About





            

                
Kava (Piper methysticum) contains kavalactones that demonstrate anxiolytic and muscle-relaxant properties through modulation of GABA-A receptors and voltage-gated sodium channels. Clinical trials support its use for anxiety reduction, which may indirectly improve sleep onset. Consult your healthcare provider regarding hepatotoxicity concerns.

            

        

        

        
        
        

            

  
How It Works





            

                
Kavalactones (kavain, methysticin) enhance GABA-A receptor binding; block voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels; reduce norepinephrine reuptake for anxiolysis.
