There are three very popular kratom strains, including Maeng Da, Borneo and Bali. However there are several other strains too, for example, Hulu, Thai, Bentuangie, Dragon, to name a few. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the different strains before you order kratom online.  

Originally, kratom was consumed by chewing on the dried leaves, mostly by field laborers in SE Asia. Today, kratom can be consumed by smoking, brewing tea, swallowing powder with liquid (“toss ‘n’ wash”), ingesting capsules, or using tincture extracts. Different consumption methods result in different onset times, durations and potencies.

Kratom has many different effects, depending on the strain or color. At one end, kratom is used for reducing stress, relaxing, and even as a sedative. On the other end, it can boost energy levels, increase confidence and focus, and improve one’s overall sense of well being.

The duration of the effects of kratom vary depending on some factors, like how you consume it. For example, with capsules, the effects can last anywhere between 3 to 5 hours, whereas with tinctures, the duration is a bit shorter, at 2 to 4 hours.

Like many herbs with mood-altering qualities, kratom is safe when taken responsibly and in moderate doses. The right amount of kratom for you may depend on many factors like your habits, body size and type, and overall health. If you feel any negative effects, consult your physician.

The legality of kratom varies from country to country, as well as within certain countries. For example, in the USA, it is fully legal in some states, restricted in others, and banned in a few. Always check your local regulations to know the legal status of kratom.

Choosing the right kratom strain for you is a matter of knowing why you want to use it. For example, Green Thai or White Borneo are great for energy boosting, while Red Bali or Chocolate Bentuangie have the opposite effect of stress relief and relaxation.

Kratom powder and capsules have different pros and cons. Powders let you have more control over your dosage, but they can be less simple to consume. Meanwhile capsules are very convenient and portable, although you will be limited to taking doses of one-gram intervals.

If you’ve never taken kratom, then you have not built up any Kratom tolerance levels. This means that, as a beginner,you should begin with smaller doses. One rule of thumb is to take about 15 to  20 milligrams of kratom for every kilo of your body weight.

Kratom can have an incredibly long shelf life if you store it properly. Whether you have powder, capsules or tinctures, you should always store your kratom in a cool, dry and dark place. Humidity is a likely way to spoil kratom, as is too much direct sunlight.

Kratom shots are not the same thing as extracts. A kratom shot is a small bottle often containing about 1 to 3 servings of a high-potency dose. Kratom extracts, or tinctures, are highly concentrated liquids and contain around 15 servings per bottle.

Drinking your kratom as a tea is one of the oldest ways to consume kratom. The tea is made by brewing dried crushed kratom leaves. The flavor varies from more or less bitter depending on the strain and color. Kratom tea is good for a moderate experience and average duration.

There are many different kinds of kratom. These varieties are based on factors like location where it’s grown, the maturity of the leaves, and different drying methods. Additionally, there are several ways to consume kratom, resulting in even more versatility regarding effects, potency and duration.
