What’s Kava Extract?
Kava, also known as ʻAwa in Hawaii, a shrub plant native to the South Pacific islands and is scientifically identified as Piper methysticum. The root of the plant has been used traditionally in Pacific Island cultures for ceremonial and medicinal purposes.
Kava extract is typically made from the root and contains active compounds called kavalactones, which are responsible for its effects. It is widely used in nutritional supplements and herbal preparations in Europe and America. In Japan, kava is used as a nutritional supplement and health product to reduce mental stress, stabilize mental balance and improve sleep. Currently, kava root extract is primarily used medically as a good antidepressant because it can regulate neurotransmitters, reduce stress, relieve anxiety, overcome depression, relax muscles, eliminate fatigue, relieve insomnia, and other exert unexpected effects.
