    WHAT IS IT?

    Kava (Piper methysticum) is a plant native to the South Pacific islands, where it has been used in ceremonial and social contexts for centuries. The root of the Kava plant contains kavalactones, which are the primary active compounds responsible for its calming effects.

    WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

    Kava is primarily used to promote relaxation and reduce occasional stress without causing drowsiness. It helps calm the mind, supports relaxation of the muscles, and may assist with easing occasional nervous tension. Kava is also commonly used to support restful sleep during times of increased stress.

    Kavalactones, vegetable glycerin, sunflower lecithin, water and vegan capsule (hypromellose).

    Kava root is fantastic! It's great for anxiety, stress, even helps to relax you at night before bed. It doesn't make you sleeping, it helps you to relax. It's quiets your mind. Great stuff! I always keep a bottle on hand and Gaia brand of anything, is the absolute best!

    Better than expected

    As a routine consumer of medium grind kava, I was looking for something even more convenient than instant kava, without sacrificing potency. You have to factor in that convenience always means added cost. This product strikes a fine balance between convenience and cost, especially when it isn't your main source of kava. Supplementary! Recommended.

From Soil to Supplement

files/Step_1.svg

Step 1

It all begins with the soil

We believe healthy plants start in healthy soil. To obtain maximum potency from an herb, we plant seeds in micronutrient dense soil sustained by regenerative agricultural practices.

Step 2

Nurture & observe each plant

We allow our herbs to flourish until the right moment to harvest to ensure the purity and potency of each plant. We conduct pre-harvest testing in our on-site laboratory to ensure each ingredient is harvested at peak potency.

FAQ
FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

Are your products Organic?

Gaia Herbs purchases Certified Organic ingredients when possible. If not Certified Organic, they are Ecologically Harvested. Ecologically Harvested herbs include herbs that are harvested in their natural habitat, (i.e., wild harvested) according to specific guidelines for harvesting these herbs (i.e., away from roads and industry, as well as guidelines to avoid overharvesting).

All Ecologically Harvested herbs must pass pesticide, heavy metals, and microbial testing prior to being used in our products.

Do you test for pesticides?

Yes. Gaia tests for purity using an analytical method called Gas Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry, or GC-MSMS. This testing is used in our extensive pesticide testing program when testing our raw herbs.

What is your policy on GMOs?

Gaia Herbs is committed to using and supporting only non-GMO materials. Gaia does not purchase GMO herbs and/or ingredients. We do a purchasing review to ensure we eliminate the possibility of hidden GMOs making their way into our products.

All herbs propagated and grown on Gaia Farm are Certified Organic and therefore are GMO-free. Our seeds, whether sourced from our farm or a trusted supplier, are also GMO-free. We will always do everything possible to ensure that our products are non-GMO.

Do you test for Heavy Metals?

Yes. Gaia Herbs uses ICP-MS to test for arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead. ICP-MS stands for Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. This instrument is the centerpiece of Gaia’s heavy metals testing. This powerful technique is capable of observing a wide range of metal at quantities as low as a nanogram of metal in a gram sample. The ICP-MS allows Gaia to obtain precise and sensitive data for all materials in a high speed manner. The plasma vaporizes the sample and ultimately breaks it down to the atomic level. The mass spectrometer is then able to detect all atoms of interest.

What if this product doesn’t work for me?

We stand behind our products and if you are not 100% in love with a Gaia Herbs product purchased from us we will promptly issue a refund. You can request a refund up to 45 days from the ship date from Gaia Herbs. Please visit our Satisfaction Guarantee for the full policy and information on starting a return.
