Well, I bought some kava kava capsules from a local health food store and I really cannot notice any effect when taking them.
Is anyone here aware of a site that sells capsules that actually produce noticable results?

Alright, healthfood capsules are not the way to go... neither are any capsules... you'll want as fresh of root as possible extracted into some milky water. Tastes yummy and numbs the tongue, however, does take a good amount to get one going real nicely, 1 oz. and up to a few oz. a night.
I had an experience with capsules from the healthfood store once, highest percentege of kavalactones I could find. I ate 10, my lady 10, nothing, a few more apiece, nothing, a few more, a few more, a few more, and a few more until the whole bottle of 60 was gone between us. Effects were achieved, but NOTHING enjoyable... it was like being drunk with no mental effects, I was stumbling, and puking, but my mind was clear as hell. I think the puking had to do with stomach upset from all the damn gelcaps, as kava never makes me puke. Fresh root is much more rewarding... I did find that at the peak of the gelcap experience, after a couple hits of herb were taken, I was VERY inebriated, bordering on psychedelic.

yeah i use iamshamans also. i wouldnt advise buying it from stores like that. and in my experience as said above the root powder in water or juice works the best. and you have to consume a lot for the effect to be more than subtle. iamshaman also sells capsules and extracts and if youre going to go that route id go with a site like that. the drinks to me taste pretty bad as i think most people would agree.

I like liquid Kava extract. Which is strange, because for all my other herbal supplements I like the whole-herb variety and not the extracts. But with Kava, I find it works really well.
