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.
