Gaba
Gaba-Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid
Very cool new research study just came out on the benefits of early treatment of covid19 with Gaba in Mice. Early treatment as in the very 1st 2 days of infection. This is very important to note!!! Within the 1st couple days of infection, underline this if you need to.
Now, it is a mouse study, not a human study at this time but the results are amazing. These mice are special mice that have human Ace2 receptors on epithelial cells like we humans do.
In this study, the control group was just given water and food. In the study group of mice, they were given both 0.2mg/ml and 2.0mg/ml in their water and they drank about 3.5 ml of water a day. That works out to roughly 0.68mg/ml of Gaba (600mg) for a 70kg person (154lbs).
The mice were then infected with covid19.
Within 7-8 days 80% of the mice in the control group (no Gaba) died!!
But in the study group that got the Gaba, 80% survived!! Wowzeee.
The study group had less viral load, less inflammation and they produced more beneficial anti-infammatory cytokines and chemokines.
Gaba does not act as an anti-viral, rather it help modulates our immune system to work smarter at keeping the virus in check.
Why did they do this study? Dr Been Medical Lectures says that some doctors were noticing that hospitalized covid patients that were taking Gaba for some reason had better outcomes.
Of course, a human study is needed before anyone can recommend this as early treatment, but hey, we got a number for it!!
