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? I am hoping to have it out in the next few months. We have been doing a lot of testing in the background. We made our own methods that separate and quantify each individual kavalactone, and we are testing a bunch of kava on the market. We are using that data to try and elucidate which kavalactones cause which effects. One of my employees is a kava lover, so I am using his knowledge on the various effects specific strains have, then using our lab data to get an idea on whether or not we can predict a specific effect based on a specific kavalactone profile. The main issue with the balanced one we want to bring out first is price. It costs us a lot to make, and I fear people will think we are overpriced. It's just a single origin kava that is tracked and tested to death, so it costs a lot. We have been trying to get the price down, but it won't be the cheapest out there. It's not like it is super high priced, but it will cost us a lot to bring it out. I would hate to spend all the money on a full batch, then have it be a slow seller.
