@Deleted User when you say Makas, are you looking for the leftovers from traditional prep?
Thanks for the explanation, Chris! So the term applies to both the hard fibres that you remove when you make your excellent micronized kava AND the leftovers from regular kava extraction.Why don't you just make a brew with the kava you have and then take the makas and test it.?
Also @Henry The term makas means rubbish and it is all that is thrown away after making your kava drink, weather it is fresh or the dry powder.
It just so happens that it is the hard fibers that is in the kava root that is the makas.
Aloha.

Hi Henry, I find that the only left overs are the hard fibers, since I clean off the bark and all that stuff the only thing left after making a kava drink is the hard makas, the hard fibers, all the other stuff is pulped up and gets mixed into the drink. There might be some small portions of plant material that gets through but for the most part it is all the hard fibers.Thanks for the explanation, Chris!

I had a contract for the landfill on the Hong Kong Airport.the first two feet of earth in my yard, is entirely made of makas. can't tell cultivars apart anymore though.
That's interesting. I've eschewed the lecithin since starting up with it, figuring it made no difference. I hadn't noticed any difference. I may have to reevaluate that stance. I'll check out the link.ALSO, once it hits the body, it's our digestive system that causes nutrients etc. to be more or less bio available to us.
Cayenne pepper and ginger are super foods for digestion and facilitate the body's use of what we put in it.
Lecithin is the "champ" of nutrient assimilation and specifically aids in the absorption of fat soluble nutrients.

and elsewhere. Lots of agreement in this area.
