What is magnesium?
Magnesium is an essential mineral, meaning your body needs it and gets it from food. It shows up in everyday ingredients like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. It is one of the more common minerals people recognize from nutrition labels.
In Uchie, magnesium is one part of a deliberate recipe. We include it to round out the blend and the character of the drink, and we talk about it the way we talk about any ingredient in a beverage, as a choice we made for the final can.
Why does Uchie combine kava with magnesium?
Because we wanted Uchie to feel like a considered, modern kava seltzer rather than a one-note kava soda. Kava brings the heritage and the easygoing, social character. Magnesium is part of how we round out the blend into something that feels complete.
It is also a genuine point of difference. No other sparkling kava brand pairs kava with magnesium and L-theanine the way we do, so this combination is uniquely Uchie.
How much magnesium is in Uchie?
The exact amount is printed on the can, which is always the best reference for the batch in your hand. We keep the recipe consistent and taste every batch before it ships.
Because Uchie is a beverage and not a supplement, we keep the focus on flavor and enjoyment rather than dosing. Enjoy it as you would any sparkling drink, and check the label for specifics.
Is a kava and magnesium drink right for you?
If you like the idea of a low-sugar sparkling seltzer built on noble kava, with magnesium and L-theanine rounding out the blend, Uchie is made for you. It is a non-alcoholic option for unwinding, clear-headed, after work or in social settings.
As with any kava drink, it is for adults 18+, not for use if pregnant or breastfeeding, and should not be combined with alcohol. If you have liver concerns or take medication, ask a healthcare professional before use.
