Kava threshold dose

[aviavieu]

Out of curiosity, what is the threshold dose of Kavalactones? Especially Kavain.

 

[The Kap'n]

The medically active dose of kavalactones is 250mg per day.

In terms of what you can feel, I'd say you're probably going to need approaching 100mg of kavalactones at a time to feel just a little something.

There isn't an established minimum dosage for individual kavalactones at this time to my knowledge.

Threshold dose is in the milligrams. You can feel a "little something" from a tiny sip of Kava. I'm sure of this.

I would think this depends on a few things. Like what Kapm said, around 100mg you would feel something (technically) - but if you're preparing regular kava in which you can't measure the exact kavalactone percentage, it will depend entirely on the Kava you're making. Likely, 1 shell of any kava unless it's an absolute dud, would be enough to calm your nerves and get a bit of feeling.

I hear the Kava immediately. It doesn't take much. But you never know where it's going to get you.

This has been my experience. Hearing the Kava immediately.
