How do you drink it? A lot at once? Powder, instant, micronised?

I drink 8 tbsp in 32 oz of water over the course of 90-120 min. Powder prepared by kneading in a strainer bag for 10 min.

Apparently heady kavas affects you the opposite way, try some GHK Mahakea and see how it you feel.

BKH Eua

That would be a lot for me. Try using less and spreading it out more.

I dunno, 8 TBS of medium grind over 2 hours, pretty much any kava would make me feel tired, to be honest. I try to stretch 6 TBS over at least 4 hours and I still end up fairly tired by the end of it, but in a good way. If I stretch it to 6 hrs, I feel even more tired, again in a good way.

Depends on the goal, but I tend to agree on this.

I just ordered some Mahakea and might order some Eua later. If one needs to wait 4 hrs after eating to feel the effects of kava, then you space out drinking it over 4 hrs, does this mean you go 8 hrs btw meals, or do you just start drinking kava two hrs after eating? Thanks.

I wait an hour after a meal.

I don't really do much spacing it out. Alot of people here eating a fatty meal shortly after ingesting Kava, apparently it boosts the effects.

It all makes me sleepy. All.

N@H Solomon makes you tired? Woowzers! That stuff is like strong coffee for me. Black Sand maybe? You must be very hypersensitive to the Dihydro kavalactones, regardless of their %. When I get really tired on kava and didn't intend to I just drink some coffee. Might be a good way for you to wake up, oh and yeah I agree with taking less kava too. Good Luck!!!

You also need to drink it a lot faster then in 90-120 minutes, drink it in 30 minutes or less.

 

[Kavaguy]

Mahakea makes me less tired than most. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Kavaguy]

Krunky, are you saying that kava will make one leas tired if one drinks kava in a short amy of time as opposed to spacing it out? Say in both instances, you start at 3 pm, and in the first instance you finish in 30 min. and in the other instance 2 hrs. By 7:00, wont you feel equally tired?
