One of the most appealing things about kratom is that it comes in different forms. You can use kratom in several ways depending on your needs. As a natural leaf, kratom can be processed into a powder that makes it very easy to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom powder is just one option. Kratom is also available in the form of an extract. Both kratom powder and kratom extract have their advantages. The choice most often comes down to individual preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom powder<\/a> is probably the most common way to buy and use kratom. If you go to any retail outlet or order kratom online, you will most likely find kratom powder. But kratom extract is becoming another common option from kratom suppliers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the main differences between kratom powder and kratom extract? What are the advantages of kratom powder and kratom extract? And what are the best and safest ways to use kratom powder and kratom extract? This guide will walk you through the details about kratom powder and kratom extract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What is Kratom Powder?<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"What<\/div>\n

First, kratom is the name for the plant Mitragyna speciosa. This is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. Mitragyna speciosa grows wild throughout central and southern Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar. It is also grown in some of the island nations of this region of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom has been used as a traditional medicine in Southeast Asia for centuries because it contains high concentrations of alkaloids such as Mitragynine<\/a> and 7-hydroxymitragynine, the two\u00a0<\/span>alkaloids<\/span>\u00a0mainly responsible for the effects of kratom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the leaves have been harvested and dried according to the various specifications for each strain of kratom, these can be further processed and ground into a powder. Kratom powder is effectively the kratom leaf. It is not concentrated or enhanced in any way. The degree of the potency of kratom powder is entirely dependent upon the individual strain and variety from which the kratom powder is derived.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Kratom Extract?<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"What<\/div>\n

Kratom extract tends to be a little more concentrated than kratom powder. The extract most often begins with kratom powder. Some extracts are made from the whole leaves. The extraction process is water extraction. Some kratom extracts may come from extractions using other solvents such as alcohol. It is similar to boiling tea. The extractions can use the entire plant in some cases, the goal of which is to pull out the desired alkaloids into the solution. This solution is further concentrated so that all solids and particulate matter can be removed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What we end up with is something of a dark paste which is dried until it is brittle. The final extraction is then processed into an oil. The resulting extraction is more powerful than kratom powder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom extract is more expensive than kratom powder. Since kratom extract necessarily requires more resources and time to produce than kratom powder, it is more expensive. But keep in mind that you will need much less kratom extract to produce the same effects as kratom powder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Supportive Properties of Kratom Powder<\/b><\/h2>\n

The supportive properties of kratom powder are many. Kratom is unique in that it provides both a lift and a calming effect. While some people will use kratom instead of coffee for a morning perk, others take kratom to relax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom powder provides stimulant effects that are more comprehensive than something like caffeine. Kratom\u00a0promotes natural\u00a0energy production, but it also supports focus. The stimulant properties of kratom powder supports your brain functions, making it possible to maintain concentration in addition to having increased energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But kratom also provides a mellowing effect. In the correct serving size, kratom helps settle you down. Many people use kratom for things like stress and general overload.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom powder also may help promote feelings of ease. One of the traditional uses of kratom<\/a> is to provide stress relief and relaxation since kratom may create a settling effect on the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the practical benefits of kratom powder is that it can be taken easily. Kratom tea is a common and popular way to consume kratom, and tea can be made more palatable than straight kratom powder.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits of Kratom Extract<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"Benefits<\/div>\n

The primary benefit of kratom extract is its potency. Depending on the extraction process, kratom extract can be as much as 50 times more potent than kratom powder. What this means is that if you are used to using one gram of kratom powder, the same amount of kratom extract is going to potentially be 50 times stronger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The increased potency of kratom extract means it can be taken in much smaller quantities. You will only need a fraction of what you normally use to get the same effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom extract tends to work faster than kratom powder. This can be important for people who use kratom to support their wellness routine, for example. If you are in need of a natural body support, a small amount of kratom extract will kick in fast and work much more effectively.\u00a0
<\/span><\/p>\n

Differences Between Kratom Powder And Kratom Extract?<\/b><\/h2>\n

We should be clear in saying the kratom powder and kratom extract are very different. Both are forms of kratom, but they should not be treated as the same product. Kratom powder and kratom extract differ in some key areas:<\/span><\/p>\n

Potency<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kratom extract is distinctly more potent than kratom powder. Since kratom extract basically consists of the active alkaloids that make kratom work it will affect your quicker and with more intensity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kratom powder is prepared by curing and drying kratom leaves and grinding them into a powder. Kratom powder is simply the granulated leaf of the kratom plant. Kratom extract is the result of a water and\/or chemical extraction process that removes all impurities and leaves only a dense substance that is loaded with the active alkaloids of kratom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Absorption<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kratom powder needs to be ingested in some way. Either by making and drinking tea made with kratom powder<\/a>, swallowed in the form of a capsule, to be eaten and washed down with water or juice, kratom powder has to be absorbed by the natural bodily processes to make it into the bloodstream. Kratom extract can be taken in the same ways but it will make its way into your system much faster as the alkaloids are far more available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digestion<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kratom powder needs to be broken down from its vegetable forms to make the kratom alkaloids available to your system. In the case of kratom extract, these alkaloids are effectively free and will enter your system almost immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taste<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kratom powder has a vegetable, leafy, and bitter flavor. Most people find kratom reasonably palatable. Some find kratom too bitter and need to take kratom in the form of tea. Kratom extract is strong and pungent. In either case, you can take kratom with juice to cut the taste of kratom. Things like orange juice work best, and the acid in orange juice can help accelerate kratom\u2019s effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Kratom Powder\u00a0Serving Size<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/b><\/p>\n

Kratom affects everyone a little differently. Your physical make-up will determine how you react to kratom, and therefore serving size can be difficult. Some people are sensitive to kratom and will need only a small amount to get the desired effects. Others will need more. The serving size guidelines below are general, and you should simply take it slow with kratom if you are new to using kratom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
