Marketing trick. No effect at all. Money waste

Don’t waste your money. It doesn’t relax at all and has absolutely no effect

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.

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 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'll start by saying we are all different so my experience with this drink might not be yours. Taste - hard to explain as I've not tasted anything like it before, sort of medicinal, botanical, quite rich, I mixed it with lemonade, I quite liked the taste, had a depth to it. Mimic alcohol - I felt no affects at all with it, it definately didn't mimic the effects of alcohol, not at all, did it relax me? The first time I tried it I thought it did but I think I wanted it to relax me, subsequent times it had no effect at all on me, no warm fuzzy alcohol feeling, didn't effect my mood or my brain. Overall - I wouldn't have it again, if it was a lot cheaper and I mean a lot cheaper, I would buy it as I quite liked the taste but for what it promises - to mimic the effects of alcohol - I would not buy this again.

It's taken me a while to really appreciate this drink. On my 3rd bottle over several months and at first I was probably comparing it to alcohol and looking for the red wine effect. This is so much more refined and being alcohol free there are none of the many horrible negative effects. Very tasty with fever free tonic water. Gives a lovely mellow buzz and is satisfying with one or max 2 drinks. Expensive but as it's not too more'ish lasts for about 10 or 12 drinks. If I was to try and describe via comparison it's like switching from Cadbury's Chocolate to raw cacao organic truffles. Delicious and definitely a powerful mood altering drink. I am a fan. ❤️
