do the kava candies work?

[Ryan Hovis]

I was thinking about ordering some of the kava candy. Do they work well? How do they effect you compared to traditional kava?

funny you would ask. its been about 6 months ago, but one evening when I ran out of medium grind. I put kava Candy to the test. LOL. Here is what I did. I took a coffee grinder and ground up, about 2 boxes of candy (16 pieces). I then mixed it in with a little juice, and gave it a stir. next, I slammed the grog, I had made. It was quit tasty. It did end in a nice medium crunk.

I was quit happy with the results. Now, is it as strong as grog, per piece? No. But the nice thing about the candy is, you don't always need a heavy crunk to eliminate stress. So, I find that the candy works good, in situations, when getting crunked is not applicable. Such as at work, or at a event.

So to answer your question, yes they work well. But it would take quit a few of them to equal a regular kava. But for the price, I find that they are worth it. I often order the Candy. My wife really loves it. She like to suck on them during her work outs. I also like them when I am working hard, and getting crunked, would slow me down. Much Love Roaddog....

I love the candies for a nice little pick me up at work. and I always have a pack of them with me when I travel

They work, but powdered root is more cost effective if thats your angle.

Thank so much for the reply everyone. Just ordered some

I like the candies - one is perfect during the day for work (and maybe another when it gets close to quitting time).

Thanks all for the comments and awesome test @Roaddog . I will have to try that one. Yep most people I hear from tend to like the kava candy as a little pick me up at work to take the edge off at work so you guys are right on about that...not like a potent powder but good for other situations where you need to stay more or less functional.

1 - good for walking into a social situation/at work
2 - good for relaxing at home
3 - taken right before bed = good for sleep

8-12 = good for a 'meditative' experience

Yes, they work. I just tried some for the first time. I've been taking them throughout the day. I'm on #7 right now, and am feeling quite nice, very calm with a slight euphoria. I just let them dissolve under my tongue and it kicks in within about 10/15 minutes. I'm about to go fishing and take another pack with me.

If you're on the fence, I'd say take the leap and order a sample pack, but trust me, you're going to want more than one pack! I ordered six packs, and am now tempted to go ahead and get a case or two...
