I used to take kava kava a few years ago, and I've been wanting to start on it again. I asked my wife to pick some up today, and she went to 4 stores - including GNC - and couldn't find it. The pharmacy guy at Wal-Mart said he thought the FDA pulled it from the shelves for "some reason". She checked online and found several suppliers of it. I'll place an order later this week.
What's the deal? I've read rumors about kava kava causing liver damage, but there's no solid proof. Why would the supply be so limited now?
I used to take it when I worked a high-stress job, and I swear the stuff kept me from decapitating several co-workers :icon_evil . I've been dealing with some stressful situations lately, and I really could use another supply. I took the pill form, not the liquid. I don't think I could drink it, as it's pretty bitter stuff.
Please share your experiences and opinions of "nature's prozac" - good or bad. Also, can anyone recommend a specific brand/dosage for me?
