Years ago there was a report of some liver health issues connected with kava use that led to kava restrictions in some countries (never in the US). Subsequent studies have proven traditional kava to be safe and has led to the end of almost all kava restrictions. Kava has been enjoyed regularly by the people of the South Pacific for thousands of years and there is no evidence that people in these cultures suffer higher than normal levels of liver problems.

There is no law that requires someone be of a certain age to drink kava, but keep in mind that kava does have physiological effects.

We at Bula Kava House are not doctors and are therefore not qualified to answer this question. We recommend that pregnant women interested in drinking kava consult a physician first.
