I have been buying Borogu Kava for some time now and have been really enjoying it. Just recently I bough a pound of the Borogu Kava and its been giving bad diarrhea.
I wanted to know if something has changed with this strain of Kava, has anyone else had a similiar problem.

Well shit(literally) I think my pound of Borogu lands today and I was excited to make big batch up for my Friday have way more than the week night kava session. It landed today but I guess it will be dropping tonight!

It is not improbable that there is some sub-standard or contaminated kava around if it originates from Vanuatu after the cyclone. The safest course would be to only buy from the vendors regarded as reputable on this site.

I am sorry for the delayed response, I purchased the Borogu Kava from BKH. I spoke with the owner of BKH Judd. He explained to me that nothing has changed with the Borogu Kava.
I also asked if Borogu Kava is a noble Kava, and said yes it is. I was wondering if there might be tudei mixed in but I was told that the kava is noble.
It was kinda weird, I purchased 3 bags of this strain and never had these problems.

If I was you I would definitely send a sample to Deleted User, if for no other reason than peace of mind. Kava is meant to be a source of relaxation, not anxiety that you may be harming your self.

@zencuts I'm terribly sorry about your experience. As I wrote in our emails, nothing has changed with our Borogu. It is from the same harvest as other batches that have been tested as free of contaminants and noble.

The fact is, we don't know what caused your symptoms. I think many people, including myself can attest that strong kava has made them a little "loose" on occasion, if you will. Also, this kava is finely ground, which tends to be rough on some people. Just because kava is an amazingly positive substance doesn't mean that for some people it doesn't come with some possible side effects. It's also quite possible that something completely unrelated caused your symptoms, and that you also just happened to be drinking kava at the time. We just can't say.

What I can say is that we strive for quality as our number one priority. As @Deleted User wrote, a single case report like this is not indicative of a quality problem.

Please keep in mind that we are one of the three biggest online retailers of kava. We also have a kava bar where we serve all of our products. That gives me a huge sample and this complaint is the first I've heard. Of course that doesn't help your tummy, @zencuts so if this is still causing discomfort after the suggestions I gave in my email, let me know and I'll find a way to make it up to you. I'll get you the right kava for you.

@Crunked, not only are we regarded as a reputable vendor on this site (see reviews), we are reputable all over the internet and the kava world. The reviews on forums all over the Web, on our site, and for our kava bar are overwhelmingly positive. I don't say we're one of the best because I think so. I do because our loyal customers tell us we are.

At the time I suggested that the OP only buy kava from reputable vendors, the OP had not disclosed who the vendor was and there are plenty of vendors who sell Borogu.

Okay. Just figured you knew since it was posted on our subforum. Thanks for the clarification. Have a good one!
