Product analysis

53 out of 100

Pharma GABA 100 mg may offer short-term calming support during stressful tasks. The limited, preparation-specific evidence makes lasting stress relief and everyday mood or sleep benefits less certain.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality20

The GABA preparation is not clearly identified. That makes it harder to compare its quality with the specific preparations behind the available evidence.

Ingredient Transparency63

The listed amounts are disclosed, so the serving quantity can be checked. Preparation details are missing, limiting a comparison with other GABA supplements.

Value For Money64

The serving price appears reasonably favorable for GABA. Value for the listed carbohydrate is not established.

Customer Satisfaction84

Feedback is favorable across thousands of ratings. The large number of opinions gives a broader picture of buyer satisfaction.

Product Focus63

Short-term calming is the clearest potential use. Support for everyday mood and sleep is less certain and depends on the preparation.
