Kava - the ingredient Big Pharma wants to squash out!
There are very few herbs that are as helpful to the brain as Kava. Kava helps to create balance in mood and restlessness in the brain and/or body. A few studies done in the late 1990's and early 2000's warned that Kava was harmful to the body, however, more recent studies do not carry the same general warning, but caution the user when extreme alcohol consumption or liver disease exists. The amount of Kava in Settle Down Pills is extremely low compared to any study that focuses on Kava Root alone. Therefore, any claim of harm should not be directed towards the Settle Down formula. Here is an article that affirms the safety of Kava. Please feel free to contact us if you have concerns regarding the inclusion of Kava in our product.

Here is a short excerpt from the article:
"Safety issues associated with Kava
Kava is generally well tolerated even at doses significantly above usual therapeutic doses. Uncommon adverse effects include gastrointestinal upset, rash, headaches and dizziness (Schulz 2001). In recent decades there have been reports of Kava inebriation (Matthews 1988), although this social phenomenon has not been observed in Europe where Kava preparations are used medicinally to treat anxiety. Rare case reports suggest that Kava may potentiate the action of benzodiazepines resulting in increased sedation (Almeida 1996), but Kava does not potentiate the effects of alcohol consumption in humans. Rare case reports of hepatitis (Escher 2001) and eminent liver failure (Kraft 2002) have led to restrictions in the sale of Kava products in many European countries and a warning by the FDA. However, independent experts have concluded that most reported cases of liver failure were associated with a processing mistake resulting in potentially toxic levels of alkaloids in a single batch of Kava (Waller 2002; Dragull 2003). Nevertheless, it is judicious to advise patients against taking Kava (Bone 1993) when there is a question of alcohol abuse or heavy use of conventional sedative-hypnotics. One case report suggests that Kava may interfere with anti-Parkinsonian drugs (Izzo 2001)."
