@Dua Na Bilo I looked through your website and noticed that you don't yet have the FDA disclaimer which I believe is mandatory for any dietary supplement product or publication. Something like this in the website footer should suffice:

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Results may vary.

Thank you for this!

8.8% kavalactone content. For those of us who are not hip is this percentage high, low or inconsequential?

It all depends on the testing method. The USP's results are usually 2-4 points higher than, let's say, TK's results. BUT, even if it's USP then 8% is likely to be quite decent

Is that a TK thing, were results are lower compared to the rest?

I believe HPLC results from labs in America usually show lower %. But perhaps @Deleted User uses a more accurate methodology. But I don't know the details. Perhaps he'll jump in to explain.

Is there a standard to say his method is more accurate or are you just saying that?

I think his (and many others') method is just more up to date. I *think* that the USP method is from the 1990s and since then the method has been improved. But I am not an expert, I don't really know. I've just heard it many times from various sources that some of the results produced using the old method might give exaggerated percentages of kavalactones.

I also wonder about the testing because the Honokane Iki I just got said it tested at an average of 14% kavalactones and that sounds insanely high but I have no reason not to trust GHK ... It's good kava though.

I'm quite interested in trying this Yalu though considering it seems to be a rarer strain when it comes to availability and the price seems great, especially for waka! :)

The reports of Yalu being one of the more anxiolytic strains definitely interest me ..

No wonder I liked it so much, it's a Vula!

What do you mean by this? I looked it up and it appears that Vula is a different strain .. is there something in common or is Vula a phenotype or something?

Very interested in learning all I can and your comment interested me :)

(EDIT: Nevermind, I see Vula means green kava now, I apologize.)
