Mood lift and focus?

[gork]

Just curius waking up to have get the day going, a bit of hot coffee before tea. Noticed a dirt flavor to the coffee. I don't know how I missed the cup being dirty and having a bit of kava in it.
Anyone care to guess if the upbeat types (heady?) types like the 11year wakas or Hanakapi Ai's (GHK)and the upbeat cheery energetic kinds have something about them that leads improved mood and focus?
Just curius ^_^

That to. I meant more like: Huh I wonder what it is about certain kavas that seem to get me focused and motivated and upbeat.

MOI!






But seriously I don't find hankapi ai heady. The headiness may come from dopamine reuptake changes from certain lactones or maybe just the fact that small doses of gaba substances can improve focus. There's some research out there that posits that alcohol in small doses enhances performance in certain kinds of activities

Eua, TFR, Kula

Hmm...you might be onto something. Their's other things like that. a Small amount of black tea or coffe (for example) can help with focus. A llittle more tends to lend it self to brainstorming.

Eua, TFR, Kula

Yeah that's what I was asking, if their might be something in those kinds of Kava's that improves mood.

I really miss Eua and looking for something a closer to it than Akua. I liked Akua for it's own thing though ^_^ Btw what does TFR stand for Krunkster?

LOL Moi for me wasn't just 'heady' the two times I tried it was more like adding rocket fuel to my morning grog. As in: Warp factor 7, engage!. (In a Captain Picard Voice)
Where as EUA ERMG it just rocked. Not TO energetic but just right, I simply don't know if it's something like a small amount might help a bit with a staying clear headed and focused...well like Ginseng does.
I was just curius if their might be a compound or something in those that might help a bit with focus. ^_^

Edit OH! Tungan Fam Reserve? the reviews for it amuse me for some reason. lol

I don't like to rely on Kava in the morning. I have found that a super drink consisting of Green tea with Ghee (as fat source) and Brain Octane will keep me going for almost the whole day. Improved mood, energy and zest for life.

I use:

I start to sip on my Kava around 2pmish, usually a Kula/Eua mix. Fijian Kavas make me tired so I stay away from those in the daytime.

Krunkaroo tossed out one I simply didn't know existed: Tungan Family Reserves. I heart Tungan Kava's , the ones i've had put me in a happy can do kind of giggly but relaxed place. On a quest to find something a bit more like Eua than Akua was for that might do the trick.

Thank you Krunkaroo for that idea!

It's looking like a toss up to try that or GHK's Mahakea, their Kumakua next.
Bulla!

appologies didn't know a enthusiastic nod to someone was considered spam. ^_^ lol well it's still true. Thanks for the idea. I had no idea something in some of the upbeat(heady) kinds are suspected to help dopamine.
