Do I Need to Strain My Kava?
Catherine asked: Probably because I am always looking for a quick fix I decided not to blend and strain as recommended, instead I spooned 2 heaping tablespoons into a glass of water, mixed and drank quickly. Is this OK? Thank you for your time and your wonderful website. Makaira says: We always eat the root with our kava drinks; it is full of nutrients, and provides pure, essential fiber for the continued good health of the body. I don’t quite know what you’re referring to when you say a “quick fix”, but 2 heaping teaspoons of Kava into a glass of water sounds...
Read MoreWhat Is a Rhizome?
Andrew asked: I was wondering what the difference between a stem and a rhizome is. From what I have read a rhizome is a sort of “underground stem.” The following statements are included in your website: “The strongest kava comes from first generation roots and rhizomes, so we are constantly rotating our plants and crops to ensure maximum strength.” You also say this: “Please remember that the only time Kava Kava has been shown to be poisonous or cause liver damage is when the leaves and stems are consumed. This is why we use ROOTS ONLY in ALL of our Kava Kava...

Read MoreHow Much Extract to Use for Full Effects?
Michael Claisse asked: How much kava extract should I use in one coffee cup to feel the full effects and how many cups should I drink? The bottle says that there are 25 active mg of kavalactones in one serving, and says one serving is 10-20 drops. Makaira says: One serving, in accordance with FDA guidelines, is 1 dropperful, into one glass of whatever you are drinking. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but we can’t offer anything past that, and can only by law, offer what we have been instructed by the FDA to offer. So, as we tell everyone who asks: It’s open to personal...
Read MoreWhich Kind of Kava Should I Buy?
Misha asked: Hi, I have just learned about kava tonight and I am really interested in taking it. I’m 21 and have heard and seen just too many negatives about alcohol. So I’m lookin’ to try something else. I was wondering what I should buy (powder, chai mix, etc.) to start with, and which would last me the longest because I don’t want to keep re-buying it every week. The 1 pound bag of powder at 2-4 tbs per cup of juice sounds like it will last many nights. What do you think? Makaira says: This is a difficult question to answer, since every single person and body can...
Read MoreWhat is Kaviar Kavalactone?
Rick Wolf asked: How come I have seen pictures from two different people claiming to sell 84% kavalactone liquigels that look exactly like the ones i just received from you? They are exactly the same, the color of the gel capsule varies from yellow to milky in the picture from the wholesaler just like the ones I received from you. Do you sell your product to wholesalers? How come their kava pills looked exactly like the ones I received from you? Makaira says: We are probably not the only ones in the world who sell kavalactone liquigels, and since the product contained within the liquigels is...
