Sentia's non alcoholic spirits bring together plant chemistry with different jobs. Some botanicals have GABA-related research. Others are studied as adaptogens or nootropics, or support flavour and the wider blend. Explore all 28 ingredients below, or start with the science behind the system that connects them.
Different plants. Different jobs. Sentia does not build functional drinks by stacking fashionable ingredients. The blends start with function: what useful compounds a plant contains, how the body can make use of them and how they contribute to the wider GABA-enhancing blend.
Alcohol's familiar early relaxing effect relies on its interaction with the GABA system. That is why GABA is the scientific starting point for Sentia.
How alcohol affects GABA →Adaptogens are botanicals studied for how the body responds to periods of increased physical or mental demand. Sentia uses several, but the label alone is never the reason. We look at the chemistry inside each plant and the role it can play within the wider neurobotanical blend.

Nootropics are substances studied in relation to cognitive functions such as memory, attention and mental performance. In Sentia, that label is context, not the formula. What matters is the chemistry inside the plant and how it contributes to the wider blend.

Not every botanical in Sentia is an active neurobotanical. Some support flavour, aroma, bitterness, balance or the wider formulation. They are part of the complete drink, but they should not be presented as if every ingredient has the same role.
