Mulungu Bark and Kava Extracts
Original post in this thread

Long time lurker first time post on ND sub reddit. First of all loads of love for ND, their products are wonderful and my latest shipment of Ashwaganda, taurine, Rhodiola Rosea and l-Theanine have been wonderful.
Both Mulungu and Kava are natural legal remedies that have been outstanding (for me and and many others) for very pronounced anti anxiety effects. Mulungu is less well know than Kava but both have slightly different, but wonderful effects.
Mulungu is fully legal and is simply powdered bark of the Mulungu tree. For me it is as strong or strong than a Xanax. It is also non-addictive or habit forming. It gives me a wonderful sleep (but doesn’t put me to sleep) and I wake up without feeling groggy at all, which I love!
I wondered whether there is a reason standardized extracts of these two haven’t been developed? Maybe there is something more at play such as a lack of adequate supply or too many batch variations. Interested to hear thoughts!

Kava was more of a banking issue, but we got ours to allow us. So that one is in the works now!
I've never actually looked into Mulungu. From a cursory search, the supply chain doesn't look as fleshed out as kava. It's mostly from Brazil, and the seed are poisonous. So a lot of work would need to be done to make sure it is safe. It mostly looks like a nicotinic ACH antagonist. That's not ideal from a nootropic standpoint. It would help getting to sleep like Benadryl would, but not sure on sleep quality. It does appear to hit a very specific type of subreceptor, though. So perhaps that is key. I will research more.
