Phenibut is a synthetic compound structurally similar to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Originally developed in Russia in the 1960s, it is valued for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), sedative, and calming effects.
Phenibut primarily works by binding to GABA receptors in the brain. As a GABA-B receptor agonist, it enhances GABAergic neurotransmission, reducing neuronal excitability and promoting relaxation.
