The global e-sports industry is booming, with over 589 million fans and projected revenues of USD 4.8 billion by 2025. But behind the excitement, gamers face intense pressure—just like professional athletes. This mental stress can make it hard to stay focused and perform at their best. That’s where PharmaGABA® comes in.
A new clinical study published in Nutrients confirms that PharmaGABA®, a naturally fermented form of GABA, can help improve mental focus and clarity during high-stress gaming. The study was conducted by Pharma Foods International in collaboration with leading Japanese universities.
In the study, participants took 200 mg of GABA from PharmaGABA® and then performed high-pressure gaming tasks using the Mobalytics Proving Ground™ (MPG) platform. MPG is a training tool used to evaluate player performance in League of Legends (LoL)—a globally popular title within the MOBA genre, known for its fast-paced and cognitively demanding gameplay.
The results were clear: PharmaGABA® reduced mental fatigue and confusion, two common challenges for gamers during long sessions. Importantly, the improved mental state translated directly into better game performance. This is the first scientific study to show that GABA can boost both mental clarity and actual results in an e-sports setting.
Backed by science, PharmaGABA® is a safe, natural ingredient that supports focus, calm, and mental resilience—not just for gamers, but also for students, professionals, and anyone facing mentally demanding tasks.
