Scientific fact: Effects typically begin within 15-30 minutes
Enhances GABA Activity
Kava increases GABA receptor sensitivity, promoting calm and reducing anxiety without the sedation associated with pharmaceutical alternatives.
Key benefit: Calm alertness without mental fog

Reverse ToleranceThe Kava Effect
Unlike most substances, kava has a unique reverse tolerance effect. This means that new users may not feel the full effects during their first few experiences.
Your body needs time to build up sensitivity to kava's active compounds. With continued, responsible use, you'll gradually become more responsive to its calming effects.
This is completely normal and part of kava's natural pharmacology. Think of it as your body learning to recognize and respond to kava's gentle, natural compounds.
