Hi there,

I was wondering if anybody had some thoughts if taking GABA* supplements in conjunction with oestradiol valerate and CYR would assist with aspects of feminization, because I was told GABA enhances our bodies' ability to produce human growth hormones (HGH*). Teenage natal females have lots of this.

I shall ask my doctor when we next meet for his opinion.

Thanks, So'

* GABA = Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid
* Apparently taking HGH itself would be very dangerous leading to conditions like acromegaly (gigantism) and various cancers.

A little research may indicate this could help with pathogenesis of breath cancer in mice, so perhaps this discussion should be left for doctors ... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11144533

Actually my search with oestradiol Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid on Google produced lots of research, and my time for a reading week has begun :)

As far as I remember, GABA is a neurotransmitter and doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier in any great quantities..
