Nutrient (GABA) Improves
Reaction Time.
Natural brain chemical is key
When you are driving a car and need to
stop suddenly, milliseconds can make a dif-
ference. In this study, doctors tested GABA
(gamma-amino butyric acid) on the theory
that this naturally-occurring brain chemical
would speed decision making.
GABA plays a role in decision making by
reducing reaction times and helping the brain
learn and control repeated muscle move-
ments. In this study, 29 healthy young
women and one healthy young man took a
placebo or 800 mg of GABA powder mixed
in orange juice.
After 30 minutes, doctors gave participants
a task that required stopping a certain action
while almost simultaneously starting a new
and different action, testing the ability to
plan and control. Compared to placebo, the
GABA group took 25.4 percent less time to
stop an action and 22.8 percent less time to
change to a new action, suggesting GABA
may improve the ability to prioritize planned
actions, as when driving a car.

HMB Enhances Performance Of
Elite Rowers
HMB, or hydroxy methylbutyric acid,
comes from the essential amino acid leucine,
which is a popular sports supplement. In this
study, 16 elite male rowers, average age 20,
who were typically training 17 hours per
week, took a placebo or 1 gram of HMB
three times per day, in alternating 12-week
phases. The rowers took the HMB in
between two daily training sessions to meas-
ure changes in lung function and power out-
put.
After the 12-week HMB phase, lung capac-
ity increased 4 percent compared to a 1.5
percent decline during the placebo phase.
Overall lung health was also better during the
HMB phase, extending the time to reach
maximum lung oxygen capacity.
Power also increased at peak oxygen
capacity, rising 12.9 percent for HMB while
declining 1.8 percent for placebo. The HMB
group also lost an average 1.9 pounds in fat
mass compared to a gain of 1.7 pounds dur-
ing the placebo phase.

Which Athletes Need More
Vitamin D?
There is a link between higher levels of
body fat and lower levels of vitamin D in
non-athletes, and doctors wanted to see if
the same would hold true for athletes with
higher fat levels.
In the study, doctors measured circulating
levels of vitamin D in 42 college athletes
active in a variety of intercollegiate sports.
There was a link between lower circulating
levels of vitamin D and being taller, heavier,
or having larger body mass or fat mass, in
both men and women, suggesting large ath-
letes need more vitamin D.
