Comments about Herb Pharm Pharma Kava, 1 fl oz:
First of all, let me say that this thing tastes absolutely awful. I mix it with some natural flavorings, sweeten it with stevia to make it a little more palatable. You'll have to experiment with both, the dosage and masking the flavor. If you absolutely can't stand the taste, you might want to try them in pill form, though I don't know how effective these are in capsules. I take two droppers full, swish it around my mouth (I've heard enzymes in our mouth activate the kavalactones). I'll feel a numbing sensation in my mouth and then you start feeling more relaxed. If I take too much, I will feel groggy.
