Leilo Canned Kava Review
6/14/20232 min read


Today we are bringing a review of Leilo beverages!! Leilo was started by Sol after traveling to Fiji and experiencing kava firsthand in 2018. The company started with their relaxing sparkling kava beverages “calm in a can,” and has since ventured into launching their new kava shots for relaxation or sleep.
.
We tried their sparkling kava drink in some delicious flavors including Blackberry Orange, Lemon Ginger, Tango Berry, Raspberry Hibiscus and their sugar free lite version of Pineapple Mango Coconut. The flavors were amazing!! Heidi’s favorite was Blackberry Orange and Charles’ was Lemon Ginger. We aren’t big artificial sweetener fans, so we love that these were sweetened naturally with sugar and stevia, as well as using fruit and vegetable juice for coloring, such a win! These cans come with a hefty dose of 750mg kava extract plus anywhere from 75-100 mg L-theanine for a great combination providing maximum relaxation and stress release.
.
Leilo also recently launched their new kava shots in their berry flavor for relaxing or sleeping. The purple relax shot is a 321mg blend of kava extract, L-theanine, gamma aminobutyric acid (gaba), and magnesium. We thought this provided a great pre sleeping relaxing effect that won’t knock you out but definitely helps wind you down and calm your mind as you prepare for the end of your day. The blue sleep shot is a 224mg blend of kava, theanine, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), magnesium, and melatonin. This was a great extra boost of sleepy time prep with the added melatonin. Our only hit on these shots is that they are proprietary blends that don’t let you know exactly how much kava, melatonin, theanine and GABA you are getting.
.
Lastly, Leilo offers Luna, their nighttime Blueberry Chamomile patent pending blend of kava and melatonin. With 1mg melatonin, 417mg kava extract, 75mg serine, 75mg tryptophan, and 50mg theanine, this worked really well for Charles to ease off into a smooth sleep.
