gaia capsules

[kl.EliteAmericans]

Hi I'm interested in the level of quality and or purity of the GAIA Kava kava root capsules. Got a bottle yesterday just to sample, to see if they are worth buying in bulk. 

Here are the supplement facts listed on the bottle:

Calories 21
Alcohol free concentrated extract of: Kava Kava root (Piper methysticum) + ... 409 mg
Total Kavalactones (from Kava Kava) ... 225 mg


Other ingredients: Soy lecithin, vegetable glycerin, vegetable cellulose (capsule) 


------------------------------



I'm primarily looking to take some sort of natural non addictive substance to assist me with general anxiety, nervousness, and to cessate alcohol use.  I took 2 of these gaia capsules yesterday and it seemed to work alright, I even drove a little better than usual.  How do the gaia capsules rank up with other kava products in quality?

I'm a total newbie, so take this with a grain of salt. - I had my first "real" kava experience tonight with a prepared drink. But I have taken the Gaia capsules a number of times. The Gaia capsules help me get to my normal baseline if I'm feeling really depressed or anxious - but don't make me feel especially relaxed or anything. In contrast, the prepared drink is more of a light relaxation buzz. Reading this forum will give you alot of good information on the prepared drink.

I am a newbie too. I started out with the GAIA Kava root capsules (2-3) and Yogi Kava tea (2 tea bags) combo. Although the effects can be felt, it is very mild compared to fresh kava. My first real kava experience was with N@H Fire Island instant. Really nice. I also tried N@H Stone kava. Even better. I will never use the capsules or teas anymore. Compared to real Kava, they are a waste of money. There are many good kava sellers, but I have only purchased from N@H, so I can't comment on the others. Whatever you do, don't purchase from Kona Kava. They have a really bad reputation.
