Sentia Spirits are non-alcoholic beverages that tout similar social benefits to traditional alcoholic beverages–but without the negative side effects or hangover. The brainchild of pharmacology professor David Nutt, Sentia Spirits contain a set of secret ingredients that work on the GABA-A receptors in the brain, helping the drinker feel comfortable and relaxed–whether they're looking for a chatty night out or a cozy night in.
Sentia Spirits are particularly appealing to young and middle-aged health-conscious consumers looking for working alternatives to alcoholic beverages. The beverages are made up of a nootropic botanical blend that acts organically on the brain and body to increase sociability. This blend is packaged in a fruity flavor that contains notes of cardamom, blackberry, and hibiscus. Because Sentia Spirits are non-alcoholic, they can be thoughtfully enjoyed without the worry of the legal limitations of intoxication.
