Kava Kava Extract (250mg) Overview
Kava is a herb in the pepper family that has been used as a ceremonial herb by indigenous peoples in the south Pacific. Kava is a potent relaxant and mood-regulator and kava supplements are now used by people for help in coping with stress, poor mood, irritability and insomnia. But kava products are very inconsistent, so first and foremost you definitely want to go with a name brand like NOW. Secondly, you want a Kava kava extract not just powdered kava in a capsule or tablet. Kava extracts are prepared from raw kava kava herb in a process that raises and makes consistent ('standardizes') the level of the crucial active ingredients, kavalactones. NOW Kava kava extract has a minimum of 30% kavalactones, or about 75 mg per capsule. That is plenty to let you experience the full effects of kava. Kava is a great way to help take the edge off a stressful day or situation and can help promote relaxation in other circumstances too. Just be careful about using kava before driving or performing any dangerous tasks since it is a pretty powerful relaxant.
