Why do you think GABA doesn't show up? Too new?

You sort of answered this with your first post.

Medicine has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. From the 70 thru 2000 it was find a single entity drug, that could be monitored by lab tests, then dose it accordingly based on pharmacological events. This approach is based on pressure from insurance groups- doesn't need docs. use NPs get lab values prescribe accordingly. lower cost of medicine. The entire Obamacare platform is based on this. Actually he stole it from Romney, and a guy from Intermountain Health care by the name of Sorenson.
(Sorenson medical, guys got the best collection of real Samurai swords in the world) . Sorry.
With that falling, with increase pressure from Covid, things had to change.

Herbs and natural remedies (Pharmacognosy) died when this event became accepted medical practice. Instead of having standardized botanicals, synthetics became the norm. The only economic variable was start up costs. Any plant built had to be designed around volume. Thats why Boots pharmaceutical makes all the ibuprofen in the world, nobody can make it cheaper.

Also herbs and such only work well on old men. Not so much on women, (menstrual cycle) and young people they have to much "reserve"

When the manufacturing of proteins and peptides was doable to medium size labs, things really took off. Mainly because the government cannot control it. Most peptide exist in a natural form so they can't be patented, except in the formulations . Semaglutide oral is a good example, SNAC is added to enhance the absorption thus allowing a patent. The really big change is the FDA approval is not need for them, thus the long clinical trials (and expensive) are not needed. And most of them have virtually no side effect profile.

Couple this with low start costs and you see labs cropping up all over the world..

Peptides like GABA, NAD, and there pharmacology have been known more 100 years, but the available was limited to a few specialty labs for research.

To answer your question- yes it is to new to be portrayed on the internet accurately


Most people don't have what it takes to get old
