Kava 5x Extract Dosage

[iconoclast56]

I got 20g of 5x kava extract. What would the dosages be?

Dosing of any drug is highly subjective and personalized. Search "kaviclone" (I believe, probably a misspelling) - that's what you're actually interested in. Another member recently spoke about this (within the past day or two).

Search for kava - or the *correct* spelling of the aforementioned kaviclone. Don't google that, hahaha, it's worthless. Just tried.

Kavalactone? The problem is I don't know the concentration of these kavalactones in a 5x extract. I'm thinking of just ingesting a gram but I hear kava can cause liver toxicity so overdoing it might cause serious harm. The extract I have is a beige colored powder.

We cannot speculate on what you have.

Also - you're going to have to slowly experiment with what you have. Kavalactone. That's the one. Without knowing (and the product you have not stating it is worrying) how much is there, you can NOT find a basis to start off of, other than "LOW."

In the future, only purchase product with listed levels of Kavalactone. You may have something super potent (quite unlikely) to barely active (much more likely). However, again no speculation is allowed.

So it takes 20-30 minutes to feel the effects. I'm going to take a small (0.2g) step-wise dose every 30 minutes and observe how I feel.

I would wait longer than the onset time to determine dosing. Personally, given that it takes 20-30min for onset, I'd wait at least an hour between dosing until you know exactly what level your body needs / you want. Be careful to pay mind to the half-life of the Kava as well and keep total bodily concentration in mind when settling on a final first dose after titration.
