How Does Social Blend™ Actually Work?
Social Blend™ is a proprietary nootropic blend designed to enhance mood, promote relaxation, and relieve stress without causing drowsiness or hangovers. Combining natural ingredients like L-Theanine, Ashwagandha, and Vitamin B1, Social Blend™ optimises serotonin levels to provide a healthier, more enjoyable alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages.
The Science Behind Serotonin Optimization
Serotonin, a monoamine neurotransmitter, plays a crucial role in mood regulation. Techniques for measuring serotonin in the central nervous system (CNS) include micro-dialysis and voltammetry, each with unique advantages in terms of biosensor size, temporal/spatial resolution, and measurement capabilities. Nonpharmacologic methods to increase serotonin include physical contact, exposure to bright light, and gratitude practices, which have been shown to enhance feelings of well-being and happiness. These approaches leverage serotonin's ability to create states of contentment and relaxation, making them valuable for both mental health and overall well-being.
Key Ingredients
L-Theanine, an amino acid found in tea leaves, is known for its ability to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. It works by increasing the levels of GABA, dopamine, and serotonin in the brain, which helps to reduce stress and improve mood. Plant-based nootropics offer a range of health benefits, including enhanced memory, increased cognitive performance, mood enhancement, and improved brain health. For instance, Ashwagandha is known for its stress-reducing properties and ability to improve cognitive function by reducing anxiety and enhancing attention and memory. Together, these ingredients in Social Blend™ provide a synergistic effect, optimising serotonin levels and promoting a sense of well-being without the negative side effects associated with alcohol consumption.
Studies on L-Theanine and Ashwagandha
L-Theanine, a non-protein amino acid found in tea leaves, has been extensively studied for its neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. Research indicates that L-Theanine promotes relaxation without drowsiness by increasing alpha brain waves and reducing beta and theta waves, which helps in stress reduction and mood improvement. It also modulates neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, contributing to its calming effects. Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb, has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve cognitive function, and enhance physical performance through its GABA mimetic properties and cortisol-lowering effects. When combined, these ingredients offer synergistic benefits, enhancing stress relief, cognitive function, and overall mental well-being. Read complete list of studies here.
Replacing Alcohol Benefits
Social Blend™ helps replace alcohol by providing a similar sensory and social experience without the negative side effects. The proprietary blend of nootropic ingredients, including L-Theanine, Ashwagandha, and Vitamin B1, promotes relaxation, mood enhancement, and stress relief, mimicking the calming effects of alcohol without causing drowsiness or hangovers. This makes it an attractive alternative for those seeking the social benefits of drinking without the health risks associated with alcohol consumption. Additionally, the low-calorie, vegan, and low-sugar profile of Social Blend™ caters to health-conscious consumers, further supporting its role as a viable alcohol substitute

How is 0.5% ABV alcohol-free?
Yes, we know it's confusing. Isn't 0.5% ABV still alcoholic? Officially, 0.5% ABV is classified as Dealcoholised.
- In fact, most things we consume daily have more than 0.5% ABV
- Burger Rolls - 1.2% ABV
- Orange Juice - 0.5% ABV
- Ripe Banana - 0.5% ABV
After more than 2 years of research, we've found that the 0.5% ABV from our natural brewing process significantly increases both flavour and mouthfeel - without spiking your blood alcohol level (BAC).
Is it really gluten-free?
Yes, IMPOSSIBREW® Enhanced Lager is gluten-free. Even though it contains wheat and barley, our beers have been third-party tested to contain less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of gluten, which meets the criteria to be listed as, and labeled gluten-free.
Does it have alcohol tax?
No. While it is true that our beers don't contain alcohol, and thus don't incur UK alcohol duty, we'd like to highlight some factors here that might be helpful in reflecting the value we provide.
- One-to-One Brewing Process: At IMPOSSIBREW, we take pride in our unique brewing techniques. Unlike other non-alcoholic beers, our products are never diluted, watered-down, or have their alcohol content removed - and some even dilute their alcoholic beers up to 5x. This means that our brewing process involves the same level of craftsmanship, time, and resources as a traditional craft beer, resulting in comparable production costs.
- Effective Nootropics: In our commitment to creating the most relaxing non-alcoholic beers, we utilise only the highest quality nootropics as our active ingredients, in safe and effectives dosages. At current alcohol tax rates for a 5% ABV beer, the cost of our nootropics more than double that. Instead of contributing the amounts as tax, why not have it contribute to the product quality itself?
- Small Scale Brewing: Currently, we operate on a smaller scale, which makes us less competitive than large, commercial brewers (often +10,000x our brewing size). As a growing business, we are passionate about our mission to create unique, high-quality non-alcoholic experiences, and we truly appreciate your support. As we continue to grow and expand our production capabilities, we look forward to passing on even more savings to our valued community!
At IMPOSSIBREW, we prioritise offering our customers an enhanced, premium, non-alcoholic beer experience by combining innovative brewing techniques, quality active nootropic ingredients, and award-winning taste. While our pricing may differ from other non-alcoholic competitors, we believe that the value proposition and unique experience our beers provide are well worth it.
At the end of the day, tasting is believing. So give it a try and let us know what you think - risk-free with our IMPOSSIBREW® Guarantee.
