Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

How much should I drink?

We recommend starting with 1.5oz for your first experience. Wait 15-20 minutes to feel the effects before deciding to have more. Most people find their sweet spot between 1.5-3oz per session. Listen to your body and find what works best for you.

Can I mix with alcohol?

No - we strongly advise against mixing kava with alcohol. Both substances affect the liver, and combining them can increase the risk of liver stress and intensify impairment. Kava Moon is designed to be a complete alternative to alcohol, not a complement to it. Enjoy one or the other, not both.

How does it taste?

Our Signature blend has been carefully crafted for smoothness with subtle earthy notes. If you prefer a blank canvas for mixing, our Pure Canvas variety is unflavored and perfect for creating your own recipes. Most people find it much more palatable than traditional kava preparations.

Is it safe?

Kava has been consumed safely for thousands of years in Pacific Island cultures. Our kava is lab-tested and made from noble kava root only - the safest and highest quality variety. As with any supplement, consult your doctor if you have liver conditions, are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.

How often can I drink it?

Many people enjoy kava 2-4 times per week without issues. We recommend taking occasional breaks (a few days per week) to let your body reset. Daily heavy use is not recommended. As with all good things, moderation is key to a sustainable relationship with kava.
