Now Foods Kava Kava Extract

Overview

Now Foods Kava Kava Extract is a dietary supplement centered on kava, a botanical traditionally associated with relaxation. Each capsule supplies a 30% kavalactone extract, providing a standardized herbal formula rather than a basic, non-standardized plant preparation. The product is positioned for adult use as needed and is designed to support a calm, relaxed state.

In addition to the extract itself, the formula is presented as non-GMO and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. It also carries kosher and halal designations, and it is part of NOW Foods’ botanicals/herbs line. The brand notes GMP quality assurance and identifies itself as a family-owned company operating since 1968.

This supplement is manufactured in the USA with globally sourced ingredients. It is not made with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, or sesame ingredients, although it is produced in a facility that processes those allergens.
