GABA for Sleep
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is a calming neurotransmitter your brain uses to wind down, slow thoughts, and prepare for sleep. It plays a key role in switching off the brain's "alert mode" and encouraging deep relaxation.
While DoeZ™ doesn't contain addiitonally added GABA, it is made entirely from New Zealand deer milk — a rich source of milk proteins that, when digested, may help support the body’s own GABA pathways and calming processes.
Why GABA Matters for Sleep
GABA is essential for helping the brain:
-
Quiet mental chatter and overstimulation
-
Transition into a restful state
-
Reduce nervous system tension
-
Support deeper, more continuous sleep
When GABA signalling is low, it’s harder to switch off at night or stay asleep.
Why DoeZ May Support GABA Activity
Research shows that certain milk proteins and peptides, particularly those from casein and whey, may support GABA receptor activity or help generate GABA-like effects during digestion.
Deer milk, the sole ingredient in DoeZ, is:
-
High in A2-type casein and whey proteins, similar to goat and human milk
-
Naturally rich in amino acids like glutamic acid, a precursor to GABA
-
Structurally similar to milks already shown to support GABA production
While GABA in deer milk hasn't yet been directly quantified in research, its protein makeup suggests it may support similar calming pathways in the body.
