A while ago I was at a party in Scotland and I was given a bottle of Sentia Gaba Red. I opened it and mixed myself some drinks with tonic water. After having a few, I noticed a very pleasant feeling: I felt more upbeat, I became a little less shy, and I talked more than usual. What was curious is that the next day I had absolutely no trace of a hangover.
At first I was sceptical about this new invention, but I have to admit it does what it promises. It’s not exactly cheap, but I recommend it.
If you like liquorice, I suggest the Black version; if you prefer red fruits, the Red is ideal; and if you enjoy citrus aromas, go for the Gold.
Sentia Gaba Spirits is a different and interesting proposal for those who want to relax, socialise, or simply switch off in a mindful way: a 0% alcohol drink made with natural botanicals to gently activate the brain’s GABA system, which is responsible for calm, mental balance, and relaxed sociability. Behind the project is Professor David Nutt, a world expert in neuropsychopharmacology, who co-founded Gaba Labs to offer adults a healthy alternative that allows them to enjoy the ritual of toasting without hangovers or negative effects.
Currently, there is a special offer: you can get a pack with all three versions (Gold 50 cl, Red 50 cl, and Black 50 cl) for €87.96. Sentia works best when taken slowly, like a small ritual, and perhaps that is where much of its charm lies. If you are open to a different experience, I think it is worth giving it a try.
