Kava that behaves like water.
Nano Kava is a crystal-clear, 100% water-dispersible kavalactone nanoemulsion for canned and bottled beverages — mean particle size ~20 nm, 30 mg/mL kavalactone load, and 4–5x higher absorption than conventional kava powder. No haze, no sediment, no gritty mouthfeel.
Trusted by leading kava seltzer and shot brands.
Traditional kava preparations absorb poorly, feel gritty and cloud the can. That is a formulation problem long before it is a marketing one.
This cutting-edge process breaks down oil-based kavalactones into tiny droplets suspended in water—so small they become almost transparent, creating a stable and uniform mixture. Our proprietary NanoOptimizer™ surfactant system dramatically increases surface area, making kavalactones more readily available for absorption by the body.
The specs a formulator checks first, on one screen.
| Spec | Nano Kava | Conventional kava |
|---|---|---|
| Mean particle size | ~20 nm | 200–1,000 nm — settles, hazes |
| Water dispersibility | 100% water-dispersible | Hydrophobic, poorly dispersed |
| Kavalactone load | 30 mg/mL | Varies by extract |
| Relative absorption | 4–5x vs. conventional kava powder | Baseline |
| Appearance in beverage | Crystal clear | Cloudy, muddy, gritty |
| Separation / settling | Stays clear, stays suspended — no settling, no ringing | Separates, rings the bottle |
| Shelf stability | 12+ months | Poor |
| Dose consistency | Uniform and precise | Inconsistent |
| Taste | Minimal kava-characteristic taste | Earthy, offputting taste |
| Process requirement | Meter in and stir — no high-shear step | Pre-mix and high-shear typically required |
Nanoemulsification opens formats that were closed to kavalactones — shots, seltzers, flavoured waters — without the haze, the sediment or the grit that used to come with them.
Packaging kavalactones in ~20 nm particles multiplies surface area, so the body absorbs far more of what you put in — 4–5x conventional kava powder. You can formulate at roughly a quarter of a conventional dose.
Nanoemulsification eliminates the gritty texture and muddy appearance of traditional kava preparations, resulting in crystal-clear, visually appealing beverages your customers will love.
Our nanoemulsified kava extracts integrate seamlessly into various beverage formulations—shots, soft drinks, and flavored water—making kava consumption more convenient and enjoyable.
With uniform distribution of kavalactones throughout the nanoemulsion, dosing becomes remarkably accurate—ensuring consistent, predictable effects in every serving.
The kava nanoemulsion dissolves in with minimal kava-characteristic taste. For brands that want a cleaner finish, Bitter Blocker is sold separately at the best pricing in the industry.

Perfect For
The nanoemulsion is roughly 4–5x more bioavailable than powder-based kava, so conventional kava dosing does not apply. For most social tonics and seltzers Cannasol recommends 50–60 mg of kavalactone per serving.

That is the 1,000 L tier, currently extended to every customer to make development easy. No minimum to get started.
Ask Josh for a written quoteDrop-in simple: no high-shear equipment, no pre-mix and no heat step. Batch the beverage, meter in the emulsion, stir to disperse. That is the whole process.
It dissolves completely into the beverage with no cloud, no ring and minimal kava-characteristic taste.
