GABA-aminobutyric acid is one of our primary inhibitory or relaxing neurotransmitters in our brain. And it's the unsung hero of the brain, John. Most people think of the superstar neurotransmitters when we're thinking about the brain or neurotransmitters in general. We're thinking about dopamine. norepinephrine, and serotonin.
And these are important, obviously, but in much smaller quantities compared to how much GABA we have in the brain. Methylene blue itself actually works on a system called the monoamine inhibitory system. It actually prevents the breakdown of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. As a result of this, you get more of those neurotransmitters and you get a mood boost.
You get more focused, a little bit more endurance.
