Gamma-Butyrolactone
Overview
Gamma-Butyrolactone is a (controversial) synthetic compound that functions as a precursor for the endogenous production of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB).
Health Benefits of Gamma Butyrolactone
All of the health benefits associated with Gamma-Butyrolactone are attributable to its conversion within the body to Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB). The health benefits of Gamma-Butyrolactone are therefore almost identical to those of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB).
Nervous System
Gamma-Hydroxybutyrolactone may be more suitable as a Sleep aid than GHB as it has a longer duration of action - GHB is active for an average of three hours and individuals using GHB for Sleep enhancement often awaken in the middle of the night when GHB’s duration of action has expired. This “problem” may not occur with Gamma-Butyrolactone use.
