That supports the "wet cement" taste from the earlier post.I recently had a mold taken of my teeth with the clay substance and to me that is what Kava taste like.
On a side note I am doing the instant tonight and so far going well, much, much, better than the fiasco I had with the stone, that stuff is no joke and not to be played with
I might have missed it in another post, but what Instant are you using?I have only done half the recommended dose of what the instant calls for ....
Welcome!New to using kava... Boy I was gagging like drinking cheap tequila today. I am replacing my pain meds with kava... I am experimenting with dosage of the powder though...
At first, Kava was pretty hard for me to swallow. I had to chase it with some juice. However, now I enjoy the taste -- especially the lighter ones like Cactus Lao Lowana. The hardest one for me to drink so far is Stone. It has a pretty aggressive component to it that I understand is more of the "peppery" side of Kava.New to using kava...

I just get instant from ghk and use gel caps and a packer. Cram about five of those down your gullet and your off. If your a bull head and need a lot of kava, this can be a bit costly. Powder city has some cheap, but usable ones. http://www.powdercity.com/products/encapsulation-kit
Powder city BTW went out of business due to some dummy killing himself by overdosing on what I think was powdered caffeine...I just get instant from ghk and use gel caps and a packer.

It's not true that FKB is absent in traditionally prepared kava, although they are low enough that you shouldn't really worry. It is true that FKB is not water soluble, but kava also contains suspended particles that contain all the same stuff in the root including FKB. In fact FKB levels have been measured in instant kava (which is deyhdrated traditionally prepared fresh kava) and are similar to levels in medium grind. (They can actually be higher in instant depending on the processing method)@verticity would know better than I do, but I think I've heard that this can lead to the ingestion of Flavokawain B (a hepatoxic compound) that would be absent in the traditionally prepared beverage. That being said, many have consumed lots of micro and lived along with their liver to tell the tale, so maybe I'm overhyping the risk.
