Kava kava, orpiper methysticum, is a plant native to the South Pacific. The root of the plant is used as an herbal solution with various effects. Traditionally, the kava root was ground into a paste and added to liquid for consumption as a kava drink. It’s often used in ceremonies and rituals for its relaxation properties, potential to increase sociability, and mood elevation. For today’s use, we’ve harnessed the power of this incredible plant to create a modern tonic that offers all the same benefits. Whether you choose to enjoy ourfeel freetonic or ourfeel freecapsules, you’re ready to experience the true potential of kava firsthand.

What is a kava drink known to do? It can offer relief from occasional anxiety symptoms and stress, ideal for when you’re staring down a heavy workload or a fully packed itinerary. Aside from kava's relaxation effects, it can also act as a social lubricant for days you need to network or nights you want to feel like your most bubbly self without the downsides that come with imbibing.

If you prefer a fast effect, our feel free tonic kicks in 15 to 20 minutes after consumption. If you’d rather take a smaller dose with more subtle results, our feel free capsules take effect after 30 to 45 minutes. Both the tonic and supplements last three to four hours, so you can ride the wave of feeling free well into the night, or until you’ve completed your growing pile of morning to-dos.

While kava may sound too good to be true, this is the power of plants and ancient herbs. Our specially formulated tonic and kava capsules harness their potential to offer you an herbal alternative to coffee, focus enhancers, and energy drinks.
