Frequently Asked Questions
-
Kava is a root plant from the South Pacific with thousands of years of traditional use across Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Hawaii, ground into a preparation that's been central to social and ceremonial life for as long as anyone can remember. The active compounds are kavalactones, which are responsible for the relaxation, the mood ease, and the mild numbing sensation you might notice in your lips when you first try it. Not all kava is created equal. We use noble kava, the traditional cultivar with the cleanest effect and the best safety profile.
-
Calmer, easier, more at ease. Without the fog. Most people notice a gentle body relaxation, a quiet mood lift, and a slight numbing in the lips and tongue that fades quickly. At higher doses the relaxation deepens and sleep comes easier. You stay present. Things just feel more manageable. Worth knowing: kava has a reverse tolerance curve. Some people feel very little their first time and more with regular use. That's normal.
-
Traditional Pacific cultures have been doing exactly that for thousands of years. For most people, moderate daily use is fine. Taking occasional breaks and keeping doses reasonable is a good habit.
-
For most healthy adults using noble kava at reasonable doses, yes. Noble kava has a long history of traditional use and a clean safety record. If you're pregnant, nursing, or take prescription medications, talk to your doctor first. We make kava products. We're not your physician.
-
Yes. Kava is legal throughout the United States and most of the world. It's sold as a food ingredient and dietary supplement and is not a controlled substance. A handful of countries had temporary import restrictions in the early 2000s that have since been reversed. If you're traveling internationally, a quick check for your destination is worth it. In the US, you're fine.
-
Kava is at its best when the pace slows down. After work, before dinner, during a long weekend afternoon, or as a pre-sleep ritual when you want to wind down without wine. The higher the dose, the more evening-appropriate it becomes. Our Deep Delight gummies and Unwind soda are both built for the second half of the day, when the work is behind you and the night is yours. If you're new to kava, start with one gummy or one can and give it twenty to thirty minutes to settle in.
-
Kanna is a South African succulent with thousands of years of traditional use among the indigenous San and Khoikhoi peoples, who chewed, smoked, and prepared it for its mood-brightening and social effects. The active compounds are mesembrine alkaloids, which work on mood and emotional ease in ways distinctly different from kava. Where kava relaxes the body, kanna brightens the mind.
-
Lighter. Brighter. More open. Kanna lifts the mood, eases social tension, and creates a sense of emotional ease without sedation or impairment. At lower doses it can feel mildly activating. At higher doses it settles into a warm, easygoing sociability. Most people describe it as feeling more like themselves, just without the weight. It's not a high. It's more like the feeling when something that was bothering you quietly stops.
-
Traditional use suggests yes, and kanna has been used regularly for generations. For most people, daily moderate use is fine. Keeping doses reasonable and taking occasional breaks is a good habit. If you're on antidepressants, SSRIs, or any medication that affects serotonin, talk to your doctor before adding kanna to the mix.
-
For most healthy adults at reasonable doses, yes. Kanna has a long history of traditional use and a well-established safety record at moderate doses. If you're on antidepressants, SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs, check with your doctor first. Same if you're pregnant or nursing. We make kanna products. We're not your physician.
-
Yes. Kanna is legal in the United States and most of the world. It's sold as a dietary supplement and food ingredient and is not a controlled substance. If you're traveling internationally, a quick check for your destination is worth it. In the US, you're fine.
-
Kanna is an excellent daytime botanical. It's at its best for social situations, workdays that need a little lift, or any moment when your mood could use some help without needing to check out. Our Brighter Mood gummies are built for exactly that, and kanna is the reason the Feel Good Spritz works as an all-day option. If kava is the wind-down, kanna is the ease-in.
