Which product should i get.

9 grams 84% Kavalactone Paste
56 grams Premium Vanuatu Whole Root
56 grams Root Powder
56 grams Cut and Sifted Root

Im not quite sure when the difference is in between these other than the first one is considerably stronger. What would you recommend.
i dont have much experience with kava.

none of the above, i've had cups of chamomile tea with better downer effects.

 

[percozakk]

well is there any kind i should keep an eye out for?
ive heard some good things about kava and want to try it. Maybe try mixing it with kratom.

kava is worthless imo.

kratom on the other hand is nice, so i'd stick with that.

i would go with the kava paste, 9 g's aint that much though

the 9g paste seems potent (84%) but as stated, 9g isn't a lot
the usual supplements you can buy OTC in pill or capsule form are usually standardized to 30% kavalactone. When I tried kava I found ZERO effects from taking the (bottle) recommended 1-2 pills.
Taking something like 5 pills gave a very mild sedation. But then that was the equivalent of taking upward of 1.5g of 30% extract

so you can do the math if you want to see how much that'd be equivalent to your 84% extract...

also, to be noted, I think kava is far more potent when consumed fresh, like in the traditional island culture.
So any OTC stuff is going to be pretty weak... Maybe the 84% root powder would be worthwhile. Tell us if you do buy it
