Description
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a role in motor control, vision, and anxiety. Research has shown that GABA has a positive impact on cortisol levels and may be helpful initiating sleep. In one study, GABA levels in people with insomnia were almost 30% lower than in people without the sleep disorder. GABA binds to benzodiazepine receptors resulting in a safe anxiolytic effect. It helps slow down feelings of fear and stress when neurons become over excited by reducing the activity of the neurons that it binds to.
CanPrev GABA 500 delivers a clinically proven 500mg dose of GABA. This naturally-occurring amino acid is produced by our brain to help temporarily promote relaxation. GABA works like a “brake” in our brain and central nervous system by slowing down activity. This leaves you with a relaxing, cooling, sense of calm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CanPrev and are its supplements Health Canada approved?
CanPrev is a Canadian natural health supplement brand founded in 2005 by Tanya Salituro -- the name stands for Canadian + Preventive. All products are Health Canada licensed and manufactured at site-licensed, government-approved Canadian facilities, with each batch independently laboratory tested for potency, purity, and safety before release. The brand offers 445+ formulations across therapeutic categories including magnesium, amino acids, vitamin D, hormonal support, and women's health, distributed in 3,400+ Canadian retail locations and through naturopathic practitioners. In February 2025, CanPrev was acquired by Apotex, further expanding its distribution infrastructure.
How is CanPrev different from other Canadian supplement brands?
CanPrev's distinguishing feature is practitioner co-formulation: roughly 25% of the company team are licensed health practitioners -- naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, and herbalists -- meaning products are formulated with clinical input from the start, not adapted for retail after development. The brand consistently selects more bioavailable nutrient forms: methylcobalamin over cyanocobalamin for B12, magnesium bisglycinate over magnesium oxide, active folate (5-MTHF) over folic acid -- at therapeutic doses, and formulates without fillers or binders. This distinguishes CanPrev from mainstream supplement brands that use lower-cost, less-absorbed nutrient forms to reduce per-unit manufacturing costs.
