Question about dosage: one capsule has 1,000mg of "at least 10%" Kavalactones, so roughly 100mg kavalactones per capsule? Does that mean it will likely take 2 to 3 capsules to give the equivalent of one
"standard" bowl of kava? (Frequently said to have 250mg per bowl)

We have found that total kavalactone percentage is a poor indicator of kava quality. We tested a lot of kava over the past 2 years. Some of them were 70% kavalactones. There was almost no correlation to total kavalactone percentage and strength of effects. There is a lot more complexity here than most people realize. We actually think there are some sort of natural microencapsulation with natural starches in the root that is playing a big role in the effects. We found ethanol and supercritical CO2 extracts to be garbage in comparison to traditional water extracts, even though those other extracts had much higher kavalactone amounts. Furthermore, our testing of the individual kavalactones showed that different extracts and cultivars had very different amounts and ratios of the specific kavalactones. So it is not just about getting the most kavalactones. It's about getting the right kavalacones in the proper ratios extracted with water in the traditional way to create these starch complexes. It's really interesting, and our research is not done on it yet. This extract is unique in that it takes the traditional water kneeding process that leads to the effects that people like, but does it in such a way that we can have it be made into tablets. We could have done more exotic extraction processes like supercritical CO2, but our internal testing showed those effects were lackluster. Our kava is a noble kava grown by a single farm on Fiji that is completely origin tracked, and has a chemotype of 463251. It actually has a really nice flavor as well, which is not common with many kavas that I have tried.
/u/Pretty-Chill is actually a long-time kava enthusiast, and I leaned on his experience with kava a lot during this development. I've tried multiple kavas before over the years, but he has way more experience than I do with kava. He can provide a lot of insight into things.
