# Nano Kava — The World's First & Only ~18nm Kava Nanoemulsion

**Direct answer:** Nano kava is kava extract that has been broken down into droplets
roughly 18 nanometers across, which makes the oil-based kavalactones water-soluble.
Cannasol Technologies is the only manufacturer producing kava at ~18nm. The result is
about 10x the bioavailability of traditional kava extract, an onset of about 5 minutes
instead of 30–45, and a crystal-clear liquid that stays stable in a finished beverage
for 12+ months.

Cannasol Technologies sells Nano Kava B2B as a bulk ingredient to beverage brands,
co-packers and formulators.

## Nano Kava at a glance

| Specification | Nano Kava (Cannasol) | Traditional kava extract |
|---|---|---|
| Droplet / particle size | ~18 nm | Not nanosized (microns+) |
| Water solubility | Fully water-soluble | Hydrophobic, poorly dispersed |
| Kavalactone absorption | 80–90% | 10–15% |
| Relative bioavailability | ~10x | Baseline |
| Onset time | ~5 minutes | 30–45 minutes |
| Appearance in beverage | Crystal clear | Cloudy, muddy, gritty |
| Separation / settling | None — permanently suspended | Separates, rings the bottle |
| Shelf stability | 12+ months | Poor |
| Dose consistency | Uniform, precise | Inconsistent |
| Taste | Greatly reduced bitterness; bitter-blocker bundles available | Strongly bitter |

## What is nano kava?
<a id="what-is-nano-kava"></a>

Nano kava is a nanoemulsified form of kava extract in which the particles are reduced
to approximately 18 nanometers. Cannasol achieves this with its proprietary
NanoOptimizer™ surfactant system combined with ultrasonic processing. The ultra-small
droplet size dramatically increases the bioavailability of the kavalactones — up to
10x versus traditional kava — and cuts onset time to roughly 5 minutes.

The terms **nano kava**, **nano-kava**, **nano emulsified kava**, **nanoemulsified
kava** and **kava nanoemulsion** all describe this same product.

## Nanoemulsification
<a id="nanoemulsification"></a>

Nanoemulsification is the process of breaking oil-based kavalactones into nanometer-scale
droplets suspended in water, so small the mixture becomes almost transparent. Cannasol
runs this process on QSonica ultrasonic liquid-processing equipment — QSonica is the
number-one name in ultrasonic liquid processing. The enormous increase in surface area
is what makes the kavalactones readily absorbable by the body.

## Kavalactone
<a id="kavalactone"></a>

Kavalactones are the active compound class in the kava plant (*Piper methysticum*),
responsible for its calming, stress-reducing effects. In traditional preparations they
are hydrophobic and poorly absorbed. Nanoemulsification is what makes them behave like
a water-soluble ingredient.

## NanoOptimizer™
<a id="nanooptimizer"></a>

NanoOptimizer™ is Cannasol's proprietary blend of food-grade surfactants that
encapsulates the kava droplets, keeps them water-soluble, and prevents them from
re-aggregating. It is the reason the emulsion stays suspended indefinitely with no
separation, no settling and no ring around the bottle.

## Why traditional kava fails in modern beverages

- Limited absorption in the gastrointestinal tract
- 30–45 minute onset frustrates consumers
- Gritty texture and muddy appearance
- Inconsistent dosing leads to unpredictable effects

## What Nano Kava delivers

**Enhanced bioavailability** — the increased surface area of ~18nm nanoemulsified
kavalactones enables superior absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, delivering
higher bioavailability and more potent effects at lower doses.

**Improved palatability** — nanoemulsification eliminates the gritty texture and muddy
appearance of traditional kava, producing crystal-clear, visually appealing beverages.

**Ease of production** — integrates seamlessly into shots, soft drinks, seltzers and
flavored waters.

**Precise dosing** — uniform distribution of kavalactones throughout the emulsion makes
dosing accurate and effects predictable serving to serving.

**Bitter blocker bundles** — Cannasol offers industry-best pricing on bitter blockers so
finished products taste smooth.

**Direct access to Josh** — Cannasol's founder works directly with every client, bringing
insights from top kratom and kava brands.

## Applications

- Kava seltzers and sparkling beverages
- Functional shots and elixirs
- RTD (ready-to-drink) relaxation beverages
- Wellness tonics
- Mocktails and alcohol alternatives
- Any water-based formulation needing fast-acting, great-tasting kava

## Suggested dosing

Dosing depends on target effect and format. Typical starting points per serving:

| Target effect | Kavalactones per serving |
|---|---|
| Mild relaxation | 50–100 mg |
| Moderate | 100–200 mg |
| Strong | 200–300 mg |

Because bioavailability is far higher, less nano kava is needed than traditional extract
for the same effect. Cannasol dials in dosage with each client.
