Kava tablets on sale and are they any good?

from w
I think kavakava tablets have been around for some time but a new one is being promoted a lot on Ausralian TV at present. It is just called Kava tablets and I thought this was really funny because the 'real thing' is so different. I wondered how much kava is needed for just one bottle - which sells for about $26 on the TV I think.
They say that this one can do marvellous things!  Hmm I wonder or is the placebo effect - believe in it and it will work.
