Kava Liquid Capsules

The Wellness way uses single-sourced Kava to produce its supplements.

Kava (Piper methysticum), often called kava kava, is an herbal plant native to the South Pacific area of Polynesia, Micronesia, and Macronesia. The Wellness Way receives its Kava from the island of Vanuatu. Kava root is well studied around the world and has been used as a medicinal herb for its anxiolytic, parasympathomimetic, sedative, antispasmodic, mood enhancing, anti-depressant and analgesic capabilities. 

Kava root contains resin containing 6-styryl-4-methoxy-alpha-pyrone derivatives, known as kava pyrones or kava lactones (5% to 9%, depending on geographical location), including kavain (or kawain), dihydrokavain (DHK), methysticin, dihydromethysticin (DHM), yangonin and desmethoxyyangonin.  It also contains flavonoids (flavokavains). These constituents have been shown to help:

• Eases anxiety

• Induces deep, restful sleep

• Facilitates cognitive function

• Supports feelings of well being

• Muscle relaxant

• Influences GABA receptors

• Stimulates dopamine receptors

• Supports healthy immune response especially in relation to cancer
