Category leader builds on KavaMaté™ momentum, giving consumers customizable ways to experience noble kava root

LAS VEGAS, NV – October 5, 2026 – Botanic Tonics, the leader in kava-centric botanical supplements, today announced the launch of feel free Kava, a new noble kava tonic shot designed to give consumers more ways to personalize their kava experience. The company will debut feel free Kava alongside two functional stick packs – feel free Focused Energy and Sleep – at the 2026 NACS Show, taking place Oct. 7 - 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The new offerings will begin launching nationwide in late 2026.

More Ways to Experience Noble Kava Root

feel free Kava joins Botanic Tonics’ successful portfolio of kava-centric products: its flagship tonic feel free CLASSIC, feel freeKavaMaté, and feel free capsules. All feel free products contain no synthetic active ingredients, no alcohol, and no chemical extracts. 

Ceremonially cherished throughout Pacific Island cultures for more than 3,000 years, noble kava root is traditionally associated with calm, relaxation, and social connection. As interest in mood enhancement supplements grows, consumers are seeking more ways to incorporate kava into their routines. Whether unwinding after a busy day or spending time with friends, feel free Kava offers moments of calm and connection.

Consumers and retailers have been asking for more ways to experience kava’s benefits across different occasions. Made with the same noble kava root found in feel free KavaMaté, feel free Kava and the new functional stick packs answer the call. The experience begins with feel free Kava: pair the tonic with the new functional stick packs to get the benefit you need, when you need it.

With extensive experience in sourcing, formulating, and manufacturing kava-centric products, Botanic Tonics oversees the journey from its vertically integrated supply chain in Vanuatu through production at its FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in Oklahoma. This farm-to-bottle expertise enables Botanic Tonics to deliver a consistently high-quality kava experience in a convenient, modern format.

Personalize Your feel free Experience 

feel free Kava provides a foundation of noble kava root, with the functional stick packs offering consumers the flexibility to choose an experience for their occasion:

  • feel free Focused Energy, featuring lion’s mane, L-Theanine, and Green Tea Caffeine

  • feel free Sleep, featuring magnesium bisglycinate, ashwagandha, and tart cherry

 “Kava is at the center of everything we do at Botanic Tonics. From our flagship feel free CLASSIC tonic to KavaMaté and now feel free Kava, we’re giving consumers more ways to enjoy noble kava root and personalize their experience,” said Cameron Korehbandi, CEO of Botanic Tonics. “There’s a reason why we’re the #1 best-selling kava brand in the U.S.: our deep experience in sourcing, formulating, and manufacturing allows us to deliver a consistently high-quality experience in formats that fit today’s consumer needs.”

 Experience the New Portfolio at NACS

NACS Show attendees can preview the new feel free products and meet with the Botanic Tonics team at booth C3880.

The Botanic Tonics Difference All feel free products contain no synthetic active ingredients, no chemical extracts, and are manufactured in the U.S. at an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility and undergo multiple quality and safety tests for consistency and compliance. Botanic Tonics continues to lead the energy and supplement category in education and transparency through extensive consumer education.
