How Gastrodine Works: Calming and Protecting the Brain

Gastrodine modulates GABA/glutamate and quenches oxidative stress to protect neurons

1

Brain Penetration & Conversion to p-Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol

Gastrodine crosses the blood-brain barrier and is hydrolyzed to its aglycone p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, the species thought to mediate much of the activity.

2

GABAergic & Glutamatergic Modulation

It enhances GABAergic inhibitory tone and dampens excessive glutamatergic (NMDA) signaling, producing calming, sleep-promoting and anti-excitotoxic effects.

3

Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory & Neuroprotection

Gastrodine reduces reactive-oxygen species and neuroinflammation and protects neurons against ischemia, excitotoxicity and age-related injury.
