What is Kava Herbal?

Kava Herbal is a brand of fat burners, which features the South Pacific herb, Kava. This herb has been used in drinks including teabags and is thought to be a ‘natural, herbal weight loss remedy’ in pill form. This pill claims to suppress the appetite and boost metabolic rate to help users to consume less and increase calorie burn rate.

Kava is also thought to be useful for lessening stress and anxiety, encouraging sleep and as pain relief, due to its relaxant and narcotic properties.

People are more acceptable to buy herbal drugs instead of using drugs with chemical ingredients, but just because Kava is a herb, it will not automatically make a product safe. This is problematic. People may possibly think that not only are herbal products safer, but also that they are beneficial to wellbeing. Most people may not think about making enquiries into unwanted effects and hazards if they think the product is a herbal remedy. This may be a dangerous error in judgement. Side effects related to this pill definitely need to be made known.

Side Effects

* Risk of liver problems which results in the requirement for liver transplants in a few users.
* Low protein levels
* Muscle weakness
* Respiratory complaints
* Light-headedness
* Visual disturbances
* Scaly skin
* Dilated pupils
* Dry mouth
* Head pain
* Nausea

Conclusion

Clearly the name ‘herbal’ on a product’s packaging doesn’t always mean risk free. Like many other herbs and plants, there are risks to health connected with Kava.

Undesirable results have proved to be so dangerous that Canada and the UK restricted the sale of Kava in 2002 and 2003. This was after investigations could not indicate which groups of people are more susceptible from Kava reactions use and so it was not believed that label warnings would be of any use. The FDA has also issued several warnings about Kava. The primary worry is definitely the unpredictable risk of liver damage with Kava use. Some episodes have led to the requirement of liver transplants and worse than this is the potential for fatalities.

The question users need to ask themselves would be: is it really worth the risk?. Being a few pounds lighter just isn’t worth seriously damaging your health for, especially since there are other options available, which eliminate, or minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

Consumers are advised not to use Kava Herbal as a weight loss plan due to these serious risks to health. Instead, users should opt for different weight loss systems which include a healthy eating plan and regular exercise regimes, as plans like these have been confirmed as the most reliable and successful for dieters.
