Kava capsules tested as a mobility aid for seniors over 70
NCT ID NCT07219186
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test whether a special form of kava (AB-free kava) can improve mobility and physical function in adults over 70 who have mild sleep problems and are somewhat inactive. Forty participants will take either kava capsules or a placebo daily for a period, and researchers will measure walking speed, strength, balance, and sleep quality. The goal is to see if this supplement offers a safe way to help older adults stay active and independent.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AB-free kava (a kava extract without potentially harmful compounds)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement to help older adults maintain mobility and sleep quality.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small pilot study with only 40 participants. It may not show clear benefits, and kava products have been linked to liver concerns in the past.
