Sleep Support

Insomnia is one of the most common symptoms raised with health providers by their patients.  Several key botanicals provide safe and effective sleep support and can be used as alternatives to conventional hypnotic sleep aides which are associated with numerous, undesirable side effects.

Note on Kava: As our label warning states, kava should not be used longer than one month and should not be combined with medications or alcohol.  The amount of kava in these formulas is very small, however given the history of kava associated with liver damage (possibly related to improper non-noble variety and plant part used, combination with medications and alcohol, presence of mold/aflatoxins), caution is recommended for protection of the patient and practitioner.  Gaia only uses the root plant part of noble varieties of kava sourced directly from farmers on Vanuatu and in whole form for correct identification and freshness, has an internal specification for validation of the noble varieties, and tests all raw material for mold, yeast, bacteria, and aflatoxins.*
