Tag: Kava safety

According to expert recommendations for commercial dietary supplements, a maximum daily intake of kavalactones should not exceed 250 mg, placing a 260 mg dose slightly over this advised limit. However, the significance of this dosage is highly dependent on context, as traditional kava use in the South Pacific often involves much larger quantities.

Case reports have shown severe liver injury, in some instances requiring transplantation, when kava is mixed with other substances. As a central nervous system depressant, kava carries significant risks when combined with other psychoactive drugs or certain medications. Understanding what you should not mix kava with is crucial for safe consumption.
