Kava and calcium

[krunkedout]

I thought I remember someone saying that kava gets to the brain via the calcium channels or something like that. So would that mean that kava binds to calcium to hitch a ride to the brain? And if so to the above, would taking something with calcium in it potentate the effects of kava. Tonight before I finished the bowl I took to antacid tablets mostly to preven nausea because I threw up after a large sesh last night. But I must say I feel pretty krunk. More krunk them normal? A bit hard to say. But who knows, maybe there is something behind this.

No, it inhibits calcium channels, which cause cells to depolarize therefore inhibiting them sedates one.

Your in the right area but a smidge off is all, taking calcium won't do anything.

Thanks NDG! So how does the kava make it's way to the brain exactly?

Very good question.  I attached a small molecular camera to a kavalactone and captured this video of it waking its way from my tummy to my brain.
