Product analysis

57 out of 100

GABA Relaxer combines ingredients aimed at calming, with limited support for short-term stress responses. Several ingredient forms are not identified, making comparisons with other calming supplements harder.

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

Nutrient Quality48

The B vitamins have clearly identified forms. The forms of the other calming ingredients are not specified, so their quality is less clear.

Ingredient Transparency75

The amounts are fully disclosed, helping you compare servings. Most ingredient forms are not identified, leaving the label less useful for comparing preparations.

Value For Money34

The blend looks relatively expensive for its niacin, taurine and glycine content. B6 offers more moderate value, while the value of inositol remains unclear.

Customer Satisfaction80

Customer ratings are very positive. Several hundred ratings give a broader picture than a small set of reviews.

Product Focus60

Calming is the clearest purpose, although lasting stress and sleep benefits remain uncertain. The wider health claims have less consistent support.
