Bobby. The FDA does note that kava kava has been associated with rare, but severe liver problems. You must discuss this with your physician as those who drink or are on medications may be at higher risk. Please know that I am not trying to tell you what to do but please be safe with "dietary supplements". I have seen interactions that are considered to be rare, but they do happen. Plus your age does impact your livers ability to process chemicals.

Most people say it takes two weeks to a month to feel real benefits while some said they felt better that day. May be placebo effect. Few clinical trial data are available but I will look further.

Be safe
