The secret to chewables you'll want to eat while golfing - GABA, phosphatidylserine, BCAA, and citric acid

An 18-hole game of golf involves walking 5 to 8 km and requires players to maintain concentration for long periods of time.
In the second half of the game, players tend to tire easily, and it is common for them to make noticeable mistakes and lose concentration.
What is attracting attention is "chewable tablets that can be easily eaten while playing."
Here are three attractive ingredients to include in these chewable tablets.

① GABA - Relieves tension and relaxes

GABA is a substance naturally found in the brain that has a calming effect.
Recently, it has become popular in chocolates and supplements as an ingredient that "relieves stress" and "improves sleep quality."

Golf is a sport that is not only a matter of technique, but also a big part of the mental game.
The tension before the shot and how calm you can remain under pressure will affect your score.
GABA is the perfect ingredient to help relieve excessive tension.

It has also been reported to have the effect of lowering high blood pressure, making it attractive for middle-aged and older golfers as a "healthy ingredient that allows you to play with peace of mind."
The strength of GABA is that it supports relaxation and health at the same time.

② Phosphatidylserine (PS) - Supports concentration and switching ability

Although the name may sound a little unfamiliar, phosphatidylserine (PS) is an important component in the creation of brain cells.
It is widely known overseas as a "memory support supplement" and is attracting attention in the fields of learning and sports.

When you exercise or are stressed, your body releases a stress hormone called cortisol.
PS has the ability to suppress this secretion, and is expected to have the effect of "calming the mind and maintaining concentration."
Studies using it on athletes have shown that it can help improve focus and mood.

Furthermore, it is expected to be effective in combating forgetfulness that comes with aging, making it attractive to middle-aged and older golfers as an ingredient that helps maintain mental clarity.
This ingredient is perfect for golf, as it helps maintain focus while playing and also acts as an anti-aging agent.

3. BCAA + Citric Acid - Building a fatigue-resistant body

The last thing I'd like to introduce is the "ingredients that support the body."

BCAA (valine, leucine, isoleucine) is a component that produces energy in muscles and helps prevent muscle fatigue during exercise.
It reduces muscle breakdown and supports a stable swing until the very end.

On the other hand, citric acid is a sour component found in lemons and other foods, which helps the body's energy metabolism and reduces fatigue by preventing the accumulation of lactic acid.
It is also often used in sports drinks, and its appeal is that it combines a refreshing taste with anti-fatigue properties.

Taking these two together supports both muscle fatigue and metabolic fatigue.
This is a recommended combination for golfers who tend to tire easily in the latter half of their game.

Summary

● GABA: Relax and resist pressure
● PS: Stay focused and clear your mind
● BCAA + Citric Acid: Prevent fatigue and play your best until the very end

This chewable tablet, which combines these three ingredients, has great appeal as a "golf-specific supplement that supports both the mind and body."
It will be a great help for golfers who are looking to maintain stability even in the latter stages of the game.
