I've recently got a couple of blisters to test your product. No complaints here, even though they could perhaps be a bit stronger per drop.
I'm worrying about the use of toxic food coloring. Especially the use of Tartrazine. To say that this chemical is not healthy would be and understatement:

Is there no healthier alternative ?

Tartrazine has been banned in several countries for years and the EU is planning to phase out this coloring agent. Even if kava should become legal again in the EU, your product might still be facing import bans because of the coloring.Tartrazine appears to cause the most allergic and intolerance reactions of all the azo dyes, particularly among asthmatics and those with an aspirin intolerance.[8] Symptoms from tartrazine sensitivity can occur by either ingestion or cutaneous exposure to a substance containing tartrazine.[citation needed] Symptoms appear after periods of time ranging from minutes to 6 to 14 hours.[9]
A variety of immunologic responses have been attributed to tartrazine ingestion, including anxiety, migraine,[9] clinical depression, blurred vision, itching, general weakness, heatwaves, feeling of suffocation, purple skin patches, and sleep disturbance.[10]
