I've done quite a bit of research on kava/kavalactones etc. I understand the math behind finding kavalactone amount. Such as, a 100mg kava capsule with 20% kavalactone amount, contains 20mg of kavalactones. I have gel caps that contain 83% kavalactones. Regardless of the percentage, they say the contain 75mg of kavalactones each. I guess this is more of a dosage question.

The research I've found, and the experiences/trip reports etc, all talk about different dosages; ie 500mg, 3 grams etc. It goes on and on. And depending on which type the individual has, the dose greatly varies. I'm only interested in what a proper dose of kavalactones would be. Not just kava powder or anything of the sort. I've been browsing this site for a long time, and this is my first post, so I'm pretty good at UTSE. I took 150mg before, and maybe felt relaxed. Also, possibly was only a placebo. Any advice on a decent dose would be nice. Enough to relax, and actually feel affects that are less disputable. Thanks bl'ers!
 
The doses on the bottles are complete rubbish. Traditional usage is an average of 250-750mgs of kavalactones. You practically would have a hard time. It's quite misleading that Fiji people only use this as a relaxant. They also use this as a social drug, as well as an inebriant. Truly just to get smashed. Because of this the Fijian people use considerably less alcohol than most.
 
Meh. I appreciate the reply. I ended up taking 750mg, to test it out. I mean, idk I think I have my expectations set too high at this point. Results are just no good imo. I have another capsule version too, about 5 different types of kratom, and phenibut. Basically I was given a huge variety pack of things of this nature. Not sure if I'll have any luck with any of them.
 
Yeah, the kratom idea seems interesting, but, it seems like a lot of work. To know how much to take of what kind and how to measure it out (no scale). But out of these few things, also seems the most promising. Been searching around a bit, opinions on this are swayed so drastically from person to person.
 
another person on this board is a regular user (peppersocks) and he takes 2000 mgs at a time, today i drank half a bottle of concentrated stuff (not sure how much kavalactones) but it gave me a nice relaxed feeling throughout the day. but nothing like being hammered, just a nice relaxation. ive also heard the natural stuff its made outta is much better (is it a plant bark?)
 
With the tincture, I find it varies a lot from brand to brand. One brand that every health food store around me seems to have does absolutely jack, no matter how much of it I take. Another brand that's a little harder to find has a pungent rooty numbing taste, and gets me mellow in three dropperfuls.

I agree that kava's effects are not the same as ethanol's. It does have some effects in common, due to the GABAergic agonism, but kava lacks a lot of the subtle effects of alcohol, including most of the bad ones and some of the more fun ones, while having a few subtle effects all its own.
 
I'd have to say that Kava is all the fun minus all the bad of alcohol.

I've had no hangover, or fouled insides from Kava consumption.

If I had a real available, decently priced option, Kava would be my main drug.
 
I was actually going to ask a similar question.. I have some of this (30mL) Gaia Herbs - Kava Tincture that has 37.5mg per 1mL.. So that means the entire 30mL bottle has 1,125mgs of kavalactones in the entire bottle.. After reading through this thread it seems like most 'recreational' dosages of kavalactones is anyhwere from 500mg - 1,500mgs according to some of the responses here... I am wanting to just have a nice experience with Kava, even if it is only for one dose - say I have to drink the entire 30mL bottle (1,125mgs) to get one nice buzz.. So what do you guys think?

What is a good dose for pure kavalactones milligram wise? 500mgs? 1,000mgs?
 
I took about a teaspoon of high quality 60% extract that is a yellow oily gritty butter consistency. It got me very very high. But also nauseous. Similar to xanax/alcohol overdose. Feeling better now. Definitely better than alcohol or xanax. More euphoria. Less side effects.
 
A teaspoon is about 4 grams of kava extract. And what I had was 60% kavalactones. So I took about 2 grams kavalactones. No wonder I overdosed. I recommend 1 gram of kavalactones at most if you have a tolerance. If you are a rookie take 400 mg or much less
 
Be really careful with phenibut if you don't fallow strict wash out periods or max reccomended recreational dosage it'll fuck with your stomach but you'll experience the worst rebound anxiety imaginable. Kratom is nice if you get good quality vendor; maeng da is the most popular
