Frequently asked questions
Direct answers, not an essay. If you have a specific question before ordering, it is probably below.
Taking it
The five questions almost every first-time buyer asks, answered without hedging.
How much should I take?
For resin, a pea-sized amount is a reasonable first dose. You can always take more after waiting; you cannot take less once it is in you. For gummies the dose is already measured, so take one and wait rather than eating several back to back on your first try.
How long until I feel it?
Effects build over the first twenty to thirty minutes rather than arriving at once. The most common first-timer mistake is deciding nothing is happening at ten minutes and taking more before the first dose has landed. Give it time before you judge it.
Can I drive after taking kava?
No. Kava can affect coordination, reaction time and alertness. Treat a session the way you would treat anything that acts on the central nervous system: plan to stay in for the evening.
Can I take it every day?
We are not going to give a blanket answer, because it depends on your health, any medications you take, and how your body responds. A doctor is better placed to answer that than a product FAQ. What we can say is that the liver-safety research points toward moderation and paying attention to your own response over time.
Can I mix it with alcohol?
No. Both act on the liver and the central nervous system, and the safety research does not support combining them. If you are choosing between a kava evening and drinking, pick one.
Is it safe?
The honest answer is that this is a question about published research, not about our marketing, so we would rather point you at what the research says than make the case ourselves.
Buying it
Is this legal in my state?
Kava is legal federally in the United States, but a small number of states have their own restrictions. Check your state's rules before ordering if you are unsure.
What separates the three resins?
Isa is the heaviest and most full-bodied, usually an evening choice. Mahakea is balanced, workable either side of the day depending on how much you take. Nene is the lightest and most cerebral, a clear-headed daytime option, and harvest-limited, so it is not always in stock.
How long does shipping take?
Still not answered?
Ask us. It is a small company, so the reply comes from someone who actually makes the product.
