    Kavalactone, lactones=Lactic acid buildup?

    Verticity! Woah, your response is not only informed, intelligent and interesting, but it seemed to answer my question and then some. You have apparently taken this moment to write a scholarly essay on the matter! Thank you sooooo much. I wanted to add that the feeling of muscle soreness...

    Kavalactone, lactones=Lactic acid buildup?

    Just curious if anyone else has this issue... I get the feeling that my kava consumption is increasing muscle soreness, tightness, and wasting. I am a thin man of 41 years old. I have always been thin and I have fibromyalgia. It is has been speculated that fibro is actually an inability to...

    Fiji Vanua Kava

    I go from relaxed to panic attack if I overdo any kava. This was from Loloma waka. It is pretty strong above 5 tbps for me.

    Fiji Vanua Kava

    well, this stuff has thrown me into full blown panic attack last night. Similar to THC. That is a sign it is too strong for me @ 6 tbsp as well.

    Fiji Vanua Kava

    I have never woke up refreshed. Always a bit hungover. If I am lucky it fades by afternoon. That Tongan sounds nice though!

    Fiji Vanua Kava

    Thanks for the reply! How does the tongan compare in effect? It seemed a bit pricier, but maybe he can cut a deal at 10lb? Bula!

    Fiji Vanua Kava

    I just received 20lbs of Loloma waka from Fiji Vanua Kava. The price was amazing at 600 dollars. That is 30 dollars a lb! I thought I should review it. I was getting premium and AAA waka and Vanuatu from Best Fiji Kava and though I like their kava and will continueto buy it, FVK kava seems...

    Foam in Urine After Imbibing?

    Hey yall, I have a strange symptom of passing foamy urine after and while drinking kava (1/4 cup of root nightly). Does anyone else have this? I know that can be a sign of kidney malfunction. It doesn't happen if I don't drink kava. Maybe it because I am peeing more forcefully? IDK, it...

    TOXIC Methysticin levels in kava?

    I appreciate the informed replies. I am not super informed about the effects of individual kavalactones. You are right, I am now reading positive effects of methysticin. I read it causes cell death in cancerous tumors. Pipermethystine is the one that is concerning. Supposedly it isn't in...

    TOXIC Methysticin levels in kava?

    I drink kava nightly, going on two years now. I am concerned about the kavalactone adverse health effects, are you? I am not really understanding exactly how toxic it is and what levels are in the root. Is it safe to ingest this daily or am I unknowingly killing my liver/life...

    THANKS FOR THE TIPS! I don't know which kava is less sedating and more heady, but will look into it. I take all three because I like the effect :) Kindly, Dooooogalas!

    Kava strain/brand with the least hangover?

    Thanks for the replies. The hangovers I get from kava are about 1/2 that of alcohol. It mainly feels like I can't wake up and I am super sluggish. I deal with anxiety, so the plus side is that it kinda keeps that at bay while hungover LOL. Intrepidus_dux, I have no poopie issues...

    Kava strain/brand with the least hangover?

    Last night I tried kalm with kava's boronguru (*7tbps) and I have suffered an all day can't get out of bed type of hangover. It is not worth the effects by far. I also mix with kanna and K@. I am sure that adds to the hangover. I am curious if any one on this forum has a...

    Sticky residue on strainer bag???

    Thanks recentreturn for the reply. Here is what I just wrote on a new thread...... It states where I got the kava. Are you familiar with them? Well, I made a post early about concerns about this batch of kava I just got. 30lbs in fact. I previously ordered 20lbs from this company...

    Sticky residue on strainer bag???

    Thanks all for the replies. Strange, I have never had sticky kava before! I did taste the sticky residue on the bag and it numbed my mouth! Here is the other question. This particular kava literally smells of black pepper and cinnamon. Is that normal?

    Sticky residue on strainer bag???

    I have used the same brand kava for a year... I just bought a finer micron nylon mesh bag at 55 micron. I am noticing this extremely sticky residue on the bag after use. It doesn't appear to be melting the nylon or anything. I am pretty sure it is the kava itself. Am I wasting the good...
