WHAT IS GABA?

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a compound found in nearly all life on earth

What does it do?

GABA has many roles in the human body. In the brain GABA functions as a neurotransmitter.

How it works

GABA modulates 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.

more about neuropsychopharmacologist Professor david nutt

Professor Nutt has been a pioneering force in psychopharmacology for over thirty years. He has published more then 500 original research papers and 34 books on a wealth of topics in psychiatry, from his early work in sleep studies to interventions on drug policy and the study psychedelics as therapeutic medicines.

As an expert on the ways alcohol interacts with the body and brain, Professor Nutt realised that he could isolate the mechanism we associate with the desirable effects of alcohol—relaxation providing increased sociability & improved mood—from the negative effects, by developing an alternative that exclusively targeted the brain’s GABA system, and SENTIA Spirits were born.

Don’t just take our word for it...

Socially Awkward

I don't drink and have been looking for something to help me relax and feel like I can socialise easier (I'm very socially awkward and struggle to make small talk). I bought all 3 bottles and am very pleasantly surprised. The black one tastes a bit like Worcester sauce by itself but mixed with cola and lime juice it's yum. It also works well with coffee as an espresso martini. I was chatty and energetic after a couple of drinks and just generally felt good. The gold one is pretty nice, tastes a bit like ginger shots, good with tonic. It made me feel good and again more chatty and relaxed. Tonight I've tried the red one with tonic, not so sure on the flavour of this so I'll have to experiment with mixers, tastes a bit like mulled wine without any sugar. It has made me feel super relaxed though and helped to calm a racing mind.

Great Sleep

it has done wonders for my sleep! As soon as I started drinking it in the evenings (about the time I'd have a gin and tonic) I noticed that my sleep was much less restless. I have a sleep program on my watch which tells me that my sleeping heart rate with Sentia is usually about 10bpm less than my sedentary rate (the rates were the same before) and I am getting good deep sleep. The drink itself is a bit like an alcohol free vermouth or Dubonnet so it makes a functional replacement for the G&T and one I look forward to. Cheers to Sentia!

This won’t make you dance the night away

I'd been really stressed out as I'm only 38 days sober and learning new things at work so had a couple of 30ml servings with diet coke. It's a really nice chilled out feeling and I slept, properly with a restful sleep. This won't make you dance the night away but it will make you feel ok with the world, which is exactly what the doctor ordered! I can order a bottle of this now safe in the knowledge I never have to feel I'm missing out without the beer. Professor Nutt, this is an excellent product, I highly recommend it. Genius.
