More info about Gamma butyrolactone :
Gamma butyrolactone (GBL) is a chemical compound that can be synthesized in laboratories but can also be found in unadulterated wines. On its own, gamma butyrolactone does not have any effects. Nevertheless, when it is absorbed into the blood, it is subjected to the action of lactonase enzymes. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of gamma butyrolactone into gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB).
As a prodrug of GHB, gamma butyrolactone is sometimes referred to as dehydrated GHB. As indicated by the term “dehydrated,” GBL does not contain as much water as GHB, and is therefore more fat-loving, or lipophilic. Compared with GHB, GBL is absorbed faster when consumed with food. This causes it to produce the desired effects faster. The duration of action of gamma butyrolactone, however, is also shorter than that of its counterpart.
The effects of gamma butyrolactone are based on its property as a prodrug of GHB. GHB is similar to the naturally produced neurotransmitter called gamma aminobutyrate (GABA). GABA is produced by the brain and acts on receptors to block nerve impulses, thereby earning the label “inhibitory” neurotransmitter. The effects of GABA include relaxation, sleep, an increased feeling of well-being, decreased anxiety and decreased muscle tone. Furthermore, GABA release is associated with increased levels of growth hormone.




Usage of Gamma butyrolactone :
It can be converted to GHB and can increase growth hormone levels, so gamma butyrolactone was widely marketed during the 1990s as a nutritional supplement. At low doses that range from 500-1,500 milligrams, the intake of GBL or GHB can promote relaxation.
