5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for Kava, August 9, 2009

Being new to Kava, I have recently tried a few different methods like using an instant drink mix, or extracting the kava myself using traditional methods, all of which I found to be a hassle and a little pricey. I had avoided extract capsules at first because of reports of companies using non-root materials in their capsules (which cause liver damage) and of using extraction methods that negate the effects. This brand had received good reviews however, and they only use kava root, so I took a chance, and I have to say that I am pleased. The effect is very relaxing, promotes good mood, and relieves anxiety. If taken before bed, it is a very mild sleep aid. Each capsule contains 75mg of kavalactones, so the dosage (3 capsules) is slightly less than what is found in a bowl of kava. But, as kava beverages are notoriously bad tasting, these capsules have easily become my favorite source for kava. I definitely recommend this product as healthier alternative to some of the more popular stress-relieving products in our culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxed Alertness, March 21, 2010

To the point, this stuff works at relaxing the muscles and the mind. I've tried a couple of other Kava brands, but this one worked the best. I see no reason to switch at this point. Where I used to rely on alcohol, a nice glass of wine or two to relax at night, I didn't enjoy drinking it. This allows me to destress and calm my mind, as well as my body after a long, difficult day of teaching and meetings. Some people may experience headaches, but I don't. Unlike alcohol which affects brain function, Kava allows me to do simply relax and remain alert. I highly recommend this product for anyone who is seeking relaxation and a calming of the mind, without hangovers or side effects. However, everyone may be affected differently by using this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice mellow buzz, February 28, 2010

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this product, but decided to give it a try anyway. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! About 1/2 hour after popping a few capsules, a gentle happy calm descends over you. Lasts longer than alcohol, and no hangover. Feels similar to xanax. Check with your doc first if you have any health issues or take any meds on a regular basis (goes without saying for any supplement) but once you get the thumbs up, kick back and enjoy! I would not recommend driving a car for a few hours after taking this.
