GABA: From Sleep Aid to Functional Nutrition Catalyst
Prumix empowers next-generation product development with high-quality GABA ingredients
In the evolving functional nutrition landscape, GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) has emerged as more than a sleep aid. Its validated efficacy in emotional regulation, stress reduction, and adolescent growth support is transforming it into a multi-scenario active ingredient across dietary supplements and functional foods.
Market Evolution: From Monofunctional to Multidimensional Ingredient
Sleep Support: GABA is a safer, non-habit-forming alternative to melatonin. According to Allied Market Research, the global sleep aid market reached USD 6.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 11.8 billion by 2034.
Emotional Health: GABA helps increase α-brain wave activity, alleviating mental fatigue, anxiety, and stress. It is increasingly applied in stress-relief beverages, calming gummies, and mental wellness snacks.
Growth and Development: GABA stimulates natural GH (growth hormone) secretion, aiding skeletal development. Studies show GABA supplementation may boost children’s height gain by 0.36cm/month over the average. It is now a core component in growth-positioned milk powders and functional dairy products.
