Micronized in fat on a timer!

[Odourman]

Try mixing your micronized kava in a fatty liquid, like milk or almond milk, and let it sit in a bottle for about half an hour before you drink it. Shake it around some now and then...
Try it!

I like to have some lemon in my water afterward... it helps with digestion!

The idea is that this helps the kavalactones to be absorbed into the liquid. It helps the body to take them up.

maybe also add some probiotics as well...

Hmm, milk... good idea!

I think one can buy milk with probiotics?

And leaving it in the milk for a while seems to give a greater effect.

Another thing that I did once was to drink Apple cider vinager in a glass of cold water about 15 minutes before drinking the Kava.

I've been telling people for the last couple of years to drink their kava with milk. I haven't mentioned soaking it in milk before preparing though, could well make a difference. I find just a splash, maybe a 3rd or a quarter of your total liquid, makes a big difference. Also not sure if it's more extraction or something to do with potentiation?

Short of drinking undiluted Apple vinegar, cola is about the most acidic thing you can buy to drink. The pH level of soda is approximately 2.5. So you might try drinking Coca Cola after or before your kava.
When I do it I drink a little before and a little after, light. Not much because of coffein.

I tried with all milk and it does make it more potent, in a heavy way.

The soaking was by mistake, I had to go away and left it. I believe it softens the fiberd and extracts the kavalactones in some way.

You need to cover it up in a bucket or bottle in the fridge.

When you have an instant, mix it with only milk in a bottle and shake it. Keep it in the fridge.
I feel that it works on some instants more than others. I did not feel that it made nakamal at homes instant stronger, but it makes Kava Kings instants stronger.

I did find this text on Kava Kings page:
"Once Kava hits liquid, it immediately starts losing its potency. Liquid above certain temperatures break down the active ingredients that give Kava its calming effects faster than in colder liquids."
That's why you need to have it in the fridge I guess.
