Kava is an excellent natural alternative for those looking to replace alcohol with a relaxing, non-intoxicating beverage. By consuming kava once a week, you can enjoy its stress-relieving benefits while avoiding potential risks associated with excessive use.
Why Choose a Kava Mocktail?
Kava is a natural, plant-based alternative to alcohol, offering relaxation without intoxication. With no hangover, no impairment, and stress-relieving benefits, kava is a great way to unwind while staying mindful of your health. Drinking kava once a week can be a great way to incorporate relaxation into your routine while avoiding the negative effects of alcohol.
Maximum recommended daily dose is 250mg of kavalectones. We recommend half this dose only once or twice a week to stay safe.
Does Kava Give You a Buzz?
Kava does not produce a traditional alcoholic buzz, but it does offer a calming, euphoric effect. Many people report feeling more relaxed, sociable, and at ease after drinking kava, making it an excellent alternative for social settings.
Is Kava Kava illegal?
In the U.S. and Canada, kava kava is not illegal, but it is illegal in some other countries around the globe because of the risk of overuse and liver toxicity. If you can see kava powder on the shelf in your local health food store, it’s legal to buy and consume.
What is Kava Haven?
Kava Haven is a premium, ready-to-drink kava beverage designed for relaxation and stress relief. It contains a carefully measured amount of kavalactones, the active compounds in kava that promote calmness and a sense of well-being. Each 1.5 oz serving of Kava Haven contains approximately 100-120 mg of kavalactones, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a potent yet balanced kava experience without overconsumption.
