Description
MarkNature's Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is a water-soluble, food-grade amino acid derived through fermentation using Lactobacillaceae, meeting USP standards. This naturally occurring compound is formed by the decarboxylation of glutamic acid, catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase. GABA is abundantly found in the brain and eye retinas, although only trace amounts occur in plant seed germs, vegetables, and fruits.
Sourced from Lactobacillaceae, MarkNature’s GABA provides distinct advantages over chemically synthesized or Corynebacterium-derived alternatives. The fermentation process ensures superior water solubility, enhanced bioavailability, and fewer impurities, offering a safer and more effective form of GABA for diverse food and health applications.
