I run a Kava company. Would you consider Kava a Nootropic?

Looking to possibly combine Kava with some kind of nootropics to enhance my focus during the day. Usually I just mix Kava with a few cups of coffee and that seems to do the trick. WOndering if there are any better additives? If you don't know what Kava is, you can checkout my site here: www.getkavafied.com

I should have clarified "in higher amounts in above ground stems/aerial roots." Although I have seen that claim before that "only leaves have the toxins" etc.

Yeah, we certainly need more data, and I do not think the risk is as high as some claim. However, the risks should still be stated and understood; especially with how often Acetominophen is used. If there is a serious liver interaction between the two, users should know to avoid the combo, or other liver-taxing compounds.

Kava has hepatotoxic compounds in its leaves. So poorly made extracts can cause liver damage. That's probably what you read. Kava root itself is pretty safe. Just don't get the leaves mix in the extract. There are no kn

Replying to drop0dead · This is the second year this has happened while I'm out of work, makes me want to cry. If I had any cash I'd get centrophenoxine, agmatine, skull cap, kava, nmn, nr, and ginger.

PM me when you are back working. I will get you taken care of.

You have it backwards. White tea has the least amount of caffeine and the highest polyphenols and catechins, like EGCG. Black tea has the highest caffeine content and L-theanine due to the oxidation process. White and gr
