How to Consume Kratom

Kratom is a versatile herbal extract that can be consumed in several ways. The way you choose to take Kratom depends on your preferences and budget. Whichever way you decide to consume Kratom, following a few basic guidelines will help you achieve the best results.

In this article, you’ll learn:

What are the different forms of Kratom?

Kratom comes in various forms, including powder, capsules, and extract or tincture. These are the most common ways of taking Kratom as they tend to be the most potent, but you can consume it in other ways. Some people choose to enjoy Kratom as a resin or a tea, while others like to chew the Kratom leaf directly. These are the three most popular forms of Kratom. 

  1. Kratom powder
  2. Kratom capsules
  3. Kratom extract 
  4. Edibles

Kratom powder

Kratom powder is the most common and cost-effective way to consume Kratom. The powder is made from crushed Kratom leaves, and you can enjoy all strains of Kratom in powder form. Some people find the taste of Kratom powder to be bitter and earthy, but don’t let that put you off — there are plenty of ways to overcome this.

How to consume Kratom powder 

Some people with a high tolerance to bitter and earthy tastes may choose to swallow the Kratom powder directly. To do this, toss the powder to the very back of your throat and follow with a chaser. This method is called ‘Toss and Wash’ and is great if you want to feel the effects of Kratom immediately. 

Mix Kratom with drinks 

The most common way to enjoy Kratom powder is by mixing it into other beverages. Add Kratom powder to your favorite smoothie, or mix it with a highly acidic juice to help override the bitter taste. Orange juice is a great place to start. 

Tea is another popular method of consuming Kratom powder. Simply mix the powder with boiling water, lemon juice, and honey and let it brew and then strain. However, straining it means you will lose some of the plant matter, so you may lose some efficacy of the Kratom as not all of the alkaloids will come out from steeping.

Mix Kratom with food 

If you want to enjoy Kratom with food, choose foods that have a strong flavor. Mix the powder in with a delicious flavored yogurt or a spicy sauce. 

Kratom capsules 

Another way to consume Kratom is in capsule form. Kratom capsules consist of powdered Kratom wrapped up in a small, easy-to-swallow capsule. Capsules are the most costly way to consume Kratom. 

It’s worth noting that Kratom capsules take longer to have an effect as the gelatin wall of the capsule needs to be broken down. The capsules can be more convenient as the Kratom is already measured out in dosages. 

Kratom extracts

Kratom extracts are the most concentrated form of Kratom. An extraction process is used to separate the alkaloids from the actual plant matter. You don’t have to take as much as you would with the powder or a capsule because the alkaloids are highly concentrated, making it a highly potent form of Kratom. This method of consuming Kratom is more costly due to the time required to create Kratom extracts.

Liquid extract drinks are a popular way of consuming Kratom extracts. For example, our ‘Tasteless Kratom’ consists of a flavorless high-potency extract that is combined with fruit-punch flavored powder. Not only is the Kratom flavorless, but the drink also tastes great! Simply mix the powder with water and enjoy the best tasting Kratom of your life! Tasteless Kratom is available in single-serving packets of 50mg or 100mg potency.

Kratom edibles

Kratom edibles are tasty, Kratom-infused edible goods that come in several different forms. They are made using a Kratom extract and the most popular forms include gummies or baked goods. Edibles are a great way to consume Kratom if you prefer something that tastes delicious and is convenient.

What is the best way to consume Kratom?

With so many different ways to consume Kratom, it’s hard to know which way best suits your needs and lifestyle. Overall, the best way to use Kratom varies for each person depending on how much they’re willing to spend, how fast they want to feel the effects of Kratom, and their tolerance to earthy, bitter flavors. 

The most affordable Kratom 

Powder is the best way to consume Kratom if you want something that’s easy to consume and affordable. You will need a strong threshold for bitter flavors or may experiment with mixing it with other things to conceal the natural taste of the powder. This is also the most versatile way to consume Kratom, as you can add it to smoothies, food, or make it into a tea.

The most convenient Kratom

If you prefer convenience and would rather avoid the taste of powder, Kratom capsules and Kratom extracts are the best way for you to enjoy Kratom. If you choose capsules, expect the costs to be higher. 

The fastest-acting Kratom 

For the greatest potency and fast-acting effects of Kratom, an extract or tincture is the best way to consume Kratom. 

How long should you wait after eating to consume Kratom?

Kratom has the best effect when there isn’t much food in your stomach. This is because Kratom attaches to receptors on your stomach. So, if you’re full, the Kratom has to work harder to attach. Taking Kratom on a full stomach can reduce the effectiveness and increase the length of time until you feel the benefits. 

The time you should wait after eating to consume Kratom also differs for each person. However, you should follow some general guidelines to ensure you achieve the best results.

We recommend that you wait a few hours after eating to consume Kratom. Alternatively, it is a good idea to consume Kratom first thing in the morning when you have an empty stomach, as you’ll be more likely to be receptive to its effects. 

How often can you consume Kratom?

The amount of Kratom you can consume depends on individual factors such as the potency of the Kratom, an individual’s tolerance level, and how long they have been consuming Kratom. 

Kratom has a half-life of 24-hours, meaning it takes roughly one full day for half of the dosage to get metabolized, absorbed, and excreted. 

This means the effects of Kratom last between four to eight hours, depending on the person, so an individual can take up to three doses a day depending on their needs.

Generally, each dose should be between one to five grams. If it is your first time using Kratom, start with two to four grams of Kratom and leave a 12-hour gap between doses. 

A 2018 study revealed that most people take a dose of up to five grams, taken up to three times a day as an adequate amount to experience effects.
