In a nutshell:

Choosing the right kratom isn’t difficult if you know what to focus on.

How kratom is grown and used

Kratom is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia with a long history of use in traditional medicine. The leaves of the kratom tree are usually dried and processed into a powder that can be taken by mouth or made into a tea. Really popular are kratom capsules. Kratom is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • pain
  • anxiety
  • fatigue

In recent years, kratom has become increasingly popular because of its amazing effects. Kratom is usually grown in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia and Thailand. The trees can grow up to 30 meters tall and have large, shiny leaves. 

Kratom is usually harvested from wild trees, although it can also be cultivated. Kratom plants need plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil to grow. After harvesting, the leaves are usually dried and ground into a  kratom powder. Kratom tea is often used as a means of relaxation or stress relief

What are the types of kratom?

We go into detail about the different types of kratom and the overall selection of the right products in an elaborate article on our blog "Different types of kratom: How to choose the best one for your needs?" and we definitely recommend reading it, but let's at least briefly introduce the types of kratom. 

Kratom is most commonly available in three colors: green kratom, red kratom, and white kratom. On Kratomit.eu you can also find a gold kratom from beautiful island Borneo. Because of the island it has the name kratom Borneo. Each color of kratom has unique effects

White kratom

White kratom strains are said to be more stimulating than other strains, and they are often used to boost energy levels and improve concentration. Some people also report that white kratom can help to alleviate pain and reduce anxiety. It promotes alertness and mental clarity, making it ideal for a daily boost.

However, there is little scientific evidence to support these claims, and kratom can have serious side effects, including seizures, liver damage, and death. On kratomit.eu you can buy powdered kratom white Maeng-da for example.

Red kratom 

White kratom is said to be more calming and relaxing. It is often chosen by individuals seeking to manage stress or promote a sense of well-being. 

Some users also note that it can enhance mood and create a subtle sense of euphoria when taken in moderate doses. A popular form is compressed red kratom.

Green kratom

Green kratom is said to fall somewhere in between, providing energy without being overstimulating. The feeling from green kratom is really pretty, relaxing and it also can help you with bad mood or pain. 

You can try kratom green Entikong and kratom green Maeng da – in the popular powdered form for example. These two types of kratom are the most favorite. 

What else matters when choosing kratom?

Besides the types of kratom, a lot depends on other things, aspects. The choice is not easy, especially if you don't know much, but let's try to simplify it a bit.

Form of the product

Perhaps as important as the variety of kratom is its form, composition, etc. We have mentioned the powder several times above, but we are also talking about the powder compressed into small tablets. Then there are capsules, crushed leaves, extracts, tea or even edibles. This does not affect the strength of the kratom product, i.e. its effects, but this is obviously very important when choosing a product. Do you prefer the economical choice, i.e. powder, or are you more in favour of compact and slightly more expensive tablets for travel? That's the question. 

Quality and Sourcing

When purchasing kratom, it’s essential to prioritize quality. Ensure that the product comes from a trusted source and has been lab-tested for purity. Reliable suppliers will provide assurances that their kratom is free from contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides, guaranteeing safety and effectiveness.

Freshness

The freshness of kratom significantly affects its potency and overall experience. Check the packaging date to ensure the product hasn’t been sitting on the shelf for too long. Additionally, inquire about how the supplier stores their stock to maintain quality over time.

Price and value

While it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest option, low prices can sometimes indicate compromised quality. Compare prices among reputable vendors to ensure you’re getting a product that offers good value for your money without sacrificing safety or efficacy.

Vendor reputation

A vendor’s reputation is a crucial factor in ensuring you receive high-quality kratom. Take the time to read reviews and check ratings to learn about other customers’ experiences. Trustworthy sellers typically provide transparent and detailed information about their products and sourcing.

Taste preferences and selection of kratom

Another thing to keep in mind is that:

  • Different strains can have different tastes
  • Some people prefer the taste of kratom that is more bitter, while others prefer the taste of kratom that is more sweet. 

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what type of kratom you want to use based on your own preferences. However, it all depends on you which kratom you like. You can try all kinds and then choose your favorite. 

The effects of kratom according to dosage

Kratom products can have different effects depending on the dosage. A low dose of kratom may provide energy and focus, while a high dose may cause relaxed sedation. This is also somewhat related to the requirements for kratom selection, although not directly.
