What is kavalactones?Kavalactones is the active ingredient of kava extract.
If you’re new to kava but want to try it out for its pleasant calming and anxiolytic effects, you may be wondering if there is a recommended kavalactones dosage you should start with. The truth is that kavalactones can act on the body in different ways at different doses, which is part of what makes kava such a versatile calming herb: one suitable both for evening recreation, a daytime anxiety aid, and a nighttime sleep aid. In this article we’ve outlined a basic kavalactones dosage range, as well as the effects you can expect to generate at different doses of kavalactones, to help you make an informed decision about your kava consumption.
It may help to acknowledge that we’re talking about a whole class of psychoactive compounds, the kavalactones. There are about 18 distinct types of kavalactone in a typical bowl or tincture of kava, including different kawains and flavokawains. Kavalactones are responsible for kava root’s calming, anxiolytic, and in some cases euphoric effects. A full spectrum extract or tincture of kava will also include secondary compounds found in the roots such as the anti-oxidant glutathione, which researchers have suggested may have a protective effect on the liver when it is consumed in a traditional kava brew. If you want the convenience of taking a pill or tincture but with all the authentic effects of a traditional kava brew, we recommend you invest in a full-spectrum kava extract that preserves the full chemical profile of the root.
