these effects contribute to kava's sleep-inducing and anxiolytic properties.[4] Kava consumption has been associated with low cancer incidence,[5] but one of its constituents has been shown to stimulate the growth of melanoma cells.[6] Several clinical trials indicate that kava is superior to placebo for reducing anxiety.[7,8] However, reports of hepatotoxicity have led to restrictions on the use of kava-containing products.[9,10] Possible mechanisms for kava's hepatotoxicity include inhibition of cytochrome P450, reduction in liver glutathione content, and inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) activity.[10,11] Nonetheless, recent studies using aqueous extracts of kava suggest that it is a safe and efficacious anxiolytic agent.[12,13] Further, case analyses of 14 patients with hepatic injury resulting from kava use revealed low quality products, overdose, prolonged use, and co-medication as the causative factors.[14] Additional studies are needed
