What is Kava Kava Extract?
Kava is a beverage or extract that is made from Piper methysticum, a plant native to the western Pacific islands. The name "kava" comes from the Polynesian word "awa," which means bitter. In the South Pacific, kava is a popular social drink, similar to alcohol in Western societies.
Kava kava is an herbal remedy that some people use to relieve stress and anxiety and boost sleep. This plant extract has a calming, euphoric effect that some people compare with that of alcohol.
What is Kavalactone?
Kavalactones are a class of lactone compounds found in the kava shrub. Kavalactones are under research for potential to have various psychotropic effects, including anxiolytic and sedative/hypnotic activities.
Health Benefits of Kava Kava Extract .
Beyond its recreational and ceremonial use, kava is commonly used in alternative medicine as a natural anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) drug. It may also improve sleep in people with insomnia, often with fewer side effects than pharmaceutical or over-the-counter sleep aids.
The compounds in kava root believed to offer mood-altering properties are called kavalactones. There are 18 different kavalactones identified thus far. Little research has been done to pinpoint their exact mechanisms of action or evaluate which compounds are more active than others.
Anxiety
The current body of evidence suggests that kava may aid in the treatment of anxiety, although there remains contention as to how effective a drug it really is.
Insomnia
Most of the research devoted to the use of kava for insomnia is limited to animal studies. It is believed that a specific type of kavalactone, called kevain, may provide the drug's sedative effect.
Kava Kava Extract Usage
Kava can be taken in tea, capsule, powder or liquid form.
With the exception of kava tea, these products are made from a concentrated mixture that's prepared by extracting kavalactones from the root of the plant with ethanol or acetone
