The leaves of the Kratom plant, traditionally found in Southeast Asia, are consumed either by chewing, brewing, or consuming in a pill form. Kratom extract is a more potent form of Kratom that is manufactured by boiling Kratom leaves down into a concentrated liquid.
Potency and Dosage
When compared to Kratom powder, extracts are much more potent. The concentrated liquid contains the same alkaloid profile as the Kratom leaves, but in a more concentrated form, so a smaller amount of extract is required to achieve the same effects. Dosage is critical, and it can vary greatly depending on personal factors such as age, weight, and the desired results.
Typically, first-time extract users are advised to start with a small dose and gradually increase the amount, as desired.
Effects
Extract produces similar effects as experienced with Kratom powder. The alkaloids found in Kratom are known for producing analgesic, anxiolytic, and sometimes stimulating effects. The extract can help to enhance alertness, focus, and concentration, making it an often effective energy booster for those who need to stay productive.
With regular use Kratom extract can also help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and improve cognitive abilities.
Types of Kratom Extract
The extract is available in three main categories, namely resin, liquid, and powder extract. Each type of extract has its unique properties and advantages. Resin extract is known for its solid form and is often used in making Kratom soap, candles, or incense.
However, liquid Kratom is more potent and easier to use. Powder Kratom extract is another option that’s gaining rapid popularity because it’s easy to measure the quantity of Kratom extract used in powdered form.
