This sounds pretty exciting, if the effects are on par with what's being shared here. My only concern is the phenibut, a drug usually available under prescription in Russia (but sold in a somewhat gray area) is a key ingredient. Phenibut helps with social anxiety and can give a sense of euphoria, which makes sense why it's in the Kin formula. However, doses as much as a few hundred mg can be addictive with regular consumption.

@michaelibrooks this is a very important point. Phenibut, citicholine, 5-thp and caffeine have strong effects at high doses. The beauty of drinks is the regulated consumption. A Kin drink has less than 150mg of Phenibut and we guide people to drink less than four in a day. We know how hard it is to make something that’s safe. That’s why we listen to our customers and constantly improve.

@michaelibrooks @caublestone "The beauty of drinks is the regulated consumption." <- this has historically played out well with all kinds of things, alcohol, sugar, pain killers...

Mingling in the ingredients is 'Phenibut' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ph...), a notably euphoric GABAergic sedative-anxiolytic not dissimilar to alcohol, but with only decades (vs millennia) of history of human consumption. It's a controlled substance in Australia, a prescription drug in Russia, and a widely used recreational drug everywhere else. Like any drug or medication, but especially of this category, it has known side-effects, a limited dose-response curve/overdose limit, cross-interactions with other drugs, and chronic consumption produces tolerance, dependance/addiction, and withdrawal. For these fairly mundane reasons, it seems like it would be appropriate for the product/website to be more upfront about the inclusion of Phenibut as an ingredient, and display *how much* it contains, so customers can practice safe/careful consumption.

@o5skuumh_ What’s up Linnea! You’ll be happy to learn that Kin no longer contains phenibut. We reformulated back in February with the goal of lowering caffeine and realized that without it the GABA could stand on its own. We agree that phenibut has notoriously been abused and hope that someone someday finds a way to incorporate this ingredient in a way the FDA can find a use for so folks can experience the benefits while knowing understanding the risks involved. We’re lucky we were able to share our original version with thousands of users with no adverse reaction but the next maker may not be so careful in their curation of the stack. Good looking out!

It’s been a lot of fun to grab some mixers and garnishes and make my own Kin creations. Cant wait to get my next shipment and see what comes next for Kin!

Pros:

It’s a fun alcohol alternative that actually makes you feel a buzz, without impacting your health. Unique and well rounded botanical taste.

Cons:

It’s great as it is.

@j_d I ordered all the kin products. The cans and both bottles. I’m a recovering alcoholic. When I drink kin products, I feel inebriated. And that scares me. So I looked up their ingredient list and see that addictive ingredients are included. I can’t risk my family, career and sobriety. Relapsing could cost me everything. I dumped all the cans and the 2 bottles down the drain and filled up my recycling bin. I think kin needs to be up front with the potentially addictive qualities of their beverages - even if they only contain small amounts of the addictive ingredients. They clearly don’t understand addiction. This could ruin the future and deeply impact the families of alcoholics in recovery who are unsuspecting and risk relapse by drinking kin.

@stacysmom Hi Stacy, thanks for sharing your story here. I know personally that recovery is a journey that takes up precious energy and a discernment that leaves no margin for error. I think tossing the product was a great idea if that was what was right for you in the moment and I'm happy to send you a refund. Your bliss is my business and I have absolutely zero interest in collecting hard earned money if you didn't love your Kin experience. I am curious which ingredients you're referring to when you say addictive? Kin contains 50 mg of caffeine per serving in High Rhode and Kin Spritz. This is the only known ingredient to cause withdrawals and adverse reaction in excess (more than 300 mg depending on the person). I'd love to be able to help, thank you!

Don’t waste your money on kin-just grab some orange juice-you will feel just as good with that!
