Parch is DEEElicious! - Adaptogenic - Pinarita and Paloma - Brand Review -Zero Proof Happy Hour

Join Donovan and Rachel on their quest to find the best non-alcoholic beverages.
This is one of our first GABA adaptogenic drinks. It has all sorts of extra stuff to help you chill out.
From Cleveland Clinic: GABA is known for producing a calming effect. It’s thought to play a major role in controlling nerve cell hyperactivity associated with anxiety, stress and fear.
From WebMD: Ashwagandha contains chemicals that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling, lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system. Since ashwagandha is traditionally used as an adaptogen, it is used for many conditions related to stress. Adaptogens are believed to help the body resist physical and mental stress.
From NatureMade: L-Theanine - L-theanine is an amino acid naturally found in plant sources such as tea leaves and some mushrooms. L-theanine benefits include helping to support alertness, relaxation, and sleep. The appeal of L-theanine stems from its ability to support a state of alert relaxation, so it can calm you down without causing drowsiness.
We tried these lovely drinks and loved them.
