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

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 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.

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.

The SENTIA Spirits GABA blend is the result of extensive bioprospecting, investigative, and pharmacological research. Selected ingredients are combined, proportioned, and extracted for optimal absorption, bioavailability (the proportion of a substance entering the bloodstream when entering the body) and efficacy.

Whilst there is GABA in SENTIA Spirits (because GABA is found in all plants), GABA is not an active ingredient, because orally ingested GABA is not known to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). Instead, the SENTIA Spirits GABA blend enhances the effectiveness of the GABA naturally produced in the brain.

Full of mystery

I really enjoy both Red and Black, slice of lime, ice and tonic.

Sip and enjoy, don’t go searching for a similar effect of alcohol (searching for things is generally the wrong mind set) simply relax and enjoy.

Hi there Roger, Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with our SENTIA GABA Red and Black. We're thrilled that you enjoy both flavors and we couldn't agree more - sipping and enjoying is the best way to go. We hope you continue to relax and enjoy our products. Cheers!

Pleasantly surprised..

Purchased this with some trepidation, with quite a few products claiming to something similar... This product 100% works, it really does create a soothing chill. I drank it with a tonic water, I'm sure you could mix with other mixers too - lemonade etc. I like strong tasting drinks, being a single malt lover, and these flavours did not disappoint, challenging enough to make the drink fun and worthwhile. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review is the cost, they are damned expensive. I guess once they become a little more mainstream the price will come down a little? Anyway, fully recommend if you have the means to try them.

Hi there Wesley!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a fab review. We're thrilled to hear that you were pleasantly surprised by our SENTIA GABA Red and Black drinks. We're happy to hear that they lived up to your expectations and provided a soothing chill. We appreciate that SENTIA sell at premium prices. Alcohol is cheap to mass produce, making a bottle of SENTIA Spirits is a complex process. Our ingredients contain high quality functional plant botanicals such as Ashwagandha, Tulsi, Sage, Nigerian Ginger root and more sourced from fair-trade suppliers around the world. SENTIA Spirits cost more to put on-shelf, than a premium alcohol spirit does.
Thank you for trying SENTIA!
Best wishes,
The SENTIA Team

Taste is fine& I drank no alcohol that evening. However, I got a headache for 24 hours afterwards which I later found out was a known side effect of consuming GABA

Hi there,

Thank you for your review of SENTIA. We are sorry to hear that you experienced a headache after drinking SENTIA. It is important to note that SENTIA does not contain GABA. SENTIA is made up of a concentrated blend of botanicals which stimulates the natural GABA receptors in the brain to increase relaxation and promote sociability. Our customer service representative will be in touch privately with some questions about your experience.
Best wishes,
The SENTIA Team

Disappointed :o(

When I found out about Sentia I was incredibly excited…..a non alcoholic that gives you a buzz without the comedown…I’m having that.
I stopped drinking 6 months ago. As a menopausal lady I couldn’t cope with the way alcohol left me feeling.
I ordered the red and the black. Neither had any effect on me whatsoever…,,zilch….so guess it doesn’t work for everyone.
Someone mentioned in a previous review about Sentias lack of effectiveness when taking certain medications, perhaps Sentia should mention any contraindications with certain medications to avoid people getting their hopes up, and wasting their money.
Top marks for the product presentation but it’s very expensive.
By the way the black tastes vile, like a cough medicine you were forced to take as a kid.

Dear Rachel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that our product did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it must have been for you, especially after being excited about trying our product.

The effect SENTIA has or not is very individual and could be because of certain factors, one of which could be the use of SSRI's. We do, however, recommend in the caution section on our website and our label not to consume SENTIA if on any regular prescription medication.

Thank you for trying SENTIA.

Best wishes,

Joan
