Product Overview
Kava extract is prepared from the lateral root of Piper methysticum, the Piper-species shrub cultivated across the South Pacific. Its characteristic constituents are the kavalactones, a class of substituted pyrones standardised in commercial extracts. Kava remains a sought-after relaxation botanical in North America and select markets, and VeraVita Bio supplies it only to markets where kava products are permitted, with full traceability documentation. Buyers should read the regulatory note below before enquiring.
Key Features
- Authentic Piper methysticum lateral-root material, noble-cultivar sourcing on request
- Kavalactone standardisation confirmed batch-specifically
- Powder grade for capsules and instant formats
- Strong brand recognition in the relaxation category (US and permitted markets)
- Full traceability: cultivar, origin and chemotype documentation available
- COA with kavalactone profile on request
How It Works
- Marker chemistry – the six major kavalactones (kavain, dihydrokavain, methysticin, dihydromethysticin, yangonin, desmethoxyyangonin) define the chemotype; commercial extracts quote total kavalactone content.
- Cultivar matters – noble cultivars are the traditionally consumed chemotypes; aerial-part and non-noble material is associated with the historically reported adverse-event profile and is not supplied.
- Regulatory note (important) – kava-containing products are restricted or prohibited in several European jurisdictions (including Germany and France) and are subject to national rules elsewhere; importers must confirm the legal position with their own regulatory counsel before ordering. VeraVita Bio supplies only to markets where sale is permitted.
- Relaxation-related claims for finished products are the brand owner’s responsibility under local law.
Typical Applications
- Relaxation-positioned capsules (permitted markets only)
- Instant kava beverage powders (permitted markets)
- Kava-bar and traditional-preparation supply (permitted markets)
- Botanical reference and research use
