Hi guys I am new to Kava but would like to know what I might be doing wrong? I have tried this more than a couple times now and haven't noticed much of anything? Last night I even tried roughly 2-3 TBSP and still didn't notice barely anything in terms of relaxation/euphoria etc. Any thoughts on what I might be missing? Thanks!

Kava King isn't the strongest Kava out there. Ironically, it was the first Kava I ever tried (more than 15 years ago) and I enjoyed it very much.

Kava is not always what people think it is going to be. It is not an overwhelmingly intoxicating substance, which is actually a good thing. People who try Kava for the first time often complain that it is all cost and no benefit (bad taste, light effects). It is important to know what you are looking for with Kava. If you are looking for a beverage that can take the edge off, be a good hobby, or be something that you can enjoy with your friends with increased sociability, then it is probably good for you. If you are looking for a "legal high" or something that can replace alcohol or recreational drugs, then it is probably not the best thing for you.

I would suggest a Fijian or Tongan root that you can prepare yourself. Give it two or three tries to really understand the effects and how they play out.

Check out my blog for more: http://kavasseur.blogspot.com It is the internets largest and best collection of Kava reviews.

Thank you for that input! Yeah I am not looking for a legal high, just something to relax with in the evenings... What dosage would you say would be a strong, but not over the top with the micronized KavaKing? Thanks!

I'd say a heaping tablespoon to two cups of water and space them out every 10 or so minutes :) You'll get to where you need to be. Don't rush it or you might get sick

@Moodo57, you can also see a huge library kava reviews right here on the forum by clicking on the kavapedia above and selecting kava reviews. There you will a plethora of unsolicited reviews on just about every kava known to mankind. Better make sure you set aside at least a hour to check them out. You may even find one for Kava King.

My recent batch has been very weak I have noticed. I've used this product a fair mount and while I have never found it to be particularly strong, this most recent batch is pretty unimpressive IMHO.

I have to agree. At first I was stoked because it's tastes like a good nutty Boroguru but I never really reached the effects I was hoping for.

I dunno about their latest batch, but the KK stuff I got definitely did the trick.

Stay with it, @Moondo57, as you're probably still in Reverse Tolerance and will get there eventually.
