Kava Curious
Hi everyone. I guess this is aimed at those kava experts amongst you here. I have become interested in making my own kava extract just to have handy when there's no time for traditional prep or that's easier to bring with me to places. Of course it seems that the easiest way to do this would be an alcoholic extract. However of course this is where we start getting into dodgy territories with the history of kava supplements. I know it's always said that alcohol extracts extract too many flavokains which make the product more dangerous. However I was wondering whether doing an alcohol extract with noble kava is as dangerous if you evaporate all the alcohol off. It's just because I was wondering whether it was really to do with the alcohol extraction or the use of tudei kava with higher flavokains concentrations in old supplements that caused the issues. If alcohol extracts do really extract more harmful molecules from kava shouldn't we be as wary of micronised kava and perhaps the boil up method of preparing kava.
Any insight into going forward with an alcohol extract would be appreciated. And letting me know whether my logic is sound or whether I'm missing a key price of information hahaha
