概要 This double-blind study tested GABA and tyrosine supplementation, separately and together, in 48 healthy adults completing a task-switching measure of cognitive flexibility. Participants receiving GABA alone or GABA plus tyrosine performed worse than placebo, whereas tyrosine alone produced no reliable improvement. Tyrosine did not offset the negative effect of GABA, providing no evidence of an interaction between the supplements. The findings suggest that acute oral GABA can impair flexible control independently of tyrosine and caution against assuming that over-the-counter neurotransmitter precursors or supplements necessarily enhance executive performance.
