Does GABA Reduce Wrinkles?

I called my girls today and it seems as if we have all stumbled upon the same significant fact.

After we compared notes, we discovered that, while many wrinkle creams have GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) in it, the amino acid might do very little for the prevention or eradication of wrinkles. In other words, some of the supposed best wrinkle creams on the market with GABA in it are little more than high priced moisturizers.

You see, GABA is an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter in your central nervous system. It is also essential for healthy brain function and appears to calm the brain as well as the body.

Just as with Botox, GABA is supposed to relax the muscles of the face so that wrinkles decrease. It is also said to provide this effect by being applied topically.

It just doesn't work that way.

The sad thing is, since most people aren't familiar with what this amino acid does, they will buy into the anti-wrinkle cream manufacturer's spiel about GABA. In reality, GABA won't be able to do very much to help get rid of wrinkles when applied externally.

That said, there are a few more ingredients I want to investigate, hopefully I will start locating things that have actually been clinically proven to work.

I'll keep you informed.
