Known as a miracle weapon for alleviating stress and anxiety:
1) Increase in GABA level:
Magnesium helps to bind and stimulate GABA receptors in the brain.
GABA stands for Gamma -Aminobutyric Acid, which is a primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, one that slows brain activity.

When GABA is low, your brain gets stuck in the “on” position and it is very hard to relax.
A low GABA level is connected with numerous stress-related disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, irritable bowel syndrome, and Parkinson’s disease, tardive dyskinesia, and Huntington’s chorea.
