Customer Reviews of NOW Kava Kava Extract 250mg (60 caps)
Customer Review: WHEN HIGH ANXIETY IS TAKING A HEAVY TOLL RELIEF IS SPELLED KAVA-KAVA
Summary: 5 Stars
A MYSTERY HERB STILL A MYSTERY TO ME
This standardized product is expensive and seems not to be as effective as the crude herb. However, since the big scare hit in 2002 almost every mfg. and retailer has pulled Kava from their product lines. Supposedly, kava caused liver damage, but the evidence is very vague and kava has always been considered very safe and when used prudently is an excellent alternative to a wide variety of prescription drugs.
Kava usually worked well for muscle tightness in my neck, but this standardized product seemed not to work as well. As far as anti-anxiety properties are concerned, I have never noticed them, but I have taken small quantities [1 capsule 2-4x daily].
After examining the issue carefully I have decided to go the crude herb, make your own capsule route. Ordinarily, everything "NOW" produces is both reasonably priced and effective. This product sadly is the exception as I have found that I am not the only one disappointed in the results.
On a positive note, the price this Kava by NOW is being offered at is half the price I last paid for the identical product. I may try it again and take it more liberally, as I have been less than thrilled with the results I have gotten thus far from the crude herb.
