Method Description
Kavalactones are lipophilic compounds responsible for kava's psychoactive effects, including kavain, dihydrokavain, and methysticin. These compounds are monitored because they determine the therapeutic potency of kava products and support standardization of herbal supplements marketed for stress relief and relaxation. The method separates individual kavalactones based on their distinct chemical structures and characteristic absorption properties.
