The number one question we
get from customers is asking what kava side effects
there might be. We are happy to report that the only
side effects we have encountered are an occasional
increase in energy, which is also why kava kava is also
known as being an aphrodisiac.

Makaira's
Blog for even more info)
In larger amounts, although not recommended by the FDA,
kava can actually, instead of having relaxing effects,
can have effects similar to drinking a couple cups of
coffee, and may stimulate your system rather than relax
it. For some, this can be quite a pleasant
energy-boosting side effect, but for others, this is not
nice.
The reports of liver damaged have been proven false, and
we have used this plant in our family history as far
back as we can trace it, and there has never been any
complications whatsoever with our kava consumption. Our
only kava side effects have been relaxation and creating
an atmosphere in our minds that is conducive to long
ceremonies, and of telling stories. If that’s sounds
pleasant to you, then you may have met your perfect
herbal supplement.
It is important to note that we here at Kona Kava Farm
only use the root of the plant, where there are no
harmful components. This is another reason why we have
never had any reported side effects from our products;
we honor the plant and do not kill it to harvest it,
leaving the stems and leaves to regenerate for another
generation. |
