In vertebrates, GABA is a brain neurotransmitter that inhibits synapses. GABA binds to membrane receptors before and after synapses, opening ion channels and causing overpolarization, which then reduces neural signal transmission and relieves anxiety, panic, and insomnia. GABAergic neurons like PV neurons regulate 30-80Hz gamma oscillations, influencing working memory and information integration. In the prefrontal cortex, GABAergic neurons suppress irrelevant signal inputs, enhancing attentional focus and task switching ability.
Besides, GABAergic neurons act on the hypothalamus. They stimulate GHRH secretion, inhibit SST, and promote GH release from the pituitary. GH, mediated by IGF-1, can directly stimulate muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle catabolism, and prevent muscle atrophy.
GABA, a crucial compound, is widespread in plants (e.g. legumes, ginseng seeds, rhizomes, tissue fluids) and animals (predominantly in nerve tissue, 0.1 - 0.6 mg/g in brain tissue). Aging and chronic stress deplete or disrupt GABA synthesis, leading to deficiency. As dietary GABA is limited, supplements may be necessary. When GABA is deficient, it may lead to increased anxiety, heightened susceptibility to panic attacks, chronic insomnia, disrupted growth hormone regulation (which may affect growth and development in children and muscle mass maintenance in adults), and potential impairment of the skin's protective function.

GABA (γ-Aminobutyric Acid) is a key inhibitory neurotransmitter naturally present in neural tissues. It participates in multiple metabolic processes and is widely recognized for its roles in supporting stress relief, emotional balance, sleep quality, growth, skin condition, cognitive function, muscle development in sports nutrition, weight management, and blood pressure regulation.
As a popular functional ingredient in the food and dietary supplement industry, Rigaba™ is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
① Food products (beverages, tablet candies, baked goods, etc.);
② Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powders, oral liquids, etc.);
③ Pet products (calming pet snacks).
Rigaba™ is available in multiple core specifications to meet different formulation and application requirements:
Rigaba™ GABA 99% Crystals (Standard): suitable for tablets, hard capsules, liquids, gummies, and powders;
Rigaba™ GABA 99% Crystals (≤40 mesh): suitable for powder formulations;
Rigaba™ GABA 20% Powder: suitable for soft capsules, liquids, and powders;
Rigaba™ Sustained-Release GABA: suitable for tablets, designed to address the rapid absorption and metabolism of GABA.
The mainstream production methods for GABA include microbial fermentation and chemical synthesis.
All Rigaba™ products are manufactured using microbial fermentation with Lactobacillus hilgardii. Compared with chemical synthesis, this process offers significant advantages:
① Regulatory compliance: The official notification for GABA as a novel food ingredient specifies Lactobacillus hilgardii as the approved fermentation strain;
② Efficacy validation: Clinical studies conducted both domestically and internationally predominantly use GABA produced via Lactobacillus hilgardii fermentation;
③ Safety assurance: No organic solvents are used, with no chemical residues; safety evaluations of GABA are also based on Lactobacillus hilgardii-fermented sources;
④ Marketing advantages: Biotechnologically produced, nature-identical ingredient.
Rigaba™ is supported by five authorized Chinese invention patents and three PCT patents. Among them, 'A γ-Aminobutyric Acid Crystal Form and Its Preparation Method' has been awarded the China Patent Excellence Award.
Rigaba™ is the only company that has participated twice in the formulation of GABA industry standards. With over 13 years of experience in GABA production, Richen was also among the first companies in China to obtain a GABA production license.
Rigaba™ has been evaluated through zebrafish model studies conducted by the Shandong Academy of Sciences, demonstrating its role in supporting sleep improvement.
Rigaba™ is produced under a full-process quality control system, ensuring consistent quality from raw materials to finished products:
① Raw materials: Food-grade, naturally sourced Lactobacillus hilgardii with strain identification reports available;
② Manufacturing: Production facilities certified under ISO 9001, ISO 22000, and FSSC 22000;
③ Finished products: Third-party testing combined with in-house batch testing, covering purity, impurities, and microbiological parameters.
Yes. We provide free technical support to all customers to facilitate smooth application of Rigaba™:
① Application consulting: Guidance on dosage, solubility, stability, and pH compatibility in different formulations;
② Formulation support: Reference formulations and innovative product concepts;
③ Troubleshooting: Technical solutions for issues such as discoloration or moisture absorption during production;
④ Documentation sharing: Access to industry standards, application cases, and market trend insights to support product positioning.
