About This Product
CanPrev Liposomal GABA is a citrus-flavoured liquid with 300 mg of GABA and 100 mg of L-theanine in each teaspoon, carried in liposomes made from sunflower phospholipids. Helps to temporarily promote relaxation. A 225 mL bottle gives 45 daily teaspoons.
What CanPrev Liposomal GABA is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80109975, with this recommended use:
- Helps to temporarily promote relaxation.
The two ingredients
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter your body makes on its own. It is the main inhibitory messenger in the nervous system, the signal that tells nerve cells to slow down. Each teaspoon provides 300 mg.
L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, and it is part of what gives green tea its character. Each teaspoon adds 100 mg.
Why a liposomal liquid
A liposome is a microscopic sphere with a wall made of phospholipids, the same kind of fat that forms your cell membranes. The ingredients sit inside those spheres. CanPrev makes its liposomes from sunflower phosphatidylcholine, so the formula is soy-free, and layers one phospholipid wall inside another.
The format also suits a wind-down routine: one teaspoon, no capsules. The flavour comes from cold-pressed orange oil and lemon peel oil, and the formula has no sugar. Turmeric adds colour and vitamin E keeps the oils fresh. CanPrev lists it as vegan and GMO-free, with no gluten, dairy, soy, wheat, yeast, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Where it sits in CanPrev's range
Liposomal GABA belongs to the same liposomal family as CanPrev Liposomal NAC, Liposomal CoQ10 and Liposomal Vitamin C. If you prefer a capsule for evenings, CanPrev's Sleep-Reset Melatonin is the brand's melatonin option.
