Kava Extract Price Increase, Plus Popular Supplement Ingredient Insights

Kava Extract Price Increase

Currently, the price of kava extract raw materials is on the rise. Kava extract comes from the root of the Piper methysticum, a plant commonly found in the South Pacific islands, including Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Samoa. This plant is highly regarded in traditional culture and herbal medicine for its calming, relaxing, and stress-relieving properties.

The root of the kava plant contains unique active compounds called kavalactones, which are primarily responsible for its calming and anti-anxiety effects.

Due to the rising cost of raw materials, kava extract price is also likely to increase in the future. Nutri Avenue’s kava extract powder is made from imported raw materials, ensuring a quality advantage for our powder products.

This week, the market price of kava extract with 30% kavalactones content is no less than $300/kg.

Kava extract is typically used in the following types of products:

1. Dietary Supplements: Kava extract is often used in supplements to help relieve stress anxiety, and improve sleep due to its calming and anti-anxiety effects.
2. Functional Foods and Beverages: Some wellness drinks and functional foods include kava extract to promote relaxation and stress relief, especially for leisure and relaxation-focused products.
3. Herbal Medicine Products: Kava extract is an herbal ingredient used in botanical remedies or natural therapy formulas to support mood health and improve emotional well-being.
4. Skincare Products: Due to its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, kava extract is also used in some skincare products, especially those targeting inflammation and skin soothing.
