OUR STORY:
SENTIA Spirits founder Professor David Nutt has been a pioneering force in psychopharmacology for over thirty years. He has published more than 500 original research papers and 34 books on a wealth of topics in psychiatry—from his early work in sleep studies to his better-known interventions in drug policy and the study of addiction.
As an expert on how alcohol interacts with the body and brain, Professor Nutt realized he could isolate the mechanism we associate with alcohol’s desirable effects—relaxation, increased sociability, and improved mood—from the harmful effects, by developing an alternative that exclusively targets the brain’s GABA system. Professor Nutt founded SENTIA Spirits in 2020 to bring functional alcohol alternatives to adult social drinkers.

We like your product but will have to re-think whether we order in the future due to the very poor delivery experience.
I ordered on 04/05.
You replied that by downloading the SHOP app, I could track my delivery. So, I downloaded the app. At no time during the delivery process could the app tell me any more than the package had been sent. Zero tracking or estimated delivery date.
The package was not delivered until yesterday 04/16.
When delivered, two sides of the box were smashed in and torn through. It is something of a miracle that the bottles were not broken.

Hi there,
Thank you for your review.
We are glad that you enjoyed our GABA Gold drink, however it's just a shame you didn't experience the desired effect.
There could be a number of reasons for this:
, there could be a number of reasons for this:
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,
Joan
impressed
Good stuff. I expected I'd choke it down, then still want a real drink. But it tastes good and delivers what it promises. Minimal adjustment needed.
Shipping took 10 days tho'.

Hi there Evan,
Thank you so much for your review!
We are glad to hear that you enjoy our drinks. Apologies for the delayed shipping. We only ship from one warehouse in the US at the moment which is why some shipments might take longer than others.

Great for helping a small business owner relax
As a small business owner who works from home, it can be easy to let work sneak into the evening. Sentia has become a part of my way of signaling to my body that it's time to relax. Love it!

Hi there Robert,
Thank you for your review.
We appreciate that our products are expensive. 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,

Never received order
Never received order. Contacted shipping company and they admitted that they had the package and it was damaged. They never contacted me or you.
I sent an email to you to reshoot my order ASAP today.
