SENTIA GABA RED

Wow! I am extremely shocked at how much I enjoy this. I put approximately 2 shots of this in with some Seagrams zero sugar ginger ale. I poured it over fake ice ( I hate watered down beverages.) It’s relaxing and refreshing. There’s not a huge “buzz”, if you’re expecting that you’ll be disappointed. But if you want something relaxing, this is great. I tasted it by itself, and it wasn’t terrible, but it’s not something that I would want to drink alone, I don’t think. The flavor is good enough I think I would like it with just soda water. It’s got a little bit of a bite to it, especially with the ginger ale, which is nice. Love this, I got the bitter berry, and I’m looking forward to trying the others. Even if I’m not crazy about the others, I really, really like this. It also doesn’t make me tired. It’s just a nice relaxing chill. I didn’t know if I should believe the other reviews, but I am really liking this. It does have a very different flavor, not really like anything else I’ve tasted, but it’s great.

I tried two different versions. Black and Red. I had no issues with the flavors although they were not something I could imagine developing a craving for. Mix ‘em with some ginger beer or whatever you like and they are not vile nor exciting. Feel/effects? This is where the product disappoints. I was unable to detect *any* change at all. So it was. $40 bottle of slightly odd tasting fruit juice. Add the fact that the black version seemed to have some odd looking sludge/residue that stuck to the bottle inside and wasn’t visible right away until I poured enough of it out. It didn’t seem to be a contaminant just some dried juice? lol Everyone’s chemistry is different but this was not for me. I have tried other products that make similar claims and enjoyed them. Maybe when the magic molecule is approved I’ll give it another whirl. Great concept, just no delivery for me. The order sat in the Amazon queue for about 2 months before it shipped.

I was so excited when I found this relaxing botanical drink. I've been looking for an alternative to alcohol that can relax me, for years, and this drink has a beautiful blend of relaxing botanicals and whole foods ingredients. I love that it's sweetened with agave which makes it lower GI and it doesn't spike my blood sugar. I've noticed that all of the other relaxing alcohol alternative drinks are sweetened with nasty fake sugars which I can't tolerate, not this one though! You can tell they've taken their time with formulating this stuff, and it's developed by neuroscientists. Meaning, this stuff works! Don't listen to the other reviews saying it doesn't, they explicitly say on their website that if you drink a lot of alcohol all of the time the effect won't be as strong. I drink moderately, and I had two servings of this in one night and I felt so relaxed and like I had a few drinks. However, the next night I tried having another and started having heart rhythm issues- but I should note that I have seven different chronic health issues as well as POTs. So this drink probably isn't for me, sadly. But I did want to leave a review stating that this drink is great, and it's better than the rest. It's also pretty affordable because the serving size is 25 ml or .87 oz. We Americans are lucky they're even selling it here because on their website they won't even ship to the US anymore.

It isn't the best tasting, but if it's mixed with flavored seltzer, it tastes really good. It really does give a calming effect when you have a few drinks which helps with anxiety about quitting drinking. I've been 16 days without drinking so far because of this product. The only thing is, it's expensive!

Sentia GABA drinks are marketed as giving you that “two drink” feeling without any alcohol (or the unpleasant side effects thereof). I did not expect it to perfectly imitate the sensation of having a glass of wine or two, but I did expect *some* sensation - and there was none. While GABA red doesn’t taste particularly bad (tart cherry mixed with potpourri would be my description) it has no discernible physical or mental sensation. In short, this is just an expensive, wonky-tasting herbal tea.

I had been reading about the creation of this drink for a long time. was so glad amazon carried it. unfortunately, had zero effect on my. no sense of euphoria, calmness, relaxation, or whatever it claims to do. way too bad. Still looking!

It breaks my heart to say this because Dr. Nutt's idea of curbing the harms caused by alcohol with this product resonate heavily with me, but.... this stuff tastes pretty bad. Feels great, definitely achieves the effect desired, but it must be mixed with something. As someone who enjoys a good straight bourbon, mixing something just doesn't jive with me. Three stars simply because the GABA activity is clear but the taste really leaves something to be desired.

This is an interesting product. I think it could kick off a lot of different brands seeking to capture the market of people who want to be social but not get inebriated. The product arrived well packed and undamaged. I read the label and saw that the serving size was .87 of an ounce, so I measured it out and added it to a fruit flavored, zero calorie drink. I noticed a spicy background taste of the herbs in the product. A pleasant taste. I don't think I would drink it straight. The effect was mild but noticeable. I felt relaxed. I could see this as a way to unwind after a tough day at the office. I think it does what is says it does without alcohol, which is the whole point. I haven't tried the other flavors yet but may do so. The product is a good alternative to alcohol at social gatherings or alone to relax.

I love this so much! I tried the GABA Red and just placed an order to try GABA Gold. I want to try them all! Ok, so the first sip I took was warm and neat. I did not like the initial taste. I found it very herbal. But as the taste evolved, I found I was interested in trying some more. I wasn’t sure what kind of mixer to use, but I have a lot of tonic water on hand, so I tried that, over ice. It’s my new favorite! It’s not sweet, at all. So lemonade would be the best mixer if you want it sweeter, imo. I’m not a big drinker, but I was noticing that the frequency of my “one glass of wine” every so often, was shifting to almost every night. I didn’t want that. I am delighted to say I find this beverage is easily replacing my one glass of wine! No, there is no buzz. You won’t feel it in your body. But what it does is subtly shift my energy into a more relaxed state where I don’t even think about wanting to pour myself a glass of wine. It’s like I just forget. So, I’m happy with that. And like I said, I want to try all of these. What is absolutely sad about it, is the price. It really stings. The bottle did not last that long, even with a reasonably meager pour. Hopefully the cost can come down, without compromising the product. It’s really excellent.

Marketing trick. No effect at all. Money waste

Rubbish, way overpriced and didn't do anything!

I've been drinking Sentia Red for several months now. It took some getting used to as I wasn't sure about the taste at first. Previously, I used to drink wine every day. Not a lot, typically just one glass to relax at the end of a long work day. It was a daily pleasure. When I went for a health check-up, my GP said that I was in good health but I should try to give my liver a rest by having three non-alcohol days a week. So I started drinking Sentia. It definitely needs a mixer. I experimented with lots of different ones. I think the mixers that are orangy and spicey taste best with it. It also tastes good mixed with some ready made canned mocktails although some are a little sweet for my tastes. I add ice and sometime pomegranate seeds. I now really enjoy my Sentia cocktails on my non-alcohol days. It is very calming as a drink. I always use Sentia Red as Sentia Black peps you up rather than relaxes you. I've tried other drinks that are designed to have a calming effect but none of them work for me as well as Sentia. I am really happy that I discovered Sentia.

Taste nice with tonic but not had any effect as stated by others.
