In Japan, GABA is a well-known ingredient, similar to omega-3 in the West. GABA’s mood-enhancing benefits are already being exploited in other food categories, such as cookies and diet products. Given the burgeoning development in beauty foods and cosmeceuticals, there is an opportunity for GABA to tap into the realm of well-being and relaxation, not just its anti-wrinkle claims.
