Whether you’re new to kratom or just looking to cultivate your experience, it’s important to know how to use kratom safely and effectively. Different folks may have a better experience utilizing different forms of kratom, as well as higher or lower concentrations or dosages.
At Mitra Bros, we care about making your time with our kratom products as enjoyable as possible. Below, we’ve compiled some background knowledge and tips into a simple kratom safety guide to ensure that you get the most out of your kratom journey in a safe, effective manner.
What’s in Kratom?
Kratom, also known as mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical tree indigenous to Southeast Asia. Kratom leaves contain two primary active ingredients: mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. Kratom leaves are used as herbal supplements and in traditional remedies. The leaves are typically chewed, brewed into teas, smoked, or ground into powder and placed into kratom capsules.
Kratom is said to have a stimulating effect, and users often discuss increased energy, easier sociability, elevated attentiveness, and a better overall mood. Studies have been conducted regarding kratom’s potential as an alternative to opioids, although the results have been mixed.
How to Take Kratom: Tea, Powder, Capsules
There are a few different options for taking kratom. In Southeast Asia, kratom has traditionally been brewed into a tea, or the leaves are chewed directly. In the U.S. the leaves are often ground up and either sold as a powder or in capsule form.
If you’re researching how to take kratom, you’ll first need to pick a type. Many people enjoy mixing powdered kratom with ice, fruit, and other ingredients to make smoothies, while others prefer the simplicity of pre-measured capsules. Chewing the leaves directly can be an acquired taste. Powders and capsules have the added benefit of more direct methods of measurement.
Make Sure You Trust Your Kratom Source
Whichever form of kratom you prefer, make sure that you pick a trusted source. Like other products, the biggest problem arises when buying from unscrupulous suppliers. Providers without a proper pedigree may include unsafe additives, fail to package appropriately, include inaccurate information about strains and origins, and otherwise complicate kratom safety.
To ensure you have the best kratom experience, look for the American Kratom Association’s stamp of approval. All of the kratom products at Mitra Bros meet the AKA’s standards for Good Manufacturing Practices.
Proper Dosage and Kratom Safety
Using the right dosage is another key factor in ensuring kratom safety. Different folks have different tolerances, and your body’s tolerance may change over time as you grow more accustomed to kratom’s effects. Typically, it’s best to start with a lower dose and work your way up. There’s no need to over-do it on your first go. Your preferred dosage may vary depending on the form of kratom you’re taking.
It’s important to do your own research about dosage levels. Make sure to consult your trusted healthcare professionals if you have any concerns about dosage levels, interactions with other medications you may be taking, or any other health concerns.
Precise Dosing Can Help You Find Your Perfect Level
To use kratom safely, it’s important to know exactly how much kratom you are taking at any given time. Unfortunately, not all kratom capsules are created equally.
When you are experimenting to find your perfect dose, there’s nothing more frustrating than realizing you can’t trust the dosages on the bottle. Some companies sell capsules with dosages that vary wildly within each capsule. How are you supposed to know how many to take when one random capsule might have the strength of three others, or almost none at all?
Mitra Bros’ kratom capsules are measured with industry-leading precision, to ensure that you know exactly how much you are taking with every experience. If you are testing your tolerance and preferences, you can trust Mitra Bros to provide you with the most consistent dosage standards across the kratom market. Make sure you have all the information you need, and all the clarity you deserve, to practice kratom safety.
The Most Important Factor is You
At the end of the day, kratom is like anything else: What works best for someone else might be different from what works best for you. Stay in tune with your mind and your body, and adjust to yourself as needed.
If you find that you are not feeling enough of the effects at a low dosage, try incremental increases. If you find yourself overstimulated, try dropping the dosage down a notch. Kratom is here for your enjoyment, and no one knows your body better than you and your trusted healthcare team.
