How long before kava kicks in?

I'm curious to know, how long does it typically take for the effects of kava to be noticeable? I've heard about its relaxing properties and am interested in trying it out, but I'm not sure what to expect. Do the effects vary from person to person, or is there a general timeframe that most people experience? Also, are there any specific factors that could affect how quickly kava kicks in, such as dosage, method of consumption, or personal tolerance? Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
