[What is Kava?]

Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and ‘awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.

Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.

[Kava is Safe to Use]

The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.

In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava’s margin of safety far surpasses that of it’s pharmaceutical equivalent.

[Function]

Kava’s can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava’s anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.

One of the best known fat burners available, raspberry ketone, is a natural substance that gives red raspberries their powerful aroma. Raspberry ketones cause the fat within cells to break down more effectively, helping the body burn fat faster. They also increase levels of adiponectin, a hormone that helps to regulate fat metabolism. Raising adiponectin levels helps people lose weight and lower the risk of many diseases like diabetes. The molecular structure of raspberry ketones is similar to the two well-known fat burning compounds, capsasin and synephrine.

Scientific studies have been performed to assess raspberry ketones as a weight loss aid in lab animals. Raspberry ketone supplements given to animals on a high-fat diet prevented the animals from gaining weight. The liver and visceral fat (“belly fat”) that surrounds organs was also less fatty, according to the paper published in the medical journal Life Sciences.

Another study showed raspberry ketones increased the breakdown of fat molecules within fat cells. The paper was published in the journal Planta Medica and reported that raspberry ketones stimulated fat cells to secrete more adiponectin (the fat regulating hormone).

Raspberry ketones cause changes in body fat and overall weight, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration categorizes raspberry ketones as safe to use. In extremely high doses, a side effect of raspberry ketones can be inflammation, heart palpitations, and shakiness. Raspberry ketones may also interact with medicines such as those that regulate heart rate, cholesterol, and hormones. They can also lower blood sugar levels, so people taking drugs for diabetes should be monitored closely when taking raspberry ketones.
