I must have RT going on because I just started Kava back up again and i have used a whole teaspoonful with no effect on an empty stomach....any tips? at this rate I will use up the 20 gram container in less than a week.

No offense to paradise, I know their products are held to extremely high standards and are of noble origin, but I have never really felt anything close to a kava drinking session with extract. I have purchased it many times at different periods and different flavors. I have tried sublingual and eating. I have eaten all different amounts, but due to cost, I don't bother using it alone. I find it most useful alongside your drinking session to supplement. I have never tried it for acute anxiety so can't comment there, perhaps noticed a slight mood lift, but really wanted to love it. I always have some in my fridge though. The honey lemon and chocolate orange are actually,delicious to me. After reading so many overwhelmingly positive reviews, I have to say I was disappointed time and time again. Again paradise is a fantastic vendor, it could just be my unique constitution, and also high kavain kavas just generally don't really do it for me anyways.
Thank you for your honest opinion I am looking for something that has a decent taste I am thinking of trying the concentate from Kalm with Kava soon. Do you recommend any instant kava that has a good heady effect and somewhat decent taste? I was thinking perhaps Moi? Thank you

I actually just received both the concentrate from kalm and the kava r us extract-have tried once or twice of each but not ready for review until I can dedicate some real time and dosages-so far I think it's gonna be te same, real root for best effect-everything else for supplementation or taking on the road-emergency at work etc. I have not tried instant since long ago nakamal at home but I was still experiencing reverse tolerance I think because I found it ineffective even with stellar reviews. I was also very inexperienced back then so who knows-I was the type of unfortunate newbie who almost have up on kava-I went through a pound and a half of paradise root and a half pound nakamal at home plus tin of instant and still had nothing worthwhile in terms of effects. I was becoming frustrated. I didn't purchase anymore for months until I discovered ghk as knew I had toget it.

Ghk is what everyone says it is. I started with micro and it was smooth clean and everythig kava is supposed to be. Dermo pretty annoying by the end of the sampler and subsequent amounts of micro tho. Is this your first try with kava? I would say if u r new, dont waste your money on specialty products like extracts and instants-pure root is te way to go-I thought it would be a pain to prepare but it's stronger, u can use each bag that U knead 2-3 times , cheapest and the traditional way. All ghk kava are mild in taste to me-even pure root-I used to vomit in my mouth with each sip and dread each next sip before ghk-now I'm a pro. Moi is amazing

Get yourself some moi med grind and learn how to prepare properly with warm water if u aren't familiar with kneading-I used cold water exclusively for a Long time and what an exponential improvement with the addition of hot not boiling water-and like shakes always says, try to have as empty a stomach as possible-good luck buddy-you will break through and it will change your life
I appreciate your long rant lol...I just ordered some GHK (moi) and will try that out. I had the same problem where I had originally drank Fiji powder root and the taste made me vomit and I can tolerate a lot of things but that was atrocious. Just thinking about it now makes me wanna vomit.
