How Much?

[Steph]

I've been trying to break through RT. Have only been having kava once a day for a week. I've been using instant kava, about a heaping teaspoon to 2 teaspoons. Yesterday I received kava candy and kava drink from Kava Kalm. I had one of the candies and felt a little numbness of the tongue and a tiny bit of heaviness in my extremities. In about a half hour, I had one half bottle of the drink. This seemed to make no difference. Tonight I will be mixing up the instant with juice. I had one candy today, but that's all. Should I be having more kava during the day? I'm retired, so I don't have any time constraints. Also, I've been trying to eat at least three hours before kava. Since we went out to lunch today, It will be about 5 hours since I ate before I usually have my kava. So would you recommend more spread out over the day? Also, would you add more instant kava to the mix. I will be getting a micronized sample pack from GHK in a few days. Perhaps I'm rushing this, but I want to do this right. Please forgive me for any repetition I may have written.

Thanks
Steph

Steph, that's not really very much kava at all. When using instant, I use a tablespoon at a time, and with Kalm I consider one bottle to be good. Try taking more.

I also fast for at least four hours before having kava. What kind of instant are you using?
