🧪 Formulation Notes

For occasional anxiety

Kava is made from the roots of a pepper family plant, Piper methysticum. Clinical studies indicate kava may help with occasional anxiety. Pacific Island people from New Guinea to Hawaii have used kava for centuries. Research has shown kava extracts contain pharmacologically active constituents known as kavalactones, which are thought to be responsible for a relaxed and calm state of mind.
