@Deleted User01 and anyone else straining the micronized: Have you ever tried consuming the "sludge" left behind to see how much you might be losing in the way of effects? Just curious.
@betablocker As far as affecting my liver goes, I've had two blood panels measuring liver function while consuming kava daily and everything is always normal. Others here report similar results. Since everyone is different and you never know if someone might have an underlying liver function problem, it might be a good idea to get your enzymes checked every now and then.
If you want to improve your liver health, whether you are healthy or know you have issues to address, you may want to research ways to support the liver's methylation process, which will boost glutathione naturally. There are various supplements and many foods, among other things, that help with this.
I am not sure what the correlations among dermopathy, liver function, and ingesting undesirables might be, but I know I am very quick to get dermopathy from consuming root. I can drink GHK's micronized unfiltered whole in water in generous quantities and my dermopathy barely makes itself known, if at all.
