Analysis
This NOW product blends 250mg of Kava Kava extract (standardized to Kavalactones) with 100mg of organic Eleuthero. Kava Kava is often used to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, while Eleuthero is included for its adaptogenic properties to help manage stress and support energy.
It's intended for individuals looking for a combination approach to stress relief, particularly if they are seeking both relaxation from Kava Kava and the adaptogenic support of Eleuthero. The Eleuthero dose here is rather modest, playing a supportive role to the Kava Kava.
Pros
- Combines Kava Kava for relaxation with Eleuthero for adaptogenic support.
- Kava Kava extract is standardized to Kavalactones for consistency.
- Contains organic Eleuthero.
Cons
- Eleuthero dose (100mg) is relatively low for standalone adaptogenic effects.
- Kava Kava has specific usage considerations and potential for individual sensitivity.
- Might not be suitable for those seeking Eleuthero as a primary ingredient.
Warnings
- Kava Kava should not be consumed with alcohol or taken by individuals with liver conditions.
- Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if taking medications.
- Eleuthero may affect blood sugar levels; monitor if you have related conditions.

Goals
Impact
High effect
The combination of Kava Kava for relaxation and Eleuthero for adaptogenic support offers a dual approach to managing stress. Kava is known for its calming properties.
Impact
Moderate effect
While Eleuthero can offer some indirect cognitive benefits, the low dose here, combined with Kava Kava's relaxing properties, means this product is not primarily focused on sharp cognitive enhancement.
Impact
Moderate effect
Kava Kava is known for relaxation, which might counteract Eleuthero's mild energy-supporting qualities. This product isn't primarily designed for a noticeable energy boost.
Impact
Moderate effect
Given the inclusion of Kava Kava for relaxation, this product is more aligned with winding down than directly boosting productivity, though stress reduction can indirectly help.
Impact
Moderate effect
The relaxing effects of Kava Kava might not be ideal for acute mental focus. The low Eleuthero dose also limits its contribution to concentration.
Impact
Moderate effect
Neither Kava Kava nor the low dose of Eleuthero are primary ingredients for direct immune support. This product's focus is more on stress and relaxation.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount per serving |
|---|---|
Kava Kava extract | 250 mg |
organic Eleuthero | 100 mg |
Eleuthero 60
While it contains Eleuthero, the 100mg dose is quite low, making this less of a primary Eleuthero product and more of a blend where Eleuthero plays a minor, supportive role.
