MEDIA REVIEWS

Within about ten minutes, I was surprised to find that I started feeling something. It wasn’t comparable to getting pissed, more like having a half pint or smoking a small joint.

"It’s delicious,” she told Stylist. “I wasn’t expecting it to give me that tipsy feeling, but I’m really surprised."

I woke up the next morning feeling entirely hangover-free, which would not have been the case had I swapped those Sentia measures for vodka.

I felt light, floozy, like after a yoga class, after 45 minutes I was feeling a bit more energized by the berry-like icy drink, in the mood for a low-key chat.

FAQ

SENTIA is the world’s 1st GABA Spirit. Designed by world leading scientists, SENTIA contains a patent-pending blend of ingredients known to enhance GABA, an experience renowned for relaxation, sociability.

Sentia is made through a unique, proprietary series of production methods that preserve the plants’ functional compounds and nutrients, giving you more of what the plants have to offer.

From tests, it seems people tend to feel some effects within 5-10min, which can last 45-60min.

Absolutely no refined sugar. We use a little agave and fruit concentrates. These healthier, high quality, minimally processed 'sources of sweet' have only a fraction of the calories in an alcoholic spirit.

SENTIA contains all natural food and food supplement ingredients sourced from farmers around the world.

SENTIA and the GABA blend is made with GRAS (generally regarded as safe) ingredients.

As SENTIA is classified a ‘food supplement’, it is recommended you do not consume this product if you are on medication, pregnant or breastfeeding, do not exceed 100ml in any 24 hour period and keep out of reach of children.

Being drunk and hangovers are specifically related to alcohol consumption. As there is no alcohol in SENTIA, there is no ‘drunk’, or ‘hangover’.

Not the nicest, not really functional either

Black is ... OK with ginger beer and Red is ... drinkable with lemonade.

However, the claims on the website don't seem to match up. I have drunk various different herbal teas for calm or sleep aid over the years and I have found that passionflower and valarian root work best.

I read the response to the review below mine (paraphrased to "Designed for function not flavour") and if it did work, I would be OK with that statement. However I do not feel even remotely affected. Additionally you may want to look at your advertising - I only found out when reading through your website that Black appears to be a coffee substitute, after I had bought through a social media ad. My bad, but misleading nontheless.

Both Red and Black have an OVERPOWERING flavour of Tulsi, the black masked with something peppery and the red a fairly unpleasent bitterness. The descriptions of the flavours on the website are (to my taste) highly inaccurate, for all that I appreciate that taste is subjective.

I cannot recommend anything at all to do with this product, which is a shame because I really wanted to, not only because of the cost but because of the whole ethos. Unfortunately most of the black went down the drain

Dear valued customer,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our SENTIA GABA Red and Black drinks. We appreciate your honest feedback and apologize that our product did not meet your expectations.

We understand that taste is subjective and we are sorry that the flavors did not suit your palate. Our aim is to provide a functional and natural alternative to traditional energy drinks, and we take all feedback seriously in order to improve our products.

We apologize for any confusion regarding the function of the Black drink. We have taken note of your comments and will make sure to review our advertising to ensure it is clear and accurate.

We are committed to providing high-quality products and we are disappointed to hear that you were not satisfied with the effects of our drinks. We would be happy to discuss this further with you and find a solution that works for you.

Thank you again for your review and we hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you in the future.

Best regards,

Joan

Actually Horrible Flavours

I’m not a fussy eater and enjoy most flavours, but these feel and taste like drinking thick liquid full of spices that don’t belong in a drink. Absolutely horrible, would not recommend. Red is slightly less offensive than black, but yikes. Praying that they’ll be more palatable if I mix them into other drinks.

Hi there,

Thanks very much for your honest review.

1. SENTIA Spirits are GABA enhancing functional drinks, designed for adult social drinkers. SENTIA Spirits are best paired with your favourite mixer.

2. SENTIA Spirits are first and foremost designed for function. Our primary goal is enhancing GABA for relaxation and improved sociability. GABAergic (GABA enhancing) plants are difficult to work with, they are often bitter and unpalatable.

3. We know that the raw flavour of our GABA Blend is not for everyone, which is why we always suggest pairing with a mixer of your choice first!

4. This might seem counter-intuitive, but consider, pure ethanol is very bitter and unpalatable, its why humans brew alcoholic drinks in so many ways.

5. Much like SENTIA Spirits, many alcoholic spirits are an acquired taste. I’m not a fan of the flavour of XXX for example, but it works well in XXX cocktail!

6. Neat SENTIA Spirits are not for everyone, and we strongly recommend you experiment with your favourite tonic, soda, or alternative mixer.

7. GABA Black is immensely popular with Ginger Beer (like a Moscow Mule) or Cola and lime (like a Cuba Libre)

8. Red works well with lemon and simple syrup (Much like a Whiskey sour) or with tonic and a slice of lemon (like a G&T)

9. A minority of our customers do enjoy SENTIA Spirits neat over ice, or as a hot toddy last thing at night

10. We are now seeing enthusiasts develop a growing range of exciting functional cocktails. Some are designed to mimic old favourites like our GABA Red Negroni, Or GABA Black Espresso Martini, others are new creations, such as the GABA Red “Angry Amethyst' or GABA Black “Caramel Crush”.

11. We have also just launched GABA Gold which has a more citrusy taste and might be more palatable to some.

Best wishes,

Seems to help modulate ADHD symptoms

Ive grown to like both types, esp the dark one with ginger ale.
Hv also been using Sentia for some time to help when the distractive mode of the DMN is particularly active. Seems to help. Beside

Excellent!

The service from Sentia is excellent and I always look forward to my orders arriving. The Gaba Spirit is such a good alternative to alcohol, I would definitely recommend. It's especially nice with tonic or lemonade ;)

Not sure

I recently bought sentia red and black. And although I find the taste quite pleasant, I don't feel any benefit from drinking it. I feel like I've just bought a very expensive cordial

Dear Nicola,

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you liked the taste of SENTIA GABA Red and Black, however we are sorry that you lacked in experiencing the effect. This can be for a number of reasons:

Individual variances: Your GABA system is very much your own, and individual chemistry varies from person to person, so the experience of SENTIA will vary too.

Alcohol in system: Regular alcohol drinkers may have a high tolerance to GABA release, which will moderate the SENTIA experience. Studies suggest that you can reset your tolerance to GABA release by refraining from drinking for 2 to 3 weeks.

SSRI’s: (Selective Serotonin Inhibitors) anti-psychotics, tranquillisers and some epileptic medications may inhibit the effects of SENTIA.

Expectations: SENTIA is not designed to get you “drunk”, but offer a more refined experience. All feelings are of course very subjective, and will vary from person to person.

Context: There is a great deal of scientific evidence indicating that drinking (or talking any mind altering substance) alone creates a very different effect from doing so socially. The science suggests the same will be true with SENTIA.

We have just launched SENTIA Gold which you might experience differently.

Best wishes,

SENTIA Team
