How to choose a kava can
- New to kava? Start with Orange Dream: zesty organic orange, 50 calories on the can front. Its linked lab report (Feb 2025 batch) lists 59.7 mg of total kavalactones, one of the few kava cans with a number you can check.
- Sweet tooth? Tutti Frutti is the fruit-first can: berry, citrus and tropical fruit, 60 calories.
- Already a regular? Sucker Punch is BBCo's double-strength can (1,400 mg kava extract). It's not a first can.
- Can't decide? The variety pack lets you try the flavors before you buy a case.
Before your first can
- One can is one serving. Don't mix kava with alcohol, don't stack cans, and don't drive after drinking it.
- Skip kava if you're under 21, pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a liver condition or drink heavily. Kava has been linked to rare cases of serious liver injury.
- Skip it if you take antidepressants, sedatives, sleep aids or medications that affect the liver, unless your doctor says it's OK.
