New kava user.

I have tried Kava once before in the form of over priced kava from a glass shop. I had good luck with it but at 14 bucks for a single dose its not something im interested in trying again. As of late I have been having troubles with anxiety and sleep. My mind races and I cant manage to get a decent amount of shut eye. Ive started looking into kava again. I didnt have enough money in my paypal to order from an online vendor so I went the health food store route and got a bottle of 250mg 30% kavalactones capsuls and a bog of celebration herbals kava kava blend tea. All of the information online is so confusing to new kava users... 30% 70% different strains, extracts, noble, two day, and all of that. Given what I have on hand right now. What is the best method for use. Should I break these capsuls open and brew it with the tea? Should I just try the capsuls, just the tea or swallow the capsuls with the tea?

I got no replies so I decided to experiment on my own. I drank two cups last night. my first cup was around 8pm with one cap of the 30% emptied into my cup along with one tea bag. I did indeed feel the kava. My second cup was two bags and one cap. Best sleep ive had in weeks! I plan to adjust timing and experiment with two caps and one tea bag or just two caps alone.

Does the tea have any tea in it?

Keep at it. Keep buying little kava samples here and there and get a good feel of what you like. The gaia herbs caps are actually pretty decent. Not 100% the strength of traditional prep, but pretty close.
