- Recently I started drinking kava and after doing some research I decided to make a video about the science behind kava and the kavalactones that it contains.
Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

Just got recommended a video from Tom Scott where you are featured. So glad I found this channel! Subscribed!
It’s roots haha no pun intended 👐👁👐🛸👽🎻
Great video, Chase. Your writing skills have developed beautifully. I am ready for your first novel. Stay safe. Cheers.
Just came from the Tom Scott video (I've been binge watching) and my god. I'm glad you are still doing this you filled me with inspiration and determination to keep going through university and maybe create some videos of my own.
THANK YOU! I've been looking all over the Internet for information on kava. Here in Hawaii, everyone uses its Hawaiian name: 'awa (pronounced _AH-vuh_ ). I had no idea its English name was different, which explains why Google wasn't giving me any results. Luckily, your video gave me both its name as well as most of the info I was looking for. Thanks!
It's not specifically English, the word's pronounciation is borrowed from Polynesia. K is dropped in Hawaii, Tahiti, and the Marquesas.
You need a viral video. These videos are entertaining and high quality all you need is for people to know about it. Keep it up
You’re the man bro! Keep making videos you have a bright future ahead of you
Me and my friends have been getting more into Kava lately. It's so nice to visit and chill.
This is awesome. Im a generation x and just tried Kava and it feels so mild, natural, and normal, yet very relaxing and good for focus. Sleeping after this is very gentle and restful. I like this presentation.
Awesome, thank you Chase, I am growing kava in Samoa where it's known as Ava, as you say, each variety has a slightly different effect, some sleepy, other uplifting and other very subtle lifting of mental pressure leaving ones mind free to move forward.
Ive never even heard of this! Super interesting video as always!
Nice vid bro. Good info and like the length for just a quick what to know video.
Love your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work.
I use kava for anxiety and chronic pain.
I've come to your channel from Tom Scott's video. Great content, I do enjoy your videos!
just came here from the Tom Scott video. Man, the kid's grown a lot.
Nice to see he's still going strong, making science videos.
Kava is the Lithuanian word for coffee so the video confused me before you explained that it is from Hawaii
same in Slovakia :)
Same in polish xd
Yeah, i know that. Beacuse im from Lithuania XD
Same in Slovenian
same in Ukrainian xd
you're one if the only guys on youtube with info on this substance
Hey! I discovered you from that Minesota video you did 4 years ago, good job! Keep up the great work!
Nice video. Concise and to the point. Keep posting please
You are a great inspiration for me, keep going!💪💪💪
we have been having kava forever - no one has died and we are still here - the happiest place on earth
Awesome video thank you! I went out to Fiji a couple years ago and can totally agree with everything you say. Had it quite a few times but never really felt anything :P
This is all so good to know, thank you
This was an awesome informational video. Thanks g
"I'm not recommending it, but maybe give it a shot!"
*Subscribed*
Thank you for the info. I can tell you are an amazing human. ❤
Cool video, never heard of the stuff but I guess I'm now prepared for the Kavocalypse
We need this now!
tried kava in fiji and it really is dirt water lol. did not know about the benefits though. would not get me to drink it again lol
Do you know which strain has the most that effects on the GABA system? I also wanna get off of Benzos. Do you have any tips for preparing? How much will I need in the beginning and do I drink it slowly over time or fast?
Hay I've just come from Tom Scott's video where you explained coke and mountain due dissolving your sister teeth nice to see your still doing video 👍👍👍
Very thorough breakdown
Amazing information thanks keep it up
I like that your video is short and to the point! Don’t be afraid to add one more minute it will be OK ha ha
Very educational! Thanks mate+
Awesome!! Thank you!!
awesome video bro 👊
Great information appreciate the study
Awesome video!!
I love your videos!!!
Kava is awesome I personally mix 1-2 tablespoons of the powder with milk and blend ‘em together and sip it until it’s done and get a nice soothing, muscle relaxing effect (I’ve noticed this as my shoulders/ jaw area are typically tense)
Be aware though! Over doing the dose with kava can cause nausea and throwing up!
Verify the source of the kava it’s a trial and error process but once you find the one that works for you I can tell you from experience that kava really is a natural game changer with helping relieve tension and stress!
Do you have any good sources you recommend? Not really wanting to go back to xanax even though I have the script
@@idipped2521 Little late but you can find alot of info on kava at "Joeytalks" on youtube. "Art of kava" is one good source and he recommends, "Karuna kava" from this vendor, they are pre-mixed. Don't forget to add your fat.. (milk, creamer, coconut oil...)
Any brand recommendations?
Do you drink it everyday? Is that safe?
Don't you need to filter out the kava powder?
I use to drink a lot of kava when I was in Florida in west palm.
I’m of Malagasy descent so part pacific island and it makes me feel great I have been eating more East African and pacific island food and herbs it has been life changing.
Great video m8. Did you like the effect?
Kid, you all right? Haven't uploaded for a long time now..
You’re awesome man
Great video! Straight to the point, super informative and love your enthusiasm! subbed😊
Can it be taken while already drinking alcohol?
Man has the same interests as i do. first video i saw was the Tannerite one then this. I love it.
Very cool!
3000 years and it’s a social drink in Fiji 🇫🇯 not just ceremonial
I bought the kava gummies, ate one and didn’t like it at all. Gave me these lil head rushes they call kava bells. They wouldn’t stop for like 10 hours
Whoa! Weird going from 4 year old mtn dew videos to this! How old are you now? Keep up the good work, would love to see a Mark Rober collab.
The actual, thorough damage the hippies did to alternative medicine, and alternative mods of health has yet to be fully analyzed.
Great video. Was hoping you’d actually break down the science ie how it actually makes you less anxious - does it attach to certain receptors? Does it change molecules?
Anyone have any interesting research papers references they could share?
It boosts Gaba big time and also effects seratonin creation.
can u do a video on airpressure and how much a person can exert on diff objects?
Great video
Nice vid, thanks
Great job on the video. I see a scientist in the making!!
Good video!
It's more than root and water if you do it right. Cream and saliva really make it. I've been using it for years now, since it first came to popularity back in the mid 2010s. I notice a big difference if I even just chew the root or the soak the teabag orally before steeping. I know, sounds gross. But it makes a difference. As does the cream. Adds to the overall cascade effect from the broad range of kavalactones in the actual plant(extracts have never been particularly effective for me except as a sort of anxiolytic during tryptamine based trips. I think it mildly inhibits the breakdown. Not enough to compare to a real MAOI but enough to add something overall.)
Where can I order at
well done
Wouldn't that be considered an adaptogen it you've got to take less of it, as it builds up in your system, over time?
Can u share your sources of research on kava?
Kava, we gotta hava!
Great video, congrats! But what I want to know is: why some countries in your background map are blue? Hahahah
Thanks
Taste like shit, but it got me off of alcohol dependency. It did the trick, every time I crave for alcohol, I bust my finest root powder. It got me sitting on my ass!
Tastes like pepper
Kava is fucking amazing. Can't believe its legal haha. BTW to all people who are new to kava, give it some time because it takes some skills to make it right.
Yes that is true I’ve never made it myself
Bought my fist couple strains today. Definitely taking the edge off. Gonna go easy to get the dosing right. Being crippled by anxiety, ... I feel amazing. Game changer. Bu-Bye Rx pills.
Yes, indeed. Completely agree with you!!! Don't give up before the magic happens. 😃❤💯
Wish I knew of this stuff before I started Kratom. Now I Wana try it and stop Kratos. I bet it could help the detox from it.
Nice video.
I wish he would upload soon
Never heard of kava with a k before, I only knew about cava, the Spanish sparkling wine. Sounds interesting though, and if it has the potential to help with anxiety, it's worth giving a try. Thank you.
Cava is disgusting... but I thought off cava too.
I have drunk cava multiple times but don't get it.
Been drinking it before my differential Equations class and I can attest to both the increased cognitive function and sense of euphoria. I've never enjoyed math so much
Great video, would love for you to experience the science behind Nano Kava! 1ml provides the same amount of kavalactones as a 6oz shell! Nanotechnology is at the heart of it!
Wonderful video, I've been to Fiji a few times (where they drink Kava) so it was interesting to hear about it from a scientific perspective. You explore all kinds of interesting topics on this channel and your writing makes the concepts very clear.
If I could offer some advice form a public speaking perspective sometimes you draw out your words too long and you also rise in pitch at the end of some sentences. A good example would be at 1:27 where "mood" is drawn out and "sleep" rises in pitch. When I was learning to public speak I was told I had a 'fairy voice' and while yours is not as bad as mine was I thought I'd let you know the advice I received for this. A 'fairy voice' is one that kind of floats through the script, my pitch would rise throughout sentences and I wasn't 'forceful' in what I was saying. Tips I had to deal with this were to take a deep breath before starting (but I suspect you do this), focus on speaking at a controlled speed (which you do really well!), and think of lowering your voice (which is less of a problem for men) and putting a sense of gravity into your words which helps to stop the pitch rising and the floaty voice affect. Anyway, this advice was really helpful for me so I thought I'd pass it on in case it was helpful for you too.
Anyway, I hope this is at least a little helpful - feel free to reach out if you need clarification - but otherwise keep up the great work. Your public speaking is really excellent (this may just take it to the next level) and I am absolutely loving this channel - keen to see where it will go in the future.
Thank you! I appreciate the advice
ScienceC why do you not upload?? :(
Interesting 👏👏
Back when I used to drink this stuff, everywhere I read up on it was saying to mix it with milk or some kind of fat that the kavalactones could bind to; could never really tell if that actually made much of a difference though tbh.
Can you do a video on mitragyna speciosa next? LOL, kidding.
Yeah I’ve heard that fat helps digest or binds or something but I could not find any research online about it.
@@ScienceC just went to a shop today where the owner is VERY knowledgeable on this and kratom. And they also said that kava is fat soluble. BRING ON THE FATS! LOL
This stuff is amazing! Great info on this man. Thank you
when i drink my kava, i do a 50/50 mix of warm water and almond milk to best potency
Thank you great
Is the reverse tolerance at all similar to how some people say THC can work? Like, every once in a while you'll meet a weed enthusiast who's like "yeah, honestly you get a better high the second or third time you try weed, since the thc stays in your system".
I've never been sure if that's just a perceived effect or if it's real.
THC definitely has a normal tolerance, I think with that people might not inhale or consume a lot of THC and that’s why they don’t get high but I’m not sure.
Complete and total lie. Weed is a drug, and you don’t build up a REVERSE tolerance, just like any other drug, you will eventually build a normal tolerance and need more to reach a certain high…
I would like to add: you will experience withdrawal symptoms from Weed if you smoke everyday for a long period of time.
@@ChosenNEO777 this is not true… I smoked weed 10 times a day for 7 years and quit with no problems. Stop spreading lies. Drink some coffee because that’s 10x worse than anything weed can even come close to.
YOUR MY INSPIRATION AND I MISS UR CHANEL
Hey can you do the science of MSG.
Are you using a teleprompter or how do you remember the whole script to make this a one-shot-deal?
I guess we'll never know then..
nunya
I like chanels like this
It use to be used for gatherings and meetings but people took advantage of that and started getting drunk with it
POST MOREEE
Kava is my favorite thing that tastes awful!
Damn I come back to your channel 3 years and I thought someone else was running it lol.
3 years later
I like drinking kava while watching tv, it’s kinda nice
Thanks so much for your video and sipping on some muddy water :). Yes, the taste is not great and certainly takes some time getting use to. Been in the kava industry for over a decade (well almost 15 years!) and developed a kava candy thats a little easier to get down (flavors Orange, Coconut Cream and Ginger). If you happen to see this, would love to send you some packs to try if your interested. Aloha! Steve (owner)
Sounds amazing! I’m def interested!!
@@acmdavid11 curious have you tried any kava before?
@@kavakavacandy only some drops from HEB. Other than that, not that I can think of
@@kavakavacandy is it legal in the us
@@rick-db1wr yes! Legal in the U.S. kava is categorized under the dietary supplement category
Does the buildup cause withdrawal?
No!!! That's what's so great about Kava-well, *one* of the things anyway!!! 😃❤🥰
Looking at my kava tea right now realizing ya, it does resemble mud water
So are you a kava drinker now? And if so, do you do anything to make it more palatable?
Eh there’s really not much you can do, I would say you get used to it over time but you really don’t!
You can find different tea preparations. Or make your own. I purchase a kava chai blend online.
@@bleusoleil1 Can I ask where you found the Kava-Chai blend?? I don't actually mind the taste of Kava-unlike most people I've heard of! 😅 I'm definitely not saying I *love* it; but I don't hate it either. It's okay. I mix milk and/or coconut milk with mine plus cinnamon (in the "kneading" stage of preparation if traditional; or after I add the Kava if micronized/instant). . . and when made like that, I've often said to people who haven't tried it, that it tastes like a ( very strong! lol ) Chai tea. If I had the traditional Chai spices (star anise etc; hard to find where I live lol), I'd add those...for sure!!!
I sweetened it at the beginning, bc I felt it needed it; but then it felt like it was so unhealthy to me; so I switched to honey. Now I use nothing to "mask" the taste bc it really doesn't bother me that much. You're supposed to drink it quickly anyway and that's what I do! 😂
But yea I'd love to know where you got that if you don't mind!!! Thank you! Sounds awesome!! 😃
❤
I've used a lot of kava over the years and have never experienced the reverse tolerance that this gentleman talks about -- just regular tolerance. Wondering why
I went to Fiji for a couple months when I was 14 (I was building a couple dormitories for a youth camp). One Sunday our group visited a village where the males of the group were invited to sit in a circle with the men of the tribe and coconut shell was passed around the circle. People would take the shell, dip it in the large bowl in the center and drink. None of us knew what Kava was at the time, so everyone was a bit taken aback by the f'd up teenagers leaving the village. I don't really remember much about the effects, to be honest. I DO remember that it made my mouth go numb on the first drink. After the second time I dipped in the bowl, my whole face went numb. I drank once more after that, but don't really remember much. In my defense, it WAS 37 years ago. Memory ain't what it used to be. LOL
Ginkgo Biloba extract 240 mg daily will really help your memory and cognitive function.
@@mediterraneandiet2483does it really?
Kava is great
Where’d you go...
So this is why they’re so laid-back and nice on the islands
I MISS YOU
