Hawaiian kava, ready when you are
Kava has been shared across Oceania for more than two thousand years as the drink of gathering and of quieting down. Ease brings it into a gummy you can keep in your bag for the end of a long day, with no bowl and no cold leftover tea.
Ease gummies hold 50 mg of kavalactones each, from solventless Hawaiian kava rosin, Hawaiian mango and local cane juice. Grown, formulated and made on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Vegan, 10 gummies per pouch.
“Tastes great (a little tingling at first) and noticeable within 15 minutes.”

Traditionally used for
Calm
A settled body and an easeful mind, the way Pacific Island herbalism has always valued kava.
Unwinding
Letting go of the day and easing stress, without the fog.
Restful sleep
Quieting the mind and relaxing the body before bed.
Loosening tension
Soothing a tight, tired body after a long day.
Gathering
Shared from a communal bowl to open ceremony and welcome guests.
Peacemaking
Traditionally poured to settle disputes and bring people back together.

Grown on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi
Our kava (Piper methysticum) is Hawaiian-grown. We use only the waka, the root itself, the part Pacific Islanders have always chosen, and never the leaves or stems. It is pressed into a rosin with heat and pressure alone, no chemical solvents at any stage, so what reaches you stays close to what the plant offers. Why we use only the waka root

A plant of gathering
Across Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Hawaiʻi, where it is called ʻawa, kava root is traditionally pounded, steeped in water and shared from a communal bowl. It opens ceremony, marks hospitality and settles disputes. It has always been a plant for coming together and for quieting down.
How to use
Start with one gummy. Most people notice something within 15 to 30 minutes. A brief tingling on the tongue is normal, that is the kavalactones making contact. How to use kava gummies
Pairs with Dream (Blue Lotus) for the evening. Add any two of our gummies and $10 comes off automatically.

The pathways: what the research examines
Kavalactones are the compounds most associated with kava's character, which is why we measure and state them. Pharmacological research has focused on several pathways:
-
GABA-A receptor modulation. Kavalactones appear to act as positive allosteric modulators at GABA-A receptors — part of the nervous system's own quieting machinery. They bind at a site distinct from the benzodiazepine site.
-
Voltage-gated ion channels. Several kavalactones show activity at voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, one proposed route for the muscle-settling quality kava is known for.
-
Monoamine oxidase B. Some kavalactones show reversible MAO-B inhibition in laboratory conditions.
-
Kavain and dihydrokavain are among the best characterised of the six major kavalactones.
This is mechanistic research describing how compounds behave in the body. It describes pathways, not outcomes, and it is not a claim that this product treats any condition.
Common questions
How many kavalactones are in each gummy?
50 mg per gummy, 10 gummies per pouch.
What does it taste like?
Sweet mango, with a brief tingle on the tongue.
Where is the kava grown?
On the Big Island of Hawai'i, where the gummies are also formulated and made.
How is the kava extracted?
As rosin, using heat and pressure only — no chemical solvents.
Why waka root?
Waka is the lateral root, traditionally regarded as the most desirable grade. Read why we use only waka root.
