That's not just what it is, that's what people who have no idea about the product say becasue it is an ingredient. GABA in theory is good, but it can't cross the blood/brain barrier making basically useless. The gaba in this has been altered and will cross this barrier, not to mention it has 2 other ingredients. It works great and is worth getting. Go to S.teroidology, a lot of people there have used it.
