Kratom - Facts and Extracts... More Bang for Your Buck
For somebody a new comer to discovering the benefits and types of kratom, the purchasing choices can be almost overwhelming... and the details are often confusing & conflicting.
Are 15X kratom extracts really 15 times more potent than "traditional" kratom powders & leaves? Is one seller's kratom stronger/better/safer then another sellers? How can one know if I'm buying real kratom leaves?
It's my hope to offer some aid in helping you making good decisions (or at best help you to steer clear of the really bad decisions), with regards to purchasing kratom "Incense".
Please understand the limitations want to know ,, which should be considered editorial, just because a lot of the conclusions made herein are due to my very own look for "the truth", when it comes to buying this unique leaf. The claims contained herein are sensible choices, but are more importantly my own personal choices, based on my wants, concerns and tastes - which might certainly not correspond to yours. I encourage you, your reader, to carry on your personal research, and decide on what is best for you, according to your wants, concerns and choices. OK -Let's begin!
KRATOM EXTRACTS: Upon first blush, it seems to create sense (and save dollars) to purchase 28 grams (that's one ounce) of "15X Full Spectrum Kratom" for $80*, Then an oz of "Commercial Kratom" leaf or powder for $10*... in the end, it's 15X stronger, and just 10X the cost - right?
Well, most likely, not. I've done quite a lot of first-hand and internet research on this, as well as in my estimation, along with the general consensus from a number of other users in piles of forums, is that a "good starter dose" of 15X extracts are usually around Two or three grams. Actually, a "good starter dose" of the quality standard commercial leaf or leaf powder is about 7-10 grams, or Three to five times the quantity of 15X Kratom. Well, 15X kratom is generally priced upwards of 10-to-15 times more costly by weight (8 times the total amount in my example*), so you will probably pay more per dose for that 15X extract then for that equivalent dose of plain leaf or powder. Yes, you should utilize more product, which may be unpleasant for you, but there are options that may fit your lifestyle, for example capsules.
Another thing to think about... obviously, an extract should be removing (extracting) something, to be able to "concentrate something else", and be an extract, right? Now, I really love fresh-squeezed orange juice in the morning, it's really delicious, in taste and texture and aftertastes. "Frozen from concentrate" orange juice, is an orange juice extract... could they be the same? I'm not saying that fresh-squeezed OJ is much better or worse than "Concentrate", but it IS different, & Personally, i hate that tin-can taste you receive from concentrate - but you have to choose what "flavor" fits your needs - this goes true when choosing your "flavor" of kratom.
CRAZY EXTRACT CLAIMS: If you have been researching, you've probably seen 35X, 50X... 120X... even 250X Kratom extracts. WOW, this should be some potent stuff! Honestly, the "X" in that number is arbitrary, but, because the typical Mitragyna speciosa (kratom leaf) alkaloid content is right-around 5%, we'll use that number as the value of "1X Kratom". OK, which means that anyone claiming greater than a 20X extract has performed a miracle - they've extracted a lot more than 100% (5% times 20 = 100%) of the alkaloids in those leaves!! Do you really wish to "dose-up" on something sold as what must be a lie (or at best a careful deception)? Personally, I'm also dubious of anything labeled & branded as "Super" or "Ultra" or "ultimate"... you get the idea.
PLEASE, Avoid KRYPTON! This product has sometimes been marketed as a 50X kratom, or Krypton Kratom, but it is a product that has been adulterated with another, very strong synthetic opioid - this stuff can be lethal! Personally, i feel it's best to stay-clear of something that has been branded as "fortified"... stick to Mother Nature... Mother Nature is wise, Mother Nature knows best!
CONCLUSION: As you likely can tell, I'm personally not just a great fan of kratom extracts, it's my belief that kratom ought to be used responsibly in the natural, unadulterated form.
