What is kava?
Kava (Piper methysticum) is a shrub in the pepper family that grows on islands across the South Pacific, including Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga. Islanders have long prepared a drink from its rhizome for ceremonies and social gatherings. The compounds of interest in the plant are called kavalactones. This extract is made from the rhizome and delivers 75 mg of kavalactones per capsule.

Why a standardized kava extract?
The kavalactone content of raw kava varies with the cultivar and the part of the plant used. Standardizing an extract fixes that figure, so every capsule contains the same stated amount.
Dosage: 2 capsules daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 6 months.
Cautions: Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you suffer from liver disease or epilepsy. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if using conventional sedative-hypnotics (or natural health products with similar effects), anxiolytics, MAO inhibitors, and other psychopharmacological agents, levodopa (or other drugs for Parkinson’s disease), or anti-platelet agents. Consumption with alcohol or anti-convulsants is not recommended. Excessive use, or use with products that cause drowsiness, may impair your ability to operate vehicle or use heavy machinery.

Worked Really Well
Surprised by the calming effect. Take it at night, but seems to last into the next day, without the sedating effect of prescription sleep or anxiety meds.
