My Mom recently started taking this product by advice of her doctor she has been seeing for accupuncture. My Mom has been under alot of stress being the primary caregiver of my Dad. She takes it twice a day. So far it seems to have helped reduce the stress she has been feeling with NO side effects. Glad to find something non prescription and Natural.

My sister has been using Kava as an herbal supplement for the past 2 years. She swears by it and I certainly have noticed her being able to manage her stress better than before. I have heard of potential dangers, but this may be because they consume much more than 200mg in some parts of the world and that can lead to potential liver problems. If stress is overwhelming that can be extremely damaging to your health and you might want to give this a try.

Always in pursuit of natural remedies to reduce stress, I did try this, used it for a month. The results were disappointingly minimal, but maybe I am just that high anxiety, I know it helps others. Tried it in capsules, in teas too, did not taste too good in teas, so I would say OK for others, not for me
Was this Review Helpful? Yes No Didn't help me much.by Dee
Kava-Kava was one of many natural supplements I tried in my quest for relief from stress and insomnia. In doses of 200-300 mg, I could barely tell I had taken anything. It gave me a very mild relaxed feeling, but not nearly enough to make me sleep.
The first negative thing I noticed was that the effects didn't seem to stick with me. After a week or so, it just wasn't doing anything at all anymore.
Then I started hearing about the potential for severe liver toxicity, and that it had even been banned in several countries. That was enough to convince me that the risks exceeded the benefits.
My opinion is that there are a lot of other more effective and safe natural calming supplements.
Was this Review Helpful? Yes No Much Safer than a Lot of Prescription Drugsby Lori Ann Hull
I'm familiar with a lot of the studies that have been done concerning the side effects of the use of Kava-Kava over an extended period of time. However, if you check with your Family Doctor first and carefully monitor your use, you will see results.
I have used it off and on for years when the inevitable stress that life deals us becomes a bit too much to handle. I prefer Kava-Kava to the idea of taking prescription anti-anxiety medications. Again, check with your Doctor and make sure it is suitable for you.

I just found out that liver toxicity only happens when the manufacturer uses other parts of the plant other than the root - which is why I would suggest using a high quality grade kava and making sure it contains kavalactones...many companies are vague in their descriptions, so it's best to go with the ones that use a % and the words root + kavalactones.
Hope this helps - seems to me natrol lists a %, so that' good for me. Have not tried it yet, but might if I can find out if they use ONLY THE ROOT...does anyone else know about this?

I just started taking this product and so far I have not noticed a reduction in my stress level. I'm wondering if it needs time to build up in my body before I can begin to feel the effects. I chose this product because it is all natural and for those worried about toxicity. Do not drink alcohol while using this product.
