Kava Extract Kavalactones Powder Supplier in China

The rise in popularity of Kava has been growing across the United States for a time now. This herbal sedative is an alternative way to find potent doses of relief for various issues related to stress, anxiety, pain, and more. The Kava plant comes from islands of the South Pacific, where it has been used in indigenous herbal medicine for centuries. Kava contains numerous kavalactones from the root of this plant, which makes it a potent extract for sleep and stress. Kava extract can be found in the form of oil, tea, capsules, powder, and more. 
What is Kava Extract?
Kava is an extract coming from the Piper methysticum plant from southern parts of the pacific such as Polynesia, Hawaii, and Micronesia. Other names of this common plant and herbal medicine are also known as kava root, kavalactones, sega, and yaqona. In Polynesia, local folks refer to this as “awa” which translates to bitter, as it is known for its slightly bitter taste. This tropical evergreen shrub has heart-shaped leaves and woody stems which are extracted to get kava root powder. Traditionally, Kava has been used as an herbal drink but now has many forms in powders, capsules, and more. One of its most noted uses is for reducing anxiety and decreasing pain and stress. 
Kava is a chemical compound made up of C14H16O3. Its CAS number is 9000-38-8. Kava is primarily made up of chemical ingredients known as kavalactones-which are understood to affect the central nervous system and give users its notable effects. 
Constituents of Kava Kava Extract
Kavalactones are one of the primary constituents of kava extract, with over 18 chemical compounds making up these kavalactones. The most commonly researched ingredients of these include methysticin and dihydrokavain, which has fungal activity and are believed to induce Kava’s anxiolytic effects. The average half-life elimination of kavalactones is typically 9 hours. This means it should be out of your system in about 9 hours with minor, zero leftover effects. Besides kavalactones which give users cognitive effects, fresh kava root also contains fiber, a large amount of water, and almost 5% of protein and minerals, which offers Kava some antioxidant effects. 
Kavalactones
Kavalactones are a class of lactone compounds found in over 18 different ingredients in the kava root. They have been studied in research to have psychotropic, sedative, and hypnotic effects. These are soluble in water and extracted from the kava plant using solvent extraction. The CAS number for these is 3155-48-4. In general, the deeper the roots are of the kava plant, where one will find more significant amounts of kavalactones. Concentrations between 5-15% have been present in the root and basal stems. Other influences that may impact the concentration of kavalactones in this plant are the variety of the kava plant it is its environment and location as well as plant maturity. Other kavalactones present in Kava extract include kavain, desmethoxyyangonin, and Yangonin, which are higher in the roots than in the stems and leaves as well. Six main active ingredients make up almost 96% of the lactones in this root, with Yangonin being the highest at 42%, followed by dihydrokavain, which makes up about 35%. Although methysticin is some of the most popularly researched, it only makes up about 3% of the plant, with kawain making up about 9%.

Kratom vs. Kava
With the growing popularity of these herbal supplements, it is understandable that many confuse the two. Although they are both plants from Southern parts of Asia and the Pacific, they differ significantly in their effects. For one, kratom comes from the leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa plant, native to Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. While many people take Kava to wind down and relax from anxiety, kratom gives users the opposite effects. Kratom is known as a stimulant and can provide users with a much more energetic feeling, similar to caffeine. Kratom plays off of dopamine and serotonin receptors to give people more alertness and focus, rather than Kava, which influences GABA receptors. 
Kava vs. Ashwagandha
Another popular herbal supplement, especially with the rise in rates of anxiety disorders today, is Ashwagandha. This is a shrub that grows in parts of Africa and the middle east. Both of these herbal supplements are great for users struggling with anxiety, although they differ in how they affect users. Kava has a much more “feel-good” effect and works better for situational anxiety or panic attacks. It quickly relieved anxiety symptoms such as a common psychiatric drug like benzodiazepines. On the other hand, Ashwagandha works slower by building more physical strength in one’s body and overall lowering cholesterol levels. Kava seems to be the best herbal supplement to take for immediate anxiety relief. On the other hand, Ashwagandha is much safer for long-term use and the overall prevention of stress. 
How does Kava Kava Extract work?
Kava Kava influences and increases two common neurotransmitters in the brain: GABA and Dopamine. Due to this, it is known as a central nervous system depressant (depressant meaning it relaxes the body rather than giving energy). While dopamine is usually associated with more energy, when paired with GABA, it helps provide relaxation, focus, and feelings of euphoria.
Kava Kava Extract Manufacturing process
As discussed above, the kava plant has over 18 different kavalactones that give this plant its sedative effects. Raw materials used include the roots, stems, and leaves of the kava plant. This herbal sedative is extracted through water and solvent-based method. Solvents commonly used include ethanol or supercritical carbon dioxide. 
Kava Kava Extract Benefits
As discussed above, Kava influences vital neurotransmitters in the brain that can be linked to various effects and reduction in stress. Kava has multiple benefits for physical and primarily mental health and wellness. 
Powerful Stress Support 
Kava kava is a powerful herb that supports calming effects throughout the body. We made each capsule to hold a concentrated amount of kava extract, giving you a convenient way to get the peace of mind you need. This provides you with a natural way to keep balanced all day long. Kava influences our GABA receptors, which are known to reduce anxiety and relief stress. GABA is the primary neurotransmitter for anxiolytic effects and is the main chemical found in prescription anxiety medications such as Xanax or Klonopin. Kava has actually been used to help folks withdrawing from these prescription benzodiazepines as Kava has less risk associated with toxicity. While Kava may not have a direct role in physical health, stress on the body can lead to various chronic illnesses and diseases. 
Natural Sleep Aid
While GABA is most notably discussed regarding anxiety and panic attacks, it is also what helps make us sleepy and relaxed for bed at night. Especially when it pairs up with our natural melatonin cycle, this natural sleep aid will help you get to sleep quickly and soundly, especially when taken during a nightly routine. Taking Kava during an anxiety attack will make one feel relaxed but may not put them to sleep. Although at night, this extra amount of relaxation can help one drift off to sleep. Due to the high amount of active ingredients in our product, we are able to provide you with extra strength servings that promote lasting effects and make you less likely to be up at night with stress or racing thoughts. 
Cognitive Function and Brain Health
Although Kava relaxes consumers and it is not a stimulant, various studies have shown its positive effects on improving attention, focus, and overall memory function. One theory of this is that decreasing stress and anxiety naturally allows for better cognitive function. Research also found that visual attention in particular increased after taking Kava. While there is still much to be explored about the increase of cognitive function from Kava, researchers could conclude that there was no decrease in cognitive function after taking Kava.  
Kava Extract side effects.
Kava is used very commonly in the US and Asia, with very few reported side effects when taken safely and in small amounts. Of course, there is a risk for one to abuse kava for its effects, and this can lead to long-term liver damage, overdose, and even death. Kava was taken off the European market at one point due to its link to deaths, but further scientific research disrupted the fears of Kava, and it was reintroduced to the market. Side effects that users may quickly feel are slower heart rate, calming or anxiety-reducing effects, and sometimes dry mouth. People taking Kava should avoid operating machinery or driving as it can cause sedative effects. 
Kava Extract dosage
Dosages of Kava can vary based on the manufacturer and desired effects, but clinical research recommends not taking more than 250 mg of kavalactones as this can highly risk damage to the liver. 70-180 mg of kavalactones is about the average dose needed to reach desired effects. The number of capsules one may take will depend on the milligram dosage in each capsule.
