Posted by The botanical category of kava often comes in the form of a beverage. Extract shots are very common and usually include kratom and other active ingredients. Their purpose is sedation, relaxation, mood lift, and social ease, and work by creating a synergistic effect with a blend. That is, until Kava Karma.
The newest kava on the block by Real Botanicals is a pure way to enjoy the effects of the root’s extract. It’s the main active ingredient for making the most of your chill time after work, in the evening, or whenever you want your time (and plans) to go smoothly.
Let’s check it out.
Why Kava?
Kava is an alcohol alternative that came into the U.S. market well before kratom. It first appeared in the early 1900s and re-emerged in the 1990s as a popular herbal supplement for stress relief and relaxation. The root from the Piper Methysticum plant has been a traditional part of Pacific cultures for centuries, where the dried root is powdered and kneaded into cold water.
Modern kava culture in the U.S. took the form of kava bars in states including Florida, California, and Hawaii as social spaces. There, consumed as traditional kava beverages, which state and federal updates in the mid-2020s recognized as safe and conventional foods.
Today, consumption of kava still takes the traditional format along with modern ones. They include instant drink powders and concentrated extracts as well as supplements like capsules, liquid tinctures, and tablets.

What Is Kava Karma?
There are some problems with most kava products these days. One is containing some form of kratom alkaloids, caffeine, or alcohol, which doesn’t do for someone who wants to experience the effects of pure kava. The other is that there’s a lack of standardization, so you could be getting an overly low or high concentration. Kava products don’t all have premium kava in their cultivars, either, leaving you with low quality, potency, and efficacy that will make a bad impression.
Kava Karma is the latest addition to the Real Botanicals lineup of products. It contains noble kava root only, which is perfect for daily consumption and socializing. It has a gentle uplift that’s balanced and smooth and leaves you refreshed the next day. Kava contains kavalactones as the active ingredients, of which kavain is most plentiful in noble kava root. By using their proprietary ChromaPure extraction technology, Real Botanicals can offer clean, intact kavalactones and a versatile format that’s sure to do exactly what you expect.
