    Two problems with Kava supplements, quantity and quality.

    it takes a lot more Kava to feel the effects than can be contained in a capsule, or 5.

    To get around the quantity issue they’ll often use supplement grade kavalactones extracts, which are widely regarded as also ineffective, but it looks good on a packaging label.

    Maybe pharmaceutical grade kavalactone extract would be good in a high dosage, I can’t speak to that, either way, I’m talking about supplements, so I’ll refer you to my original snake oil comment.
