Ok, I wrote this within my journal this morning, after my first night attempting substituting ND’s 10% kavalactone tablets, instead of using my normal kava 70% extract tabs (which should feel different, and may require further tweaking and testing with a larger amount of ND’s tablets, simply due to kavalactone content — the following is based on 10. So, here goes.
Per your request:
The ND Kava Kava 10% extract, taken at full one to one substitution (test number one, “high frugality hopes”) replacing each normally-used 70% kavalactone kava extract powder capsule with one single 10% ND extract tablet, just as well as being underwhelming compared with the dehydrated kava by “Drink Root,” which I find to be the most frugal, effective, and responsibly sourced option out there. Sure Drink Root is pricey, but it’s worth it when it comes to purity and quality sourcing, accordingly. I really was hoping that ND and DrinkRoot would collaborate, at one point. But alas, nothing came from such hope. We all can dream . . .
Gonna get a bit redundant here, per usual reflection of mine, but, to continue:
ND’s extract is just way too light of a feeling for one to one replacement with my 70% kavalactone extract caps — and I was tossing and turning, wide awake (with stress, a normal phenomenon given my occupation), until I took my normal kava extract 70% kavalactone capsules, but…I’ve be…

Thanks for the honest feedback! As I was saying, I am not a heavy kava user. That's why I want to hear from people on it. You are correct in assuming we made this one for the average supplement consumer, not the heavy kava users. More heavy kava users are likely not going to get that strong sedating effect they might want. I relied a lot on /u/Pretty-Chill's experience and feedback, since he is the one that uses kava extensively. I just don't have the kava use history or experience to say how strong users will react. I also think there is going to be a lot of variability in this one, kind of like Sabroxy. However, even there I acquiesced to the stronger crowd. We have 500mg Sabroxy tablets coming out soon. So it's not like this is the end of our work with kava, either. Different chemotypes and potentially stronger concentration extracts could be a possibility.
If you would be willing, could you send me some of the kava extracts that you have been reacting well to? I will have them run through our lab to get an idea of the concentrations and ratios of the kavalactones.
