By December 15, 2022January 18, 2023Kava Q&A, Tips Kava or Kava tea is a beverage made by pounding or grinding the roots of the piper methysticum plant. The milky pulp is soaked in water before being filtered into a drink. Drinking Kava can induce feelings of euphoria, muscle relaxation, and other calming effects. These sedating effect may have you curiously asking, does Kava show up on drug tests? NO! Kava DOES NOT show up on drug test.Kava can be detected on many types of drug tests, but since there is no widespread testing for Kava and it’s not considered a controlled substance in the United States, it is unlikely to cause a failure on any drug test… and to that we say, thank you Jesus!Now let’s dive deeper and take a look at how drug testing is performed and why Kava is unlikely to make your next drug test a failure. What are the Different Kava Drug Tests? There are four main types of drug tests in use today. They are the Reagent, Mass Spectronomy, Gas Chromatography, and Immunoassay drug tests. Below we will take a closer look at each one. Reagent Kava Drug Test The Reagent drug test is the cheapest and simplest form of drug testing. It is not designed to show how much of a substance is in someone’s urine but works on a pass-or-fail detection standard. These tests are only designed to test for one drug and chemical. It will only indicate a positive result if the substance is present. The reagent tests are the most common at-home drug tests. To perform a drug test with a Reagent drug test, you need to dip the strip of the drug test in a urine sample. After a few minutes, the color will change to indicate if there is a positive finding. Reagent tests would be able to find the presence of Kava but only if it’s designed for that purpose. Tests for Kavas are not available to the public and are only currently used in scientific research and product quality testing. Mass SpectronomyThis is the top end of drug testing. It is extremely accurate but also quite expensive. During a Mass Spectronomy drug test, blood or urine is broken into molecules and they are sent down a magnetic tube detector. After the molecules are analyzed, the results will be a complete breakdown of each compound found in the sample, even ones the testers didn’t know to look for. Kava will be detected during a Mass spectronomy test. Gas Chromatography Drug TestGas Chromatography (GC) drug testing has been the most common drug testing used for decades. During a GC test, the urine sample will be turned into a vapor and collected through a long thin tube. At the end of the tube, a UV sensor will detect the vapor coming out of it. As the vapor travels in the tube, the less dense particles will travel to the top and the denser particles will drop to the bottom
