When kava root materials are broken into named lactones for inventory or analytical work, dihydrokavain (CAS 587-63-3) is one of the marker compounds buyers request by CAS rather than by a vague “kava extract” label.
Comparison focus: extract vs named lactone
A kava extract is a multi-constituent botanical product. Dihydrokavain is a single kavalactone identity. Mixing those two article types on one PO creates COA mismatches—state which you need.
