You see, minerals are incredibly important to neurotransmitter activity and efficiency. For example, without salt, our GABA production looses it’s efficiency. This is because GABAergic nerve terminals accumulate (GABA) by a SODIUM-dependent carrier mechanism (Nelson et al., 1982). Similar to the Serotonin Transporter (SERT), which is also sodium dependent.⁣⁣⁣
