Itching or tingling of the skin
*
Skin rash
Call your doctor if the skin rash is severe or persists. It may be necessary to stop taking the niacin.
Headaches
Gastrointestinal (stomach/intestine) upset
Take niacin with food at breakfast, lunch and dinner to prevent stomach upset.
Your body will adjust to niacin within 3 to 6 weeks and the side effects will greatly decrease.

What can I do to reduce the flushing side effect?

Take one-half of an adult-size aspirin 20 minutes before each dose of niacin. (Do not take aspirin if you are on Coumadin.) You may only need to take the aspirin for 3 to 4 weeks until your body adjusts to the niacin.
Do not drink alcohol, take a hot bath or expose your skin to the sun; these make the flushing worse.
If you are going out to dinner and you don't want to experience a "flush," take your dose of niacin as soon as you get home.
If the flushing is getting worse, do not increase your dose. Take your current dose for a few more days to allow your body more time to adjust. If the flushing becomes too uncomfortable, decrease your dose by one or two tablets and stay with that dose. Call your doctor and tell him or her what dose you are taking.
What are some other side effects

Increased blood uric acid levels which can bring on symptoms of gout if you've had gout in the past*
Increased blood sugar levels*
Darkening of the skin in the armpits and groin area (rare)
Inflammation of the liver, and rarely liver problems*
*Blood tests are taken every 6 to 12 weeks for the first 15 months of niacin therapy. These blood tests monitor uric acid, blood sugar, liver enzymes and blood lipids to prevent the side effects listed above and to monitor the effectiveness of therapy.

Apparently GABA sells out fast here, so I have to go and buy it whenever they get a new shipment in.

Snake: DLPA info can be found here. http://gnc.mondosearch.com/cgi-bin/...ost_id=1&page_id=4596&query=dlpa&hiword=DLPA+

Apostle: That's the same stuff I take.

Do you take DLPA already? If so, whats your opinion? I take Glutamine with GABA but no noticable changes as of yet. I'm dissapointed, I expected more from that amino.

I'm surprised with this comment. You mentioned that your old pants don't fit, so looks like you are in better shape. I guess you mean in terms of muscle growth or Penis Enlargement?

Thanks ItsElectric. I enjoyed the link a few posts back. Your the man!

Just the fact that glutamine made no change from just GABA alone. Maybe it would be different if I didnt take GABA too.

I have been taking GABA for only about a week now & I can already tell a difference in how much more I cum.

Could it be your more relaxed during sex/masturbation by the GABA and this gives you the ability to spew forth more?

I haven't started taking DLPA yet, I was planning to take it and Glutamine. Probably will buy them the next time I go to GNC or something. Won't be too long, I'm almost outta GABA.

I'm taking 5-HTP+GABA now. The 5-HTP has niacin in it. Its a different feel. Let me tell you that it has me more aggressive. Dont know why but I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Whatya guys think of this?
I finally started GNC GABA yesterday. Gulped 3 750mg pills before sleeping and nothing happened!! No breathlessness, gas or sensations at all!! Looks like it's not crossing the blood brain barrier for me? Do you guys take it on empty stomach? I took it 1/2 an hour after dinner....

This is wierd, GNC gaba feels like a placebo... maybe it has something to do with "hollow legs" (a person who can withstand a whole lotta boozing without getting affected)??? I have hollow legs. Been taking 2.25 gm for the past 2 days and absolutely no feeling whatsoever. I'll try 3 gms tonite.
Electric, you get sensations with 2.25 gms. How do you take it, I mean on empty stomach? Whats the gap between dinner and GABA?

I take it usually a few hours before eating (empty stomach). I don't eat much in the day, but when I do it's at like 4:30 and I take my GABA around 9:30 or so. Since I have started taking DLPA and L-Glutamine, I haven't felt the side effects of the GABA. I've just been really relaxed and calm. Also have started this great book 'The 48 Laws of Power'. Anyways, how long have you been taking it? A few days? If so, it may take a few days to get into your system totally. Sometimes though, I take my GABA then eat about 10 minutes afterwards and I still feel the effects.

Apostle,

Wait up! I think that the reason it works differently on various people is the sensitivity of the GABA receptors in our heads. You might be very unaxiety prone and not notice a difference. Yet Wally the Worry Wort takes a hit of it and he is flying into calmness with it cause his sensitivity or starting level is lower than what you got. Think of it kind of like oil in a car motor. Bone dry is bad but may be someon'e starting point with this. Yours could be at 4 and 1/2 quarts out of the five capacity. Get what I am saying to notice/feel the difference?

Guess you are right! I don't get anxious & I'm not agitated or anything out of ordinary. Also booze has a lesser effect on me than most others. What I'm particularly interested is in the effects of 5 fold increase of GH as against any sedative/calming effects of GABa. I hope to care less about diet/gym & get GABA to do the work while I party :D
