Kava
Piper methysticum
Kava (Piper methysticum) is a revered plant from the Pacific Islands with over 3,000 years of traditional use. Its active compounds — kavalactones — promote calm, ease anxiety, relax muscles, and support restful sleep without clouding mental clarity.
Kava products are not currently available. We're rebuilding our catalog as our new manufacturing facility in New York comes online. This guide is here for reference, and we'll bring these products back soon. In the meantime, explore what's available now.
Key Benefits
Anxiety Relief
Kavalactones interact with GABA receptors in the brain, producing anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects comparable to some prescription medications — without the risk of physical dependence. Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated kava's effectiveness for generalized anxiety.
Sleep Support
Kava promotes relaxation that naturally transitions into restful sleep. Unlike synthetic sleep aids, it does not disrupt sleep architecture (REM cycles). Users often report falling asleep faster and waking feeling more refreshed.
Muscle Relaxation
The antispasmodic properties of kavalactones help relieve muscle tension and physical stress. This makes kava particularly popular among those who carry stress in their body — tight shoulders, clenched jaw, or general physical tension.
Mental Clarity & Focus
Unlike alcohol or benzodiazepines, kava relaxes the body while maintaining — and sometimes enhancing — mental clarity. This unique quality has made it a social beverage in Pacific Island cultures, where it is consumed during important discussions and ceremonies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dosing Guide
Kava dosing depends on kavalactone content and individual sensitivity. Start conservatively and increase as needed.
Standard Dose
Take 1 to 2 gummies for a mild, calming effect. This is suitable for daily use and first-time kava users. Effects are gentle and promote relaxation without drowsiness.
Moderate Dose
Take 3 to 5 gummies for noticeable anxiety relief and muscle relaxation. This range is popular for evening use or stressful situations.
Strong Dose
Experienced users may take up to 8 gummies for deeper relaxation and sleep support. Do not exceed 1,000mg of kavalactones per day from all sources.
