Choosing the best kava involves careful considerations in its cultivation and extraction process. Optimal kava should be harvested from mature plants aged 3-5 years, with a focus on the lateral (“Noble”) roots. The essential kavalactones, responsible for kava’s effects, must maintain natural ratios, emphasizing the importance of a meticulous extraction process.

Globally, Kava has gained popularity, leading to the proliferation of kava bars, and in most instances, restrictions on its use have been lifted or relaxed. In the United States, Kava is legally accessible across all 50 states and territories, contributing to the success of numerous Kava bars.

While we believe in the purity and benefits of Primo Kava products, it is important to note that they are not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.  Kava is known to have different results for different individuals.  It is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional about your individual needs before using any kava product.

Some studies like this suggest that kava can provide positive results, however, it is important to note that research on the efficacy and safety of kava is ongoing, and results can vary. If you are considering kava for anxiety management, we advise you to consult with a healthcare professional first, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.

It’s very possible that it may take some time for you to feel the effects.  When first trying Kava we recommend to start in a relaxed setting and already “wound down” state so that you can feel the effects as they happen. Additionally, be mindful that caffeine can counteract Kava’s effects. 

Also it’s worth noting that, at Primo Kava, we adhere to the FDA’s conservative recommendations and serving sizes. With your doctor’s guidance, you can increase your Kava intake which may increase the effects.  Please keep in mind though that everyone is different and results do vary from person to person. Like any product, kava can be abused so we recommend that you carefully monitor your intake. 

Because kava affects each person’s body and mood differently, it is good to familiarize yourself with different affects that people are known to have. We’ve encountered people saying they experience enhanced sociability, while others may feel euphoric or ‘floaty’, and others have mentioned they simply feel relaxed. Also keep mind Kava does have reverse tolerance meaning the more you ingest Kava, the less you need to feel the effects.

We also want to mention here that we advise that you do NOT mix Kava with alcohol.   

Yes!  Kava has a reverse tolerance. This means the more you ingest Kava, the less you need to feel the effects. When first trying Kava it is best to start in a relaxed setting and already “wound down” so that you can feel the effects as they happen, which will likely be both mental and physical.

Traditionally Kava is mixed with cool or cold liquids.  The type of liquid is really up to you, although water and coconut water is often known as the island choice. Kava extracts are a simple and effect way to “mix” your drinks, which is why we like them so much.  

If you happen to be using Kava powder, we recommend seeking that manufacturers suggestions. Kava powder can be an entirely different and much more labor and time-intensive process.
