Let’s cut through the noise.
Does GABA work immediately? Yes… But that’s not the right way to think about it. GABA is already in your brain, doing its job all the time. It helps you relax, slow down, and switch off. It doesn’t “kick in” because it never switched off in the first place. Where things get confusing is with GABA supplements. There’s little evidence that they effectively reach the brain, which is why so many people try them and feel… nothing.
So the real question is: How quickly can you feel a change in your GABA system?
With SENTIA, most people notice a shift within 5–10 minutes, lasting around 45–60 minutes. That’s because we’re not adding GABA. We’re enhancing what’s already there.
Unlocking Your Own GABA
We took our lead from alcohol — and then improved on it. Professor David Nutt, our founder, has spent decades studying how alcohol affects the brain. That relaxed, social feeling people enjoy? It comes from alcohol acting on the GABA system. The problem is everything that comes after. So, we built something better.
SENTIA uses botanicals selected for the compounds inside them: Some act as positive allosteric modulators — meaning they help your brain’s natural GABA work more effectively, rather than forcing it. Others help those compounds get absorbed and reach the brain.
Put simply: we don’t override your system. We work with it. That’s why the effect feels fast, but also natural.
