How much is "heavy use"?

Hi. I've fairly new to kava, and I find it helps me get through difficult mornings. I'm not a coffee drinker, mostly due to anxiety issues, but I do definitely get a good start to the day if I take 2 tablespoons of kava mixed in an aluball, doing 2-3 washes. I am concerned about the possible effects on cholesterol and possibly liver issues. My question to some of the more experienced kava drinkers is, does 2 tablespoons maybe 5 days a week sound like a lot? I know the dose is low, but the amount of days concerns me a bit.

Hi welcome to kf, 2 tablespoons, 5 or 7 days a week is all good, just drink plenty of fluids to make up for the diuretic (kava).

There's "heavy use" and then there's "Krunky use" two totally different things ;)

Just curious…is 40 gms your daily limit? I didn’t know how much I was using so I weighed my 1/2 cup I use spread out throughout the day and discovered that it’s 80 gms. I weigh ~190 lbs …Is the kava effects influenced by body weight like alcohol? tia Kapn

40g is my nightly batch amount, and I never go over that.

I believe the same would apply here with body mass and strength, however there have been no studies on it.

I do 70-80 grams to a liter but i only drink kava twice a week. Ive tried more and around 90 the double vission and side effects negate most of the postive effects.
