Kratom

With a host of potential benefits, kratom is exceptionally popular and available in a wide variety of forms. From raw, shredded kratom leaf to extracts, there are many ways to consume this unique plant. But where do you start? Allow us to break down everything you need to know so you can pick out a kratom product that will perform the way you want it to.

What is kratom?

Kratom, otherwise known as Mitragyna speciosa, is a plant native to Southeast Asia. The leaves of the plant contain psychoactive alkaloids—namely mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine—and are harvested and used for that very purpose. Traditionally, kratom was used in very much the same way as cannabis, and was even seen as a substitute for opium. However, in modern times, kratom is typically utilised for its soothing and energetic effects, and is available in more accessible and convenient methods of consumption.

How to use kratom

Kratom can be consumed in a variety of ways. The leaves themselves can be chewed, unleashing the alkaloids directly into the mouth and saliva. However, powdered or liquid kratom extracts can be swallowed, added to food, brewed into tea, or even made into capsules for effortless consumption. While there is no definitive way to use kratom, the options available mean that all users, regardless of prior experience, can sample what it has to offer at their own convenience.

Kratom extract

As a highly concentrated form of kratom, extracts pull no punches in terms of potency. Typically, they are available in powder, liquid, and capsule forms. It's thought that kratom extracts are easier to dose, especially with capsules, as they contain a predetermined amount of the substance. Of course, you can always measure powdered extracts and add them to food or drink to experience the effects you’re after as well.

Regular kratom

Regular kratom is simply the dried, shredded leaves, or powder derived from the leaves. As mentioned, this is more of the “traditional” method of using kratom. However, the taste of kratom can be a little sharp and bitter, so this is a potential downside to consider with these forms.

Kratom resin

Made using boiling water, kratom resin is produced without the use of any additional chemicals. The result is a pliable ball of resin with plenty of applications. Some add a lump to boiling water to produce their own tea, or simply chew it to release the alkaloids contained within. Taking just 5–10 minutes to produce effects, it's a quick and convenient way to dose the substance.
