Kava Enthusiast
In the health food store, they sell these single-serving packets of powder, full of electrolytes, and usually fruit-flavored.
So, that gave me an idea, that was two-fold in its goal.
First, I thought, if I could subtly add electrolytes to my kava, it will keep my hydrated, since that's what electrolytes do, and hence, it may prevent or reduce nausea. Secondly, since they have a nice fruity flavor, it might make the kava taste more tolerable, and perhaps even pleasant taste.
The results were not at all what I expected.
First, after I mixed it in a shaker bottle, there was a separation. The kava appeared to have 3 levels of separation. ( I can post a pic of that )
Then, after drinking exactly my normal amount of kava, I felt about 3 times more krunk than usual. More krunk than ever.
However it didn't end there. Unlike my normal session, the effects continued to multiply for hours after that, even though I had stopped consuming.
So, this "heavy krunk" feeling began to build to the point of being "over-krunked" to where it was actually unpleasant, and then onto the point that
I started to feel sick. And then sicker. But it wasn't "nausea" sick. Apparently the electrolytes did their job of preventing the nausea.
But kind of like the feeling when you drink too much alcohol.
I began to feel dizzy. Began to "almost" feel like I would pass out. Though I wasn't quite at that level of feeling. Just close to it.
And just strange sensations in my head. Best way I could describe it is like feverish.
I suddenly felt the need to lay down, and put an ice pack on my head. Eventually that made it better.
But the whole experience was strange. Did the electrolytes (or perhaps some other 'inactive' ingredient) actually over-potentiate the kava ?
Or could the whole experience be just a coincidence and unrelated to the packet I added ?
Below is a link to the actual product and its ingredient listing.
I'm curious if anyone with more of a deeper understanding can tell me what happened and why ?
