I'm an autistic adult and used to use alcohol to try to reset after work or social meetings. It helps regulate my mind when I am overwhelmed. I am so grateful for Garba Sentia.

OUR STORY:
SENTIA Spirits founder Professor David 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 his more famous interventions in drug policy and the study of addiction.
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, increased sociability & improved mood—from the negative effects, by developing an alternative that exclusively targeted the brain’s GABA system. Professor Nutt founded SENTIA Spirits in 2020 to bring functional alcohol alternatives to adult social drinkers.

I wasn't impressed by the flavours
I wasn't impressed by the flavours. The Black reminded me of an old-fashioned Victorian cough mixture! The Gold tasted somewhat better but neither had a noticeable relaxing effect on me. Too late I discovered that people taking medication should not drink either!

Hi there Rory,
Thank you for your review of GABA Black and Gold. We are sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations.
Did you try it neat or with a mixer? We always recommend having SENTIA with a mixer due to its strong botanical taste.
There could be a number of factors influencing SENTIA's effect:
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.
Thank you for trying SENTIA.
Best wishes,
The SENTIA Team
Great idea, awful taste
The idea is great, but unfortunately I found the taste and aroma completely unpalatable (Sentia red). Bitter, with a soapy background aroma that completely put me off, even when mixed with lemonade. Just my personal opinion.

Just poured half a bottle down the sink
This was SO not for me that I just poured half the bottle that had been sitting in the fridge for months down the sink and put the bottle in the recycling. Pointless. And very expensive. I suspect any perception of cognitive uplift is a placebo effect - because at that price it surely MUST be doing something?
It's even more pointless, and even more expensive, than that zero alcohol gin!

Other individuals might experience a strong effect. See for instance the experience of a customer in the article below.
https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/wellness/gaba-sentia-teetotal-drinking-party-alcoholic-sober-david-nutt-b1235861.html
SENTIA therefore remains a very individual product when it comes to taste and effect as our body chemistries are all very different.
Thank you for trying SENTIA!

A relaxing feeling withSentia Red…but not a great taste
The relaxing feeling Sentia Red produces is nice but the taste is not good, even when a mixer is added.
Hopefully, taste will be improved over time as the product concept is great.

Hi there Rosaleen,
Thank you for your review of SENTIA Red.
We are sorry to hear that SENTIA's taste did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately it is not for everyone and an acquired taste due to its complex herbal properties.
We are soon launching new products which might be more palatable for you.
We are happy to hear that it had a relaxing effect.
Thank you for trying SENTIA.

Hmmm....
Like others here I became aware of Sentia spirits via the recent conversation between Dr Nutt and Dr Campbell. Intrigued, I decided to order a sample. You should definitely consider offering an "introductory pack" of all three variants, perhaps at an attractive price, to let new would-be users sample the full range. In any event I went for Red, and ordered a bottle which was delivered promptly, and wrapped in recyclable packaging. So how did it go?
Firstly, price. At £32 a bottle it isn't cheap, but might be compared to a designer gin which would be similarly priced. That said, much of the price of alcoholic drinks is tax so I'm assuming Sentia is still to reap the benefits of economies of scale.
Taste. I liked the taste of Red with a tonic mixer. It had echoes of mulled wine and Campari and was, in my view, a pleasant drink.
Did it "work"? Well... I'm not sure. I might be convinced that a slight softening of "the edge" has taken place, but I've witnessed similar effects at gatherings where an individual has been fooled into thinking they have had an alcoholic drink, when in fact they haven't. Placebo effect, in other words.
I'm slightly disappointed that there wasn't a more noticeable change in mood, comparable to a single G 'n T, say. I've read the caveats on individual responses, but if I drink a single G 'n T, I know I've drunk it, but with Red...? I'm not totally convinced about resetting receptors etc. From the same baseline, gin and Red produce noticeably different responses in me. Perhaps there is scope for a "full fat" or "Navy strength" Sentia product?
Edited to add.
Several people have reported longer restful sleep after drinking Sentia. Me? Woke up at one o'clock and didn't really get back to sleep again.
Further edit.
I've tried on a couple more occasions, but still nothing.... In desperation, I added a shot of gin to a Sentia/tonic mixer and that did the trick.
Perhaps a double-blind tasting might yield some quantitative insight. Happy to participate!

Hi there Ian,
Thank you for your review of SENTIA GABA Red.
We appreciate that SENTIA is a premium drink and on the pricey side and that we don't have samples available to try beforehand. We are working on some ready to drink products which might bridge the gap here.
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.
We are glad you enjoy the taste of SENTIA and aware that the effect is not the same in everyone as our GABA receptors respond differently to different substances. SENTIA will not have the same effect as alcohol as alcohol stimulates other receptors as well and does not have a ceiling effect. SENTIA is merely there to stimulate GABA to promote relaxation and sociability.
We have exciting new products coming which will be stronger in effect so watch this space.
Thank you for trying SENTIA!
Best wishes,
The SENTIA Customer Service Team

I am a huge fan of Sentia Spirits. I'm thrilled to have finally found a range of non-alcoholic drinks that not only taste fantastic but they DO also make you feel so relaxed and chilled too. I love both Gaba Gold and Gaba Red (haven't tried Gaba Black yet). I do like alcoholic drinks, but I really wanted to find a healthier alternative. I've been telling all my friends about Sentia!

5 Star Sentia
I am completely won over by the Sentia product range.
There is simply nothing else in the functional drinks market that comes near to the product.
Coupled with excellent customer service results in a truly 5 start experience.
If you haven’t tried the Sentia range yet, I would strongly advise to start now. I would be surprised if it doesn’t become a part of your life!

Each colour has its superpower
GABA Red is my favourite. It literally switches off overthinking, you feel relaxed but focused. Everybody is loving it. Tastes fabulous, flowery and misterious.
GABA Gold is the most similar to a beer, orangey and spicy, gives you a lighter head, makes you chatty and the bonus is: vivid dreams at night!
GABA Black taste is AMAZING, strong and edgy. Can't really feel an 'effect', but it is so good, even without mixing it. Perfect for a break during the day.

Thanks so much for your review of our three GABA drinks!
We agree, GABA Red is the off-switch and a great wind down at the end of the day. We are glad to hear everyone is loving it.
GABA Gold and vivid dreams at night! We are also a big fan of Gold at social gatherings at the office.
Pleased to hear you also like GABA Black's edgy full bodied taste which is a great daytime choice.
Here is to many more moments with SENTIA.

We have tried Gold and Red do the trick!
We have tried gold,red and black! the ones that have come up top is Gold for my husband and Red for me! He likes his Gold with crushed ice fresh orange, peach and melon juice with a piece of fresh fruit popped in! I like mine with Red, crushed ice, tonic and fresh fruit! They are lovely and refreshing at the end of the day and it is good to know they have no alcohol but make you feel relaxed!

I think what Sentia are doing is amazing, any products that help people to reduce alcohol intake are worth supporting. I didn't believe that Sentia would have any effect on me. I love the taste of all the flavours. I was also very pleasantly surprised to find that Sentia does make me feel more relaxed. Fantastic, keep up the good work.

Very impressed
I've tried sentia gold and it was great - a fusion of an uplift in mind, overall relaxation and an effortless but noticeable cognitive boost. It is subtle in comparison to alcohol, there is no intoxication, just elevation. I felt quite joyous and playful, definitely one to enjoy in company. It's a social enhancer for the teetotal! Alcohol drinkers would probably not notice it, suspect they would be looking for the wrong thing, but exactly what I want - a lift and relief without any associated loss from intoxication.
