I am new to Kava (and new to this site) and thought I'd give these a try, since they're so inexpensive. These are marketed on Amazon as "Kava Kava Muscle Relaxant and Sleep Aid." I bought a pack of 30 pills for $5.10. They are 500 mg tablets, and 1-2 are recommended to help you sleep. I've been having problems with insomnia, and have been using (in rotation) melatonin, 3 different antihistamines, and have also tried valerian (which didn't help) and chamomile (which seemed to make me restless). I've had a lot of anxiety for the last few months, so what I've read about Kava seems to make it a natural fit.
These pills do seem to work, at least for my purposes. The 3 times I've taken them, they've helped me sleep. They say they are made from whole Kava roots, but don't say what the kavalactone content is. So I sent an e-mail to the company, and was told it is 4%, which I guess means 20 mg per pill. So my 2 pill dose is only 40 mg.
Any opinions on these? They do have mixed reviews:
