How to use Kava Kava

Consider the type of Kava Kava product to be used to ensure it meets quality standards - use products that contain at least 30% of the active ingredient Kavalactones. Many herbalists recommend freeze-dried Kava Kava as the freeze-drying process captures all of the beneficial properties, without adding any potentially harmful substances.



The freeze-dried capsule will also contain a condensed version of the Kava Kava root and consequently will have a higher potency. Another key with Kava Kava use is to ensure dosages suggested are followed and excessive amounts are not consumed, due to potential liver toxicity - under no circumstances should more than the suggested dose be taken. A way to ensure excessive dosages aren't inadvertently taken is to take Kava Kava intermittently (one month on one month off for example).
