Kava Curious
Many reviews say that Wow! kava from Nakamal is very potent. Yet looking at the lab reports, most batches only have 5-6% kavalactone content.
In comparison, people also say Stone kava is potent, but that makes more sense given its 9% kavalactone content.
Can someone help me understand the relationship here? Why is it that a kava with relatively low kavalactone content can feel "strong" to people? I realize there are many factors at play when people CONSUME kava, like how it was prepared, how full your stomach is, etc. That's not what I'm asking about.
As far as the kava itself, are there other factors in its potency beyond kavalactone content?
