Why Powder?

Powder is the choice of the kratom connoisseur; for those willing to sacrifice convenience for enhanced results. A better bang for your buck with a robust activation time and more pronounced effects. Despite being infamous for its bitterness, powder remains the top dog.

Kratom and Food

It’s useful to know that kratom’s effects will be maximized on an empty stomach. After a large meal (600+ Calories), the body is absorbing and breaking down the nutrients present in your food. If kratom is present at this time, it will soon become diluted and cease to be effective. The same applies if food is eaten shortly before a kratom dose.

After a large meal, we recommend waiting an hour or two before your next kratom dose.

If at any time while using kratom you experience nausea, discomfort, or dizziness, this is likely an indicator that you have taken too much. At this point, calories can be consumed to suppress the kratom’s effect on the body. The extent of suppression is up to the discretion of the user based on the amount of calories consumed.

Dosage

There is no fixed guideline for an acceptable kratom dose, because each person’s biology is unique, however, 2.5g or 1 teaspoon is not a bad starting point. Progressively adjusting dosage according to your body’s reaction is the most suitable method. If you try kratom and it doesn’t work, we recommend increasing your next dose. Likewise, if kratom makes you feel nauseated, light-headed, or dizzy, decrease your next dose. 

Body weight is the most considerable factor regarding dosage. The dose of a 120lb individual will likely be lackluster for someone with much more body mass.

Taste

When using kratom powder, the taste will be bitter and strong. To make this easier, mix the kratom with a strongly flavored liquid drink (as opposed to water) that can mask the bitterness. Juices and soft drinks are great options.

Tips and Guidelines for use

Kratom powder takes effect relatively quickly, needing no more than 15-25 minutes to begin taking effect. Kratom’s effects will typically last somewhere between 3-6 hours and should be pronounced enough that the user knows it’s working.

Kratom powder is commonly made into a tea. This is not only to mask the taste, but also to manipulate the temperature for enhanced mixing and chemical activation.

It is not recommended to use kratom multiple times per day, as repeating this pattern of use may result in a physical dependence on the herb. If you have a chronic condition, consult your physician to find a suitable frequency of kratom use.

Storage

Kratom capsules are best stored in a cool and dry place so as to not melt the capsules inside the container. Capsules stored in a hot/humid environment will begin to melt and may pose safety hazards. If this takes place, we recommend disposal of the bottle.
