Kratom Plant

Kratom is a plant native to Southeast Asia that’s been around for years. It’s super popular in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia and helps aid with both relaxation and energy. Kratom can provide stress-relief, support athletic performance, and encourage focus. Taking it, you might experience extra motivation to get things done, a sense of calm and well-being, and a feeling of comfort.

In Asia, kratom is often ingested by chewing the fresh leaves. That’s because the tree grows in the wild there, so it’s never difficult to source kratom. The leaves can also be dried and crush to make a powder, which is often easier than chewing the leaves. Sometimes the powder can be mixed into beverages like teas to mask the bitter taste.

Purchasing kratom in the US is usually in powder or liquid form. Our exclusive line of extracts and high-quality kratom powder are designed to make individualized serving simple and easy. Kratom naysayers claim that its chemical makeup is so similar to opioids so it’s a danger to society. Advocates claim that while it does have opioid-like effects, the true experience is serving dependent.

When taking kratom, it’s really important that you’re mindful of any other medications or over the counter supplements, you might be taking. Never take kratom in conjunction with large servings of caffeine or alcohol and never combine it with other sedative medication.

Kratom Benefits

Kratom Benefits

Taking kratom can provide you with a wide array of benefits. It supports your body with a potential source of energy and helps you manage stress. Your immune system will get a boost.

Source of Energy

In Asia, where kratom has been used for centuries, many people use kratom to help them power through the day. The leaves have metabolic effects that help keep you energized, no matter your workload. Remember that each strain of kratom is best used for specific purposes; some kratom is going to be better suited for an energy boost than others. Kratom can also help promote blood circulation and the levels of oxygen found in your both. Both result in you feeling more awake and energized.

Stress Prevention

The sedative effects of kratom have long made it a go-to to help aid in mood elevation and wellness support. That’s because its soothing effects help produce feelings of being calm and general wellbeing.

It’s perfect for social engagements where you don’t know anyone or for periods of time when you’re stressed to the max but have to stay focused and alert. Kratom helps inhibit the calcium channels in your body, which in turn causes a neurotransmitter release to help balance some of the chemical imbalances that happen as a result of stress.

Other Things To Know

Things to know about kratom


Kratom hasn’t been well studied. Because of the lack of research, it hasn’t been officially recommended for medical use. Without wide-spread and well-controlled studies, it’s impossible to say how kratom will affect different people. Production of kratom isn’t regulated by any government agency so it’s difficult to suggest serving instructions, since the quality of product isn’t established and monitored.


Kratom has the potential to have serious side effects on the body. Emerging research shows that the alkaloid in kratom called mitragynine has addictive properties. That means that dependence can mimic dependence on other substances, which includes the following:

  • Hallucinations
  • Inability to sleep
  • Nausea
  • Sweating
  • Tremors

It’s important to remember that kratom contains almost as many alkaloids as opium and mushrooms. Alkaloids are a class of organic compounds that have significant psychological effects on people, including hallucinations and changes in mood.

Final Takeaway

Kratom’s use is highly personalized, so everyone is going to experience it differently. It’s so serving-dependent that to see the effects of this plant, you have to spend some time exploring and experimenting with your own personal levels. There are so many advantages of using kratom responsibly aside from those listed in this guide.
