Piper methysticum<\/em> root supercritical CO2 extract) is a yellow waxy paste-like kavalactone concentrate derived from the roots of the Kava plant. Liftmode’s Kava Extract is standardized to ≥60% Kavalactones, has been verified to be produced from roots only, and has been tested for noble profile based on kavalactone chemotype of 425613, DHKavain=2, Kavain = 4, DHMethystin=5, Methysticin=6, DMYangonin=1, Yangonin=3<\/p>\nTraditionally (for Western Kava drinkers), Kava is brewed by kneading shredded or powdered dried root in warm water, using a cloth or nylon fine mesh straining bag. Though kavalactones themselves are not water soluble, the brewing and straining process creates a milky dispersion which aids absorption by increasing surface area. This emulsification process is not as easy to accomplish with concentrated Kava Extract due to its waxy properties, there are a number of ways to increase absorption of high concentration Kavalactone extract at home. These include mixing the extract with sunflower lecithin, blending into a smoothie that includes a source of fats such as milk, creamer, or coconut oil; or making an ethanolic tincture and dispersing it into water.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that mixing Kava with alcohol yields significantly more hepatotoxicity than either on their own, and should be avoided. Anecdotal evidence suggests that consuming liver-supporting supplements such as Milk Thistle Extract or NAC may reduce the side effects of heavy use. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery if intoxicated on Kava.<\/p>\n
This product is 1 gram [0.04 oz] of Kava Extract at ≥30% Kavalactones in a transparent, reclosable plastic jar with an integrated Safety Seal and Shrinkband.<\/p>\n
Also included are the certificate of analysis for the individual Kava Extract batch and a 0.15cc measuring scoop which measures approximately one half serving, or of 150mg Kava Extract. The recommended serving size is 300mg.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that this Kavalactone concentrate is not equivalent to a traditional water-based brew made from Kava root, as it is highly purified and leaves out plant cells, starches and other components that help the kavalactones remain suspended in a fresh root-derived brew. Thus, without thorough mixing and emulsification of the Kavalactone concentrate, oral consumption of this concentrate will not produce desired effects in reasonable quantities. There are, however a few recommended routes\/methods for use:<\/p>\n1. To obtain desired effects directly from the waxy concentrate in pure form, a consumption approach involving the application of the wax to a heated surface may be required.<\/p>\n
2. For most people, the easiest option will be to blend the waxy concentrate in a hand blender or smoothie machine, with some fruit, some juice, and (ideally) a bit of yogurt or an oil of your choice like MCT or coconut oil. <\/p>\n
3. If you prefer a more traditional use, we can recommend using a hand blender or smoothie machine to blend the concentrate into hot water. The addition of a small amount of oil will help this process. <\/p>\n
4. An alternate effective approach is dissolving our Kava concentrate into MCT oil, flavor extracts, or coconut cream, then mixing or emulsifying into into warm water or a smoothie with liquid lecithin using the high powered blender to get a thorough emulsion. We are working on an instantized form of the Kavalactone concentrate with synergistic components that will help with the emulsification process – the ready to use blend is in the pipeline and expected for release soon!<\/p>\n
Kava’s Latin species name, Piper methysticum<\/em>, translates to “intoxicating pepper”. Special cultivars of the Kava plant have been cultivated and propagated for ceremonial and social purposes across Polynesia over centuries dating back to prehistory, when the plant was first spread widely by the seafaring Lapita people to numerous far-flung islands of the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\nIn modern times, the root of the Kava plant continues to be used traditionally in Pacific Ocean cultures of Polynesia, including Hawaii, Vanuatu, Melanesia, and some parts of Micronesia – where the root of the plant is macerated to yield a milky water based emulsion of its active ingredients (the kavalactones) and consumed as a ceremonial drink, imbuing its users with a combination of prosocial, sedative, analgesic, and energizing \/ euphoric inebriating properties. Kava is now also consumed internationally beyond its original Pacific Ocean cultural use, both in its traditional beverage form, and as a dietary supplement for its mood uplifting yet relaxing and stress easing properties.<\/p>\n
There are six major kavalactones occurring in the roots of the Kava plant, along with many minor kavalactones. The primary kavalactones comprise Kavain, Methysticin, and their dihydro counterparts (DHK and DHM), and Yangonin and its desmethoxy counterpart (DMY).<\/p>\n
A noble variety Kava plant typically takes 3-5 years to reach maturity, at which point the whole Kava plant is usually uprooted and the desirable root segments are selected for drying. The aerial parts or improperly dried roots have lower concentrations of kavalactones and may also contain hepatotoxic compounds – (for a good review of the liver safety of Kava, see e.g. Kava hepatotoxicity: pathogenetic aspects and prospective considerations<\/a>) – thus careful harvesting and drying of the plant and selection of only the desirable root parts is required to produce a safe, high quality Kava extract.<\/p>\nOur LiftMode Kava Extract (Piper methysticum<\/em> root supercritical CO2 extract) is a yellow waxy paste-like kavalactone concentrate derived from the roots of the Kava plant.
