Kalm with Kava Pouni Ono Micronized Kava (4 oz.)

I first tried Kava recently on Maui at a Kava bar, and since have been trying various varieties. This Poini Ono is my favorite I've found so far. It has a more mild flavor--less bitter, and a little warm and woody, but I especially like the more heady effects. Just a few tips I discovered that you should know if you are new to any Kava: Take it on an empty stomach, or at least 3-4 hours after your last major meal. If you aren't feeling the effects from one tablespoon, you probably should have waited longer, but taking more to force it is not a great plan. Better to try again later on a more empty stomach. Likewise, if you try upping your dosage but it is too much, a big glass of water and about 400 calories should sort things out pretty quickly. Also, Kava does not mix well with stimulants like caffeine, ginseng, or yohimbe, so keep those things pretty far apart. A little caffeine, like a soda, won't necessarily be a problem, but a dose of kava around the same time as a big coffee will be pretty uncomfortable, and sometimes causes cold sweats and heart palpitations, and too close to bedtime, difficulty sleeping. Empty stomach, only one or two tablespoons, no stimulants, you shouldn't have any negative effects others listed in their negative reviews.

It works... But the effects do not last very long. Lasts about 30 minutes or less. The Taste is bearable and not that bad. I won't purchase again because it is just not worth the money because it wears off too fast. Overall, not a bad product.

Great company all their products are effective

This is one of the only kava brands I truly trust and the exact one I started my kava journey with. It comes highly recommended by several kava experts in the field. The quality is consistently excellent.My advice: start slow and enjoy the effects! I’ll definitely continue to buy this brand.

This is the best kava around. I've tried every variety, and have never been disappointed with Kalm with Kava. the micronized is the best option if you don't want to deal with strainer or the Aluball method. Also, it's more affordable than the several tinctures and concentrates that are available. I highly recommend this product.Pouni ONO is a light kava. It doesn't have sedative effects, and it is great for drink throughout the work day. I mix mine with some matcha, which seems counterintuitive, but it keeps the energy and clarity. The Pouni ONO keeps me generally relaxed. It's a nice combination.

Experienced kava user here, and I would have asked for a refund had the kava not worked really amazingly well, because of the root shavings and debris. I would order again

Kale with Kava has always been my go to. Micronized makes for easy drinking, just shake it up and go! As a high anxiety individual with a few nagging injuries their products have been wonderful in giving me a way to unwind at the end of the day.
