All About Kratom Powder

Kratom is most commonly sold in powder format. The powder is what many suppliers will use to create their other products. As multiple Kratom products are powders, it can be hard to discern one from another. Once you get a handle on what Kratom powder is, you might feel more comfortable looking through a Kratom store to find the best match for your needs.

How Is The Powder Made?

The powder is the most natural form of Kratom, as it is the closest product to the raw plant materials. The Kratom tree, mitragyna speciosa, grows large leaves, which are harvested to make the powder. Once the leaves have been strategically picked, they are left to dry and ground into a powder. The supplier will take this raw powder and use it to make a wide variety of other products you will see for sale.

Differentiating Between The Extracts & Powders

Two Kratom products that tend to look very similar are the extracts and the powders. While many herbaceous extracts often take on a liquid form, Kratom extract is most commonly sold as a powder, making it very confusing for customers. While it is easy to joke about making this mistake, if a consumer chooses an extract accidentally and uses too much, it could have serious consequences.

While Kratom extract is sometimes produced using the raw leaves, the powder is used to make the extracts in almost all circumstances. The powders are combined with a specific amount of water before getting heated. Once the solution boils, the water will extract the active components, and water vapor will boil off. What is left over will be the plant material (which now has no active components) and a thick dark substance. This substance is strained, taking out the more considerable inert plant material and then left to dry. Once the thick dark solution dries, it is ground up into a darker powder and sold as extracts.

Even though the extract will have a darker color, it can still be complicated to distinguish between the two thoroughly. If you are buying from a reputable source, they should have their products correctly labeled. If you have found a reliable retailer, it is best to stay loyal, as switching up sellers could provide you with inconsistent products.

Putting Kratom Powder To Use

As Kratom powder is the base format for all other Kratom products, there are plenty of ways to put it to good use. Depending on your preferences and your research’s intent, you may opt for one format over another if it adds convenience. With time you will know which one works best for you.

Tea: Tea is an easy way to use Kratom powder. You can add it in with other teas you have. As the taste may be too potent for you, the other options might be more favorable.

Capsules: Capsules are the most convenient method for using Kratom. The powder is added into a gel cap, which can be transported and used, knowing that each dose is the same.

Smoothie: For Kratom newcomers that may be averse to the smell or taste of the product, adding it to food is the best option. Smoothies can mask the taste while still providing all the benefits.

Smoking It?

Nope. While you can attempt to stuff a pipe or rolling paper full of Kratom powder, it could be dangerous. Most suppliers would highly recommend against smoking Kratom powder as it won’t provide you with benefits and could pose serious health hazards.

Leave It To The Professionals

Leaving it to the professionals to source and create your Kratom powder and related products is the best course of action when starting your Kratom journey. When using active compounds for researching purposes, having high-quality professional products is a must.

Buying Kratom powder from a reputable professional is the best way to learn more and achieve the best results.
