What is more about kava extract?

There are also a number of ways to sample kava’s more potent recreational effects. One of our favorite delivery methods has to be the concentrated kavalactone paste offered by some vendors, with a verified kavalactone content of anywhere from 30-84% kavalactone by weight. You can eat a dollop of straight kavalactone paste, mix it into milk or juice, or add it to another kava preparation to heighten the brew’s effects. And because kavalactone paste is so concentrated, you only need to consume a pea-sized amount to feel notable relaxation, enhanced sociability, euphoria and more of kava’s satisfying effects.

What is the dosage of kavalactones?

As discussed, the method of preparation has a real effect on the dosage of kavalactones in your average serving. If you’re preparing kava for yourself at home, some things to keep in mind are temperature, emulsion ingredients, and of course your own personal tolerance to kavalactones, which varies by individual. It’s important to use only the root in your kava preparations, which is liver-safe and the only part of the plant used in indigenous preparations. Kava root also contains the highest concentrations of kavalactones, especially in the small lateral roots which grow along the surface of the soil. When making a kava brew or tea, it’s important not to heat your water beyond 140 degrees Fahrenheit because the root’s active kavalactones have been shown to break down at temperatures higher than this. Finally, while the traditional kava brew is typically a suspension of root matter in cold water, if you’re working with a pure kavalactone extract or full-spectrum paste, you may want to mix it with a fatty liquid such as milk or coconut milk as some of kava’s active ingredients are only fat-soluble rather than water-soluble.

Beyond these guidelines, your own personal tolerance and body chemistry will affect the kava dosage you need to take for a pleasurable effect, just as different people have differing tolerances for alcohol. The best way to find your ideal kavalactones dosage is to start with a small amount and increase the dosage over time as you become familiar with the effects it generates for you. People who are naïve to kavalactones may not feel anything their first few times (a phenomenon called reverse tolerance), but for those who have patience in working with this plant, kava can be a marvelously gentle herb to relax with at the end of the day or turn to whenever you need a dose of calm.
