Stress-Relax Kava Kava is a high-quality extract standardized to contain 30% kavalactones, the key active constituents in kava. Kava ()Piper methysticum) is used in herbal medicine as a calmative and sleep aid. For centuries, South Pacific Islanders have consumed mashed kava roots as a drink at cultural, and social gatherings. Individuals drinking kava often report more restful sleep afterwards, and studies support kava’s calming properties.
Kavalactones are the primary active phytochemicals in kava root. They work through the body’s neurotransmitter pathways, enhancing receptor activity involved in sleep and relaxation.
Kava Kava provides the same benefits as kava tea, but in a convenient, standardized format. Each vegetarian capsule contains 250 mg of kava extract, providing 75 mg of kavalactones, to be taken twice daily. This is the same dose used in successful clinical studies and can be taken during the day or night.
This non-GMO formula is made using extraction methods that prioritize the quality and consistency of kava’s active compounds. Kava Kava is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and is a great supplement for anyone who has difficulty relaxing and wants herbal support to aid sleep, particularly during periods of stress.
