Best GHK Cultivar w/ least nausea

[ShredMN]

As the title states, what’s the best cultivar carried by GHK that has the least occurrence of nausea, lowest maka?

Love the effects of kava for relaxing after a long day, but I seem to wake up and have mild nausea throughout the whole next day. I’m thinking my stomach is having a hard time with the maka fibers.

Thanks much!

Are you drinking micronized or medium grind? If medium grind, do you have a strong fine strainer? Micronized can make some people more nauseous, even with the makas removed. Medium grind always has makas, no one makes reduced-maka medium grind, that's why the strainer is important. Maybe "lawena" would be good for you. Your best bet for GHK is probably Nene, Mo'i or Honokane 'Iki. Hiwa and Hanakapa'ai might be too nauseating for you.

Using medium grind and I have a wakacon strainer, not sure of the micron size so I just ordered a 50 micron bag to pour my grog through at the end of my prep.

50 is quite small, but for some people, that's exactly what they need. Expect a weaker beverage with a 50 micron strainer though.

Space your shells out more. Try the Kavafied strainer for everything. Knead it and drink it. I also had trouble with the wakacon strainer and the nausea went away when I switched to Kavafied.

Nene or moi.my girlfriend has a similar problem. If she drinks kava before lunch, her stomach will start hurting a couple hours later and it will last for the rest of the day too. Like if she drinks it at 12 the discomfort might hit her at like 3 or 4 o clock and last untill late in the evening. It's odd, because for me the nausea kicks in while im krunk, and only past that if I drink a crazy amount of heavy stuff. My girlfriend finds extracts or small amounts of micro cause fewer problems.

I think I found a solution in boiling my kava for a minute before straining and cooling. Boiling it turns it into a consistency where no sediment is able to pass through my strainer. Did it last night and had no nausea today.

i've struggled with nausea and my latest discovery is that certain kavas seem to leech certain electrolytes from my system, which makes me feel dehydrated and nauseous, even though i'm drinking a lot of water. so then i had a doctor friend tell me that the stuff in natural coconut water is about the same as an IV the hospitals use, which as anyone knows cures hangovers like magic. so i've been drinking coconut water 2 or so times per day and i've had WAAY less trouble with nausea than i have in a long while. so it seems like there may be something to that. my skin is less dry as well. if you feel that you're dehydrated even though you drink a lot of water, maybe try drinking a bit of pedialyte as well at the start. which seems to be almost an emergency fix.. although you don't want to over-do the pedialyte because it might cause an imbalance (i think it did with me). the coconut water seems a lot more gentle on my system and does the job wonderfully so far. i've been drinking it for a couple of weeks and i'm now able to go back and enjoy certain kavas that would make me feel sick before.
