Is Kava Kava the same as Kava?
Yes. Kava Kava is a marketing term coined in the USA. Some marketing experts believe that the term kava kava was created by companies selling kava pills. They believe that by repeating the word kava twice on the label the product had a greater chance of being spotted by a potential consumer, even when the bottle of kava kava pills was put back on the shelf facing the wrong way. But to answer your question, theoretically, yes, kava kava products should be the same as kava products. In all reality, many kava kava pills are not 100% pure. They have other ingredients such as St. Johns Wort and Valerian root inside of them. Are these kava kava products that are not 100% pure the same as kava? NO, they are not! Real kava, as it is prepared and ingested in the south Pacific is 100% pure and always consumed in a water based extraction. Nakamal At Home prides itself in only selling kava products that are 100% pure. So make the right choice now, choose kava from Nakamal At Home.
