GABA Red, Black, & Gold have a strong botanical flavour, as they are made from pure plant matter and include natural sediment. Some of our drinkers find they enjoy theirs on the rocks, but SENTIA Spirits are made to be mixed. Red is rich with a herbal, berry taste and we recommend this with tonic for a delicious and dry drink.

Black is earthy and spicy, with a hint of black pepper. We recommend this with a splash of soda or a ginger ale. For those with a sweet tooth, we recommend mixing with sweet mixers like cola or in a sweet cocktail.  Gold is warm, zesty with a citrus taste. We recommend mixing with an elderflower tonic or kombucha or with a lime soda.

GABA (or gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a compound found in nearly all life on earth. Whilst GABA has many roles in the human body, in the brain it functions as a neurotransmitter.

GABA acts as a natural brake on brain and central nervous system activity, causing feelings of relaxation and calmness, opening the door to a sense of ease in social situations and all the positive benefits these moments can bring.

GABA Spirits are designed to increase the effectiveness of the calming effects GABA provides.

GABA Spirits do not raise your GABA levels, nor do they contain GABA itself as an active ingredient.

We do not use GABA as an active ingredient because ingested GABA cannot pass from your bloodstream through what is known as the blood brain barrier (BBB), and then on into your brain. Instead, GABA Spirits contain active ingredients that can pass the BBB and modulate the effectiveness of the GABA naturally produced by your brain.

SENTIA Spirits contain an all-natural “GABA blend” that has two major components. “GABA enhancers,” which increase the effectiveness of your brain’s natural GABA and “bio-enhancers,” which help absorption of GABA enhancers from your gut, into your bloodstream, and then across the blood brain barrier.
