Kudzu Root Extract Powder (4oz / 114g) 20:1 Concentrated Extract

Very fine powder, seems to have a relaxing and calming effect. I have been experimenting with it to reduce alcohol withdrawals, and it seems to help. I have yet to come up with an 'optimal dose' as I am a bit new to this extract. I have an encapsulation "machine" (a plastic unit called "the Capsule Machine") ... but I don't know how much is in each capsule, (weight-wise) so it's just a guessing game I suppose.However, I will keep at it, maybe try a slightly higher dose ... Perhaps I need a digital scale?

Although a bit expensive, but the quality is premium. Subscribed some more.

I like that this is a non gmo product so there are no pesticides or chemicals as I had recently tried kudzu from another company and I broke out with pimples . I put the powder in capsules when I don't have the time to drink it in a glass of water which is bearable for me. It helps with menopausal symptoms and inflammation and made my life easier. Revisiting my review, I now put a teaspoon in in 4 oz of water and use a battery operated frother to blend it. Its easy to drink.

So, I'm not sure if this will keep up, but I'm partially using this for what I've heard about it helping controlling alcohol cravings. When I don't have alcohol in my place in the evening it is almost like I have a panic attack or something and I can't stop myself from going out to buy more. I also have trouble stopping once I start drinking. I took my first dose with dinner and its been a couple hours and I don't feel the way I usually do.

I have been taking this kudzu supplement for a little over 2 weeks to help with my beer cravings. Though it did indeed help lower my cravings for beer during the day, I recently had a checkup with my doctor and blood work done. My results came back and my liver enzymes had jumped significantly since my last checkup a year ago. My AST went from 16 to 49 and ALT from 32 to 59. My drinking habits really hadn't changed over the past year. After some thorough research, I found some studies on the kudzu root leading to hepatotoxicity in lab rats. The rats were given very small doses (5-100mg a day) for 30 days. One scoop of this particular brand is a whopping 2500mg! Now, I am obviously no doctor, and I can't say for sure that this supplement is causing my liver enzymes to spike, but I discontinued use of it today. I have another checkup in 30 days where we will do more lab work to assess what's going on.Please, consult your doctor if you are considering taking this supplement and monitor your liver enzymes!

Very good value for the price. Powdered form of Kudzu takes a little more effort to ingest, but it dissolves quickly in hot tea, or coffee. Actually I don't think it tastes bad at all, but it is a distinct taste if you just eat it straight. The higher concentration makes it easy to adjust the dosage, but the packaging is difficult to get sealed after repeated openings. Will definitely buy again.Highly recommend as a price to value product.

This product arrived quickly. I have been taking it for a few weeks and it has notably helped with my liver function (based on drinking too much one Mardi Gras parade and then not having a hangover) and seems to have perhaps helped with some hormone balance as well (based on monthly cycle changes and some reduction in my waistline). I have also been taking new probiotics and eating more vegan food, but I do feel like it has been a helpful component.

I have tried other kudzu in the past. The Samsara brand doesn’t feel as potent as the other brand. It could be scooping versus capsules, meaning dosage differences, not sure. I need to revisit the capsule form. The powder doesn’t dissolve very well in water. It sticks to the side of the glass and gets a little messy.
