The molecular weight of GABA is 16500 and DMSO is able to carry mplecules of up 
to a molecular weight of 10000. So it may not be effective with GABA.

Subject: CS>DMSO and GABA 


I'm sorry to ask another non-CS related question. But so many of you are 
informed about a variety of health topics and substances.

It might help if I ask to just email me directly, if you wish to respond, so as 
to keep non-CS related posts to a minimum.

My question is about using DMSO to get pure GABA powder into the bloodstream 
and past the blood-brain barrier.  As I understand it, DMSO can pass the 
blood-brain barrier and take other sustances along with it.  Because GABA is 
speculated to have difficulty in permeating this barrier, would using DMSO 
help?  Topically or orally is my main question?
