FAQ

Kava is a plant from the South Pacific islands. Indigenous people there have used the roots of the kava plant for a long time to aid in relaxation, and also for other effects. When you drink kava, it affects the GABA receptors in the brain in a way that can make you feel calm, relaxed, and happy. Kava comes in different forms like powder, tea, or ready-to-drink tonics, and it’s enjoyed at social gatherings or for a quiet moment alone. It’s popular because people note getting relaxation without feeling foggy or sleepy.

To enjoy GÜD Tonics safely and effectively, start with one quarter to one half of a bottle to see how it affects you, as each bottle contains about two servings. Remember, you can always take more, but you can’t go back and take less. Always start with a smaller amount to understand how it makes you feel when you try a new substance for the first time. This approach helps ensure you enjoy the benefits of the tonic comfortably and safely.

GÜD Tonics, like many botanical beverages, may offer potential benefits. While we don’t make health claims due to FDA regulations, ingredients in GÜD Tonics are often appreciated for their traditional uses. For instance, ingredients like kava have been used to help with relaxation and stress relief. People also use such tonics to feel more centered and calm. Remember, everyone’s experience with botanical tonics can be different, so it’s good to pay attention to how you feel after using them.

Enjoying GÜD Tonics responsibly is easy! It’s best to start with a small amount, like half a bottle, to see how you feel. Always use GÜD Tonics as part of a balanced lifestyle. Remember, GÜD Tonics are meant to complement your daily routine, so enjoy them when you have time to relax and experience their full effect. Also, it’s a good idea to check with a healthcare professional if you have specific health conditions or dietary concerns.
