Overview: Phenibut is a solution for a calming nootropic that helps eliminate stress and anxiety. Developed in Russia, Phenibut is a derivative of the neurotransmitter GABA. The added phenyl group allows Phenibut to pass through the blood-brain barrier and lowers levels of stress and anxiety. Phenibut works as GABA in the brain.

GABA works by opening up potassium channels in a given neuron which slows down the process that the targeted neuron is responsible for. Phenibut is mostly taken before bed and contributes to a very well-rounded and calming experience.

Common Dosage: 250 mg once daily
