Extra-Strength Kava Kava Root is an extract of Kava Kava, which is said to have originated on the archipelago of Vanuata (which means 'Land of the Eternal'). It has been domesticated throughout Oceania (Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia) and it comes from places referred to by many of us as Paradise, including Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga and Hawaii (where it is called Awa).

• Supports Normal Relaxation from Tension Brought on by Daily Stress*
• Promotes Muscular and Nerve Relaxation*
• Encourages a Sense of Emotional Well Being*

Kava was used by eclectic physicians and physiomedical doctors practicing in the middle of the 19th century in North America as a genitourinary sedative and for pain associated with gonorrhea and other STD's. Kava was also used to treat a decreased flow in the glomeruli and for nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting). The native people of Oceania shared these uses as well as its use as a topical antiseptic and oral anesthetic, and to relieve the muscular pain from Asthma and T.B. as well as whooping cough, headaches, stomach ache, and tooth pain.*

Gaia Herbs produces Kava Kava Liquid Phyto-Caps and Liquid Extracts from lateral rhizomes and root-stock of the Borogu variety, which is one of the most potent strains of Kava on record and is ecologically cultivated by the native tribes of Vanuatu. Gaia Herbs uses only USP grade grain alcohol and water to extract its Kava. Resins and other fixed principles in plants are often extracted using methanol, butanol, acetone and hexane and spray dried into what is called a powdered extract. Gaia Herbs tests all of its products for heavy metal contamination and operates its Certified Organic processing facility under cGMP regulations. Gaia’s Vegetarian Liquid Phyto-Caps are easy to digest, assimilate and offer rapid absorption for a quick response. Each Liquid Filled Vegetrarian Capsule contains the equivalent of 1,250 mg or more than 3 capsules of crude herb.

Gaia Herbs produces a small line of extra strength extracts for those wishing to take higher concentrations of products in a smaller dose. These products are two times concentrated over our regular liquid extracts and are prepared according to the same extraction standards and validation criteria.

CAUTION: US FDA advises that a potential risk of rare, but severe, liver injury may be associated with kava-containing dietary supplements. Ask a healthcare professional before use if you have or have had liver problems, frequently use alcoholic beverages, or are taking any medication. Stop use and see a doctor if you develop symptoms that may signal liver problems, including jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) and brown urine. Other nonspecific symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, light-colored stools, unexplained tiredness, weakness, stomach or abdominalpain, and loss of appetite. Not for use by persons under 18 years of age, or by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Not for use with alcoholic beverages. Excessive use, or use with products that cause drowsiness, may impair your ability to operate a vehicle or heavy equipment. Use only as directed label.

Technical Comments
The exact mechanism of action on the central nervous system is unknown. One recent study found that Kava pyrones mediate effects on GABA-A receptors particularly in the hippocampus and amygdala. It is an approved medicine in many European countries for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is likely that many chemicals in Kava contribute to the full effects of the herbal medicine.
