HelloPharmacist Scorecard of GABA 500 mg by Nutricost

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: vitamin B6 and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Vitamin B6 is an essential B vitamin that your body uses for brain development, immune function, and the creation of neurotransmitters and hormones.

GABA is an amino acid that acts as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain and nervous system. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, and silicon dioxide—which serve as the capsule shell and filler.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sideroblastic anemia — rated "Effective" (Vitamin B6) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Vitamin B6 deficiency — rated "Effective" (Vitamin B6) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy — rated "Effective" (Vitamin B6) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hyperhomocysteinemia — rated "Likely Effective" (Vitamin B6) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Vitamin B6) (Natural Medicines).

Vitamin B6 has established effectiveness for sideroblastic anemia (a blood disorder), vitamin B6 deficiency itself, and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. It is likely effective for high homocysteine levels (a heart-risk factor) and possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.

For GABA, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate its effectiveness. The data shows it has not been reliably studied for anxiety, ADHD, athletic performance, chronic bronchitis, or cerebral palsy.

If you're considering this product for one of those uses, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin B6 Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (gaba)

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin B6 is well tolerated at doses under 100 mg daily. Common side effects—abdominal pain, headache, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting—are mild.

However, high doses over time can cause nerve damage (sensory neuropathy), especially with daily doses over 1,000 mg or cumulative doses of 1,000 grams or more, though neuropathy can occur at lower doses too. For GABA, short-term use appears generally well tolerated, though long-term safety isn't well studied.

Common side effects may include drowsiness, nausea, muscle weakness, and mild throat irritation. Neither ingredient has enough safety data to recommend during breastfeeding; vitamin B6 in pregnancy is rated Likely Safe but also Possibly Unsafe (meaning the data is mixed), so discuss it with your doctor.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (gaba), Vitamin B6.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 425 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before starting if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives)—vitamin B6 and GABA both may add to their effect. Also double-check if you're on seizure medications (phenobarbital or phenytoin), amiodarone for heart rhythm, levodopa for Parkinson's disease, or any sedatives or CNS depressants.

Your doctor or pharmacist can review your full medication list against this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is mainly useful if you have a vitamin B6 deficiency or are managing pregnancy-related nausea under medical guidance. The GABA ingredient lacks strong evidence for its intended effects.

Before you start, check your blood pressure medications, seizure medications, heart rhythm medications, and any sedatives or sleep aids with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure the interactions won't be a problem for you.

Gamma Aminobutyric Acid2 drug types · 419 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking GABA with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Some clinical research shows that GABA can decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, GABA might have additive sedative effects when used in conjunction with CNS depressants. However, it is unclear if this concern is clinically relevant.
Endogenous GABA has well-established relaxant effects and GABA(A) receptors have an established physiological role in sleep. However, the effects of GABA supplements are unclear, as it is unknown whether exogenous GABA crosses the blood-brain barrier. Although there have been limited reports of drowsiness or tiredness with GABA supplements, these effects have not been widely reported in clinical studies. Additionally, intravenous GABA 0.1-1 mg/kg has been shown to induce anxiety in a dose-dependent manner.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Gamma Aminobutyric Acid full monograph & interactions

Vitamin B65 drug types · 210 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Phenobarbital (Luminal)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levodopa

Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.

GABA 500 mg by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does GABA 500 mg by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, GABA 500 mg has a known interaction with 425 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
GABA 500 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Vitamin B6 is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy, but the data also shows a Possibly Unsafe rating, so the picture is mixed. The safety information we hold for GABA in pregnancy is incomplete. Because of these gaps and the interactions this product carries, discuss it with your doctor before you take it during pregnancy—they can weigh the benefits and risks for your specific situation.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
Vitamin B6 is rated Likely Safe during breastfeeding at normal amounts. However, GABA does not have enough safety data, and we advise against it unless your doctor says otherwise. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're nursing.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people experience mild effects if any: abdominal pain, headache, heartburn, nausea, or drowsiness. High doses of vitamin B6 over time can damage nerves (sensory neuropathy). This product's 500 mg GABA dose is lower risk for serious side effects in the short term, but long-term safety isn't well studied.
Does GABA actually work for anxiety or sleep?
The evidence we have is insufficient to say whether GABA supplements work for anxiety, sleep, ADHD, or athletic performance. If you're looking for help with one of those issues, talk with your doctor about options with stronger evidence behind them.
Why does this product have vitamin B6 in it?
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor that helps GABA function in the nervous system, so it's often added to GABA supplements to support its activity. However, the interactions vitamin B6 carries are a real consideration if you take blood pressure or seizure medications.
