Introduction of Phenibut:
Also known as “4-Amino-3-Phenylbutyric Acid,” sold under the brand names Anvifen, Fenibut, and Noofen among others is a central nervous system depressant with anxiolytic effects. It was synthesized in the 1960s in Russia where it is licensed for use in anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other health issues. Phenibut is a non-prescription pharmaceutical that is actually a GABA molecule with the addition of a phenyl group. Russian researchers discovered that by changing GABA into 4-Amino-3-Phenylbutyric Acid, it was able to cross more easily into the nervous system & across the blood-brain barrier. Since it is a GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, derivative, Phenibut increases GABA levels.
