Factor in that gaba is tested and shown to increase endogenous GH production, which can pass the BBB shows that direct mechanism isn't the only effect that gives gaba its benefits. The increase in GH can and likely is the deeper sleep benefit users experience and report. I'm sure there are other down stream mechanisms that it acts upon as well, but I'll be honest I don't know them all. But as BBers and athletes we're worried about how to get the most bang for buck benefits from supps and supp combo's, gaba being a pretty cheap answer to multiple issues(sleep quality, sleep duration, recovery from the enhanced sleep, endogenous gh increases,etc) only makes sense for people to test out themselves. Even if it is a placebo effect, as long as the cost to benefit ratio is in favor of benefits then I don't see the issue trial running thus or any other supp.
In my opinion, this is how we should act in a reply to an opinion. It doesnt always have to be cut throat in a disagreement.

Respect JM. Respect.
