Dave Asprey just released this supplement.
The idea seems interesting to increase the absorption rates for GABA. I've heard the absorption of regular GABA powder is only 8%, but I couldn't find a citation for that. I still feel a noticeable effect with normal GABA powder and not sure if this is necessary.
I've also heard of people having problems with phenibut addiction on this sub. Perhaps the increased effectiveness with the liposomal formula would make this potentially more addictive than regular phenibut (which is just a phenyl molecule away from GABA).
Does anyone know how the liposomal part of this supplement would change the effectiveness of phenibut? I haven't seen a supplement like this before. I've only heard of liposomal glutathione.

Except Phenibut is not naturally occuring so selling it as a dietary supplement violates FDA guidelines. All it takes is one naive person to take this too frequently and wind up in a hospital and then the FDA cracks down on Phenibut. I swear if this ends up on Dr. OZ...

This is a fucking horrible decision for them. Not that I think Dave gives a shit about anything but capitalizing on ignorance. I'm sure he'll make bank before the rest of the community feels the blowback from this.
