5. FDA Advisory Issued (March 25, 2002)
FDA ADVISED CONSUMERS AGAINST THE USE OF KAVA BECAUSE OF
POTENTIAL RISK OF SEVERE LIVER DAMAGE
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers of the potential risk
of severe liver injury associated with the use of kava-containing dietary
supplements. Supplements containing the herbal ingredient kava are promoted for
relaxation (e.g., to relieve stress, anxiety, and tension), sleeplessness, menopausal
symptoms and other uses. FDA has not made a determination about the ability of
kava dietary supplements to provide such benefits. Although liver damage appears
to be rare, FDA believes consumers should be informed of this potential risk.

9. Users’ Experiences With
Stress Relief Complex*
I did find that, after taking
Stress Relief Complex, I
experienced less tension
and that I was able
accomplish more than
usual.* Sometimes I put
myself under so much
pressure that I feel
overwhelmed - but not with
Stress Relief Complex*! I
really felt that I could
manage the
everyday pressures
better.*
After a week of taking Shaklee's Stress Relief Complex, I felt
much calmer than usual when handling
some unusually stressful situations*: my
husband had a sudden serious health problem, taxes were
due, we had a swarm of bees invade our house, and I
performed in a choir musical last weekend. The thing I
noticed most during this period of extra stress was the ability
to cope with it all much more effectively than I usually would.*
- N. Burtch (Phoenix, AZ)
This last week was very
stressful and busy for me, and I
had little time to pay attention to
myself. While I was taking the
Stress Relief Complex,
however, I noticed that I
seemed to worry less
about my everyday
stressful situations than
I usually do.* It enabled me to
handle the occasional stress
much more easily.*
