    Chemotype for BKH Palarasul?

    The 246351 was done using a chloroform extract in a HPLC machine. This is an outdated procedure in testing kava, as acetone is the most effective solvent in terms of yield. Palarasul would come up as 423156 using acetonic exract in a HPLC machine, which is how labs in the US test today.

    What do you like using as an alternative "bilo" other than a coconut shell?

    Food and Wine article about Kava

    Another important point I missed in this rant is that half of the new RTD kava beverages that I have found also sell the other K in RTD form. We need to separate these in every avenue possible and a traditional kava (non-extract) RTD would be a huge start to make the public more aware.

    In addition to this the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) specifically still includes cold water. I really wish the hot water prep was wiped from the internet. Making kava with hot water and calling it kava is like making cold brew coffee and just calling it coffee. Even the place...

    PR for kava

    I have a theory and I don't know if it is true but it could be something that may have gone overlooked as to why kava keeps getting these negative articles. The FDA works with this company called Legit Scripts (LegitScript is a Portland, Oregon-based internet and payments compliance company...
