Instant Kava – Ready in a Flash!

Why Choose Our Instant Kava?

  • Effortless Preparation: Just add to a shaker or glass, stir, and enjoy!
  • Perfect Serving Size: Only half a teaspoon needed per serving.
  • Versatile Mixing: Blends seamlessly with your favorite juice or smoothie.

What Sets our Instant Kava Apart?

Australia Kava Shop Instant Kava** is crafted from dehydrated kava juice sourced directly from fresh green kava in Vanuatu. This unique process ensures easy dissolving and rapid absorption of kava lactones – the “Feel Good” compounds of kava – for an immediate calming effect.

The Instant Kava Advantage

Unlike other instant kava products that rely on heavily micronized kava root, our method involves dehydrating green kava juice, ensuring better solubility and quicker effectiveness without putting strain on your stomach. Inferior instant kava can be both ineffective and cause an upset stomach due to inadequate release of kava lactones.

Discover the difference with Instant Kava from Australia Kava Shop – quick to prepare, easy on the stomach, and always effective at delivering the tranquil benefits of kava.

    It's unfair to post Kava deals but no cigarette and drug deals. I want more options to destroy my liver. :)

      I want more options to destroy my live

      i want more discredited studies!
      I want more micro-influencers to share their Kava success stories!

      • -5

        Is there influencers sharing their Kava success stories? Wow, I've been missing out. Were they yellow from the liver damage?

        • Keen to see your "sources" of these claims

          • @CoolHwip74: Sure, but something tells me that you will just say "I am not convinced" regardless of what I say. Let me guess, you must be a user and need to convince yourself that the risks are low.

            The association between kava and liver toxicity is a serious and well-documented concern within the scientific community. While traditional use suggests safety, modern consumption patterns and processing methods have raised significant red flags. Here's a more compelling presentation of the scientific evidence:

            Established Hepatotoxicity:
            Numerous case reports and studies have linked kava consumption to severe liver damage, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver failure. This is not merely anecdotal; regulatory bodies worldwide have taken action based on this data.
            A review published in Phytotherapy Research details the history of kava hepatotoxicity and the various factors that may contribute to it: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ptr.3464
            Mechanisms of Toxicity:
            Research has delved into the potential mechanisms by which kava can damage the liver. Studies indicate that kava can interfere with mitochondrial function, deplete glutathione (a crucial antioxidant), and inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are vital for drug metabolism.
            A study in chemical research in toxicology showed that Kava lactones can cause hepatotoxicity in vitro. : https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/tx100412m
            A study in the journal of toxicology and environmental health showed that Kava can inhibit glutathione production. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9315573/
            Factors Amplifying Risk:
            While traditional kava preparation involves water extraction, modern products may employ solvents, potentially concentrating harmful compounds. Furthermore, the use of non-noble kava cultivars and the inclusion of stems and leaves, which contain higher levels of certain kavalactones, may increase toxicity.
            Concurrent use of alcohol, prescription medications, or pre-existing liver conditions significantly elevates the risk of kava-induced liver damage.
            The Importance of Prudence:
            Despite ongoing research, the potential for severe liver injury associated with kava cannot be ignored. The scientific evidence strongly suggests that kava poses a real and significant risk.
            It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before considering kava use, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
            In essence, while the traditional use of kava may have a history of relative safety, modern consumption and production practices have introduced factors that amplify the risk of liver toxicity. The scientific evidence is compelling, and caution is strongly advised.

              @Musiclover: Nice AI extract, however the majority of the cases of liver toxicity were seen in people who had prior liver disease or used alcohol in addition to kava (of the ~100 worldwide)
              Worth noting, I have tried but not a user.

              • +1

                @swimmingtoad: It sounds as if you blame me for using AI. I am not writing my own article for one Kava addict on ozbargain who is preemptively "not convinced". By the way, can you guarantee that your liver is 100% healthy and you do not have any undiagnosed conditions? If so, what type of screening do you do and how regularly?
                Liver is a wonderful organ which has fantastic regeneration abilities, you want to test them?

            • @Musiclover: Oxygen is essential for life, but in certain conditions, it can pose severe health risks. Here are some of the dangers associated with oxygen:

              1. Oxygen Toxicity (Hyperoxia)
                Breathing in high concentrations of oxygen (above 60%) for extended periods can lead to oxygen toxicity, which can cause lung damage, seizures, and even death.
                Two main types:
                Pulmonary Oxygen Toxicity: High oxygen levels can damage lung tissues, leading to inflammation, coughing, difficulty breathing, and chest pain.
                Central Nervous System (CNS) Oxygen Toxicity: Can cause seizures, confusion, dizziness, and unconsciousness, often affecting divers breathing high-pressure oxygen (such as in deep-sea diving with rebreathers).
              2. Fire and Explosion Hazard
                Oxygen supports combustion, making it a serious fire hazard. Materials that wouldn’t normally burn can ignite in an oxygen-rich environment, increasing the risk of fires and explosions.
                Medical oxygen tanks can turn into high-pressure explosives if damaged.
              3. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
                In premature infants, excessive oxygen can cause abnormal blood vessel growth in the eyes, leading to blindness.
              4. Suppression of Breathing in COPD Patients
                People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rely on low oxygen levels to trigger breathing. Giving them too much supplemental oxygen can reduce their drive to breathe, leading to respiratory failure.
              5. Increased Oxidative Stress and Cell Damage
                High oxygen levels can generate free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, leading to cell damage, inflammation, and accelerated aging.
                This oxidative damage is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases over time.
              6. High-Pressure Oxygen Exposure Risks (e.g., in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)
                While hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has medical benefits, prolonged exposure can lead to barotrauma (ear or lung injury), oxygen toxicity seizures, and changes in vision.
                Conclusion
                While oxygen is necessary for survival, too much can be harmful. It's critical to use oxygen therapy only under medical supervision and be cautious in high-oxygen environments to avoid toxicity, oxidative damage, and fire hazards.

                @dav3: God help you if Kava is essential for your life.

            • +2

              @Musiclover: from your Wiley link

              In particular, there is so far no clear evidence for a causative role of kavalactones and non-kavalactone constituents, such as pipermethystine and flavokavain B, identified from kava.

              your ACS link

              However, several reports of hepatotoxicity have been linked to the consumption of kava extracts in Western countries, where mainly ethanolic or acetonic extracts are used. The mechanism of toxicity has not been established, although several theories have been put forward.

              i.e. no evidence

              and your NIH link just babbles on about mice tests (lovely, but not really relevant), and various reasons & basically "there might be an issue, if there is it could be this, this, this, this that, this, that, that, this" them cites the WHO study of 2007 which basically came out and said there's no evidence at all among the 90 people that are supposedly have links between liver issues & kava. Most of the western ones weria where kava was taken as a supplement (i.e. not extracted via water).

              Most of the early studies didn't take into account liver health before and any liver affecting drugs (such as alcohol) taken during the study.

              I'd be wary of kava supplements (hence my micro-influencers jibe) as you don't know how the Kavalactones are extracted.

                @M00Cow: The mechanism of toxicity has not been established = no evidence of toxicity = faulty logic.

              @Musiclover: Yes I am a user for over a year. And no, not convinced with your wall of text/links.

              I was skeptical at the beginning of my kava adventure, but the more research I did and the further I looked into it the more reassured I was that nothing bad will happen.

              I believe some cheap kava can be bad, but I stick to good suppliers like Root & Pestle in QLD. No issues whatsoever for me. Coles Fiji kava is also fine. It goes on 50% off sale often.

              Kava is not addictive and has improved my quality of life. Don't mock it till you try it. There are far worse things you can put in your body.

              Lot's if interesting discussions about kava can be had on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kava/ Go and see for yourself what actual users say. And see: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kava/wiki/does-kava-cause-liver-dam…

    Cheaper at Coles, no? https://www.coles.com.au/product/fiji-kava-root-powder-150g-…?

    Coles - $28 for 150g

    Unless Noble Kava is different again?

      I was waiting for this question A 1. Imagine that its like comparing an unfiltered bottom grade whiskey to mature Johnny Walker Blue. The process in making the 2 products are completely different. I go into it in detail at the bottom of the page HERE

        Fair enough, I had a quick read of your link, seems fijikava also uses a water based extraction technique
        ( https://fijikava.com.au/pages/faqs ) so not sure if this deal is actually good value or not. Noting I can't comment on quality for either brand specifically, I'll leave it for people to decide themselves.

      • Do you claim that yours gives better/stronger/whatever psychoactive effects?
