I'd reckon fresh plan roots are your best bet. Otherwise its hard to say really because different vendors sell different products and aren't always explicitly clear about what you're getting.
We don't do any vendor discussion here so we can't go into specifics there.
A main concern for any kava use is that there are certain parts of the plant that you don't want to consume, I believe its the stems and leaves. The roots are what you're after. So there were concerns about liver toxicity because of some extracts that had stems and leaves; this raised major concerns about kava in general but I believe it was clarified that just certain preparations were the cause of all the adverse reactions becasue of parts fo the plant they were using

I bought some extract from a popular auction site and its alright but from what i read im missing out. I've found a seller on the same site selling ground root powder by the pound, which doesnt contain any stem or leaf.I guess i'll give them a try, the powder they are selling is from Hawaii if that makes any difference.
