The Science behind Qamea Kava -
(Lab results below)
Kavalactones are the active compounds in Kava, and they are typically identified by their chemotype, which represents the relative abundance of six main Kavalactones in the plant. The chemotype is written as a sequence of numbers (e.g., 4-3-6-2-5-1) to indicate the order of predominance of these compounds. Here’s the breakdown of Qamea Kava's Chemotype (4-3-6-2-5-1):
1. 4 (Dihydrokavain): The most abundant Kavalactone in Qamea Kava. Dihydrokavain is known for its calming and relaxing effects.
2. 3 (Kavain): The second most abundant Kavalactone in Qamea Kava. Kavain is associated with mood enhancement and relaxation without heavy sedation.
3. 6 (Yangonin): The third most abundant Kavalactone in Qamea Kava. Yangonin interacts with the endocannabinoid system and may have mild euphoric or mood-enhancing effects.
4. 2 (Dihydromethysticin): The fourth most abundant Kavalactone in Qamea Kava. Dihydromethysticin has sedative and calming effects, often contributing to relaxation.
5. 5 (Methysticin): The fifth most abundant Kavalactone in Qamea Kava. Methysticin has potent calming and muscle relaxing properties, with neuroprotective and antioxidant effects.
6. 1 (Desmethoxyyangonin): The sixth most abundant Kavalactone in Qamea Kava. Desmethoxyyangonin has mildly stimulating and uplifting effects, which promotes socialability and positivity in social settings.
Qamea Kava's chemotype, 4-3-6-2-5-1, provides a perfectly balanced uplifting profile, leaning towards relaxation and mood improvement with some mild euphoria but not overly sedative. It is ideal for reducing anxiety and promoting social interactions.​
