Hello! I’m new to Kava Forums and a novice when it comes to Kava, in general. About a month ago, I purchased a 1oz. jar of Kona Kava’s Full Spectrum 55% extract paste from Kava.com and have used about half of it, so far, and have felt no effects from it. I knew something was up after my 1st dosing, but continued to use it, as I had paid $70 USD for it. After learning (through this forum) that KK is not a reputable brand, despite being made in an FDA-approved lab w/ GMP certification - which, of course, made me feel like it was an ok place to start for a more potent Kava product - some questions were raised. I’ve tried Gaia Herbs’ formulation in the past & felt nothing, as well (I’m under the impression they’re a reputable brand, but, again, no effects were felt) Anyway, there’s so much conflicting information on the web about contaminated herbal products on the web (heavy metals, etc.) that I’m at a bit of a loss.
So, my first question is: has KK’s products made anyone sick, especially from the Gold, or Full Spectrum 55% extract paste? Or, has it been more of a reduced potency issue? And, secondly, what’s a good instant formulation to give me a better idea of what high quality kava is supposed to feel like?
There’s plenty to read on this forum (which I intend to do), but any direct feedback would be helpful.
Thanks!
