The U.S.A. “NOW” brand of Kava (also called the “social plant”) is an example of bad herbal product. It’s another sample of a company that uses too many types of fillers diluting its effectiveness, organically grown, wild, nor, can you tell on the label if this Kava is regulated to the correct age to be at the peak of effectiveness. The loss of appetite will accrue naturally without being a stimulate; however their cautions are misleading saying, if you have an appetite loss discontinue?

In Vanuatu, drinking strong kava is normally followed by a hot meal or tea. Eating after kava often makes it "kick," causing the effects to be felt for a second or third time. A common bislama phrase to hear in a nakamal is "Kava i kik?" or "Do you feel the kava?" if good kava is used…

Hawaii’s Kava is not aged correctly either; read the book Kava by Maggie Greenwood and Robinson PH.D. is paperback and probably on Amazon.
JUST WATCH THE FIRST PART, TENDS TO BE TOO LONG, BUT VERY EDUCATIONAL. I went through a lot of the videos and this one seems to be better than the social parties of he natives versions.
My other herb I use for mental depression and to heal the brain is Aswagandhia (love it); Chanca Piedra (mental clarity) and flaxseed oil (1,000 organic milligrams). (It's important to get rid of spokes "see iridology posts," shown at noon in the brain area, or if you see lesions.)
