Ingredient type: Amino acid (non-protein amino acid) used as a bulk functional ingredient for food, dietary supplement, and related formulation programs.
GABA by Sunheat is a bulk Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) ingredient supplied for B2B manufacturing and formulation use. GABA is commonly described as a four-carbon, non-protein amino acid (IUPAC: 4-aminobutanoic acid) and is widely traded as a white crystalline/powder raw material in the global ingredients market.
In finished products, GABA is often included in relaxation/“unwind” positioning, night-time routines, and other wellness-oriented formulations where brands choose GABA as a recognizable amino acid input (final claims and wording depend on the market and labeling rules). From a technical standpoint, formulators typically value GABA for clean taste/odor profiles (program-dependent), straightforward blending into powders/capsules/tablets, and compatibility in a wide range of manufacturing systems when supported by appropriate specifications and batch COA.
Applications
- Dietary supplements: capsules, tablets, powder blends, stick packs
- Functional foods & beverages: dry mixes and beverage premixes where amino acids are included
- Sports nutrition / wellness blends: combination formulas with amino acids and botanicals (positioning depends on market rules)
- R&D / OEM development: prototype and scale-up programs requiring GABA as a specified input
