Kava kava capsules are available at almost any health food store, or drug store as well as online.
The kava capsule usually contains ground or powdered kava root as the main herb. Kava is not always the only ingredient in these capsules and the strength or potency of the supplement can vary greatly.
Kava capsules are typically encased in a gel skin, just like most other types of supplements. If you read your packaging you may find other herbs included in the blend. Common ones are Passion Flower and other calming herbs such as Lavender.
As I mentioned, the potency of the kava supplement or capsule can vary tremendously, 70mg per capsule - 240mg per capsule seems to be average. As an alternative to the capsules you could also try the
Liquid Kava Kava.
100% Organic Kava capsules are also available and highly recommended for anyone chosing to take them.
It has been noted that the results of Kava supplements and the effects on the body are much milder than if you drink the tea made from ground root or powdered Kava Kava.
For this reason alone, if you are looking for a quick way to get your Kava, the powdered variety is probably a better option if you are looking for a somewhat stronger effect.
Some people do report that they receive a good nights sleep when taking the capsules and those taking the powder or root do achieve a great sleep, but usually not for an hour or two after consuming the beverage.
