Amino acid (calm)
GABA : Capsules (Older Kids)
This is the capsules form of GABA. Oral GABA's effects are debated, since it's thought not to cross the blood-brain barrier well, but many parents and kids report subjective calm. Worth trying short-term.
Typical pediatric dose
Kids 6+: 100-250 mg as needed. With practitioner guidance.
Safety notes
Generally safe. Avoid combining with sedatives.
