About this product

Kava extract supplies 250 mg and clearly dominates the two-ingredient formula. The label names kavalactones but does not state how much of those actives the serving provides.

Eleuthero contributes only 100 mg and is too low for meaningful whole-herb adaptogen support. Kava favors relaxation and may impair alertness rather than improve memory or focus.

The larger bottle offers a long supply for adults who specifically want kava. Its safety profile calls for occasional, carefully timed use rather than casual daytime cognitive supplementation.

Who is it for
  • Adults specifically seeking short-term kava relaxation
  • People who can avoid driving, alcohol, and sedatives
Best for
  • Occasional relaxation routines
  • Non-driving evening use

Pros

  • Substantial kava extract amount
  • Both active amounts are disclosed
  • Long container supply

Cons

  • Kavalactone yield is not quantified
  • Eleuthero amount is too low
  • Poor fit for memory or focus
  • Kava can impair alertness

Warnings

  • Kava can cause marked drowsiness and should not be used before driving or safety-sensitive work.
  • Do not combine kava with alcohol, sleep medicines, benzodiazepines, or other sedatives.
  • Kava has a rare but serious liver-injury concern and is unsuitable with liver disease or other liver-stressing products.

Product analysis

60 out of 100
Kava may aid relaxation, but weak eleuthero dosing, sedation, and liver concerns make the formula unsuitable for cognitive enhancement.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient quality49

Unstandardized eleuthero is present at a low amount that is unlikely to provide focused support. Kava dominates the formula and works against daytime cognitive support through sedation.

Ingredient transparency75

Listed active weights are mostly clear, and no proprietary blend hides a combined amount. Complete use directions and inactive ingredients are not supplied, while named active markers help, but their percentages or yields are not disclosed.

Customer satisfaction68

The average rating is good, and the review count is large. No review text is supplied to assess recurring complaints or purpose-specific experience.

Value for money44

The limited eleuthero contribution does not fully justify the cost. Serving value is weak for focused eleuthero use.
