Kava Safety Questions
Returns/Refunds
Is Kava Addictive?
Kava root is considered non-addictive. It can be habit forming though and can lead to the development of tolerance.
Can Kava cause liver damage?
Many years ago a report of some liver health concerns that connected this to kava was published. This led to a ban in some countries. Subsequent studies have shown that traditional kava consumption is safe, leading to the ban being lifted in most countries which previously banned it. The best litmus test is that the people of the South Pacific have been drinking kava for hundreds of years and to date there is no evidence that these countries have higher than average liver problems.
Do Australia Kava Shop test our kava?
We strive to have the best quality kava available in Australia. We do this by receiving testing documentation prior to importation of all our kava. We have our kava certified for: Noble variety confirmation and Microbiological content (free from E.Coli, Salmonella and other contaminants ). For each shipment we make we update our testing documentation HERE.
Does Australia Kava Shop test for pesticides?
The use of pesticides in agriculture is almost nonexistent in the South Pacific. Heavy Metals are also nonexistent in countries that export kava from the region. It is for these reasons we do not test for either of them.
Can children drink kava?
Legally yes, however this is frowned upon in cultures that drink kava and we do not recommend it either.
Can pregnant women drink kava?
There has been no studies in relation to this. We would recommend consulting with your doctor prior to drinking kava if you are pregnant.
