Has anyone heard of Kratom or tried it?

Doing a search with the word Kratom came up 0

Has anyone heard of KRATOM or better yet tried it?

I purchased a bottle of it about a year ago but after reading the words of people who do not believe in nonFDA approved medication it scared me.

Recently I watched a documentary about it that changed my mind.

There was only 24 pills so now I’m going to buy another bottle.

I think a bigger sample size is needed to know for sure about its effectiveness.

If anyone else has tried it I’d like to know

I buy it over the internet and they do testing for chemicals and other things. Before ordering you can look at all the lab results before ordering. Super Speciosa

Great question. I can only tell you my experience as a long term taker of it. At first, I started low... For the best effectiveness, I worked up to 5G, twice a day. Have not increased from that point. Nor have I decreased, because it helps and I had suffered far too long before I started Kratom. As I understand my dosage, I would call it medium high. The negativity comes from much higher doses than mine. 25 or more grams a day, are where people start having issues I think. I researched it extensively prior to even starting it. From the research I remember determining right away that I would not go over 18 G in a single day. And so far I have not approached that amount, and still experienced relief.

Hi Steven,

I also use it daily, but am always looking for ways to better improve the efficacy. Do you always use the same strain/vein? Or do you change periodically?

I too take kratom upon occasion - 3 or 4 grams, 2x/day, for days when I'm having breakthrough pain.

It is, IMHO the most effective thing for pain relief that I've tried, but I find myself jittery & constipated from it, so I only take it when absolutely needed, & usually follow-up with a Colace or 2.

I also know that I'm going to have difficulties going to bed at night if I've taken it during the day.

I personally use a powdered Red Vein Maeng-Da, & put it into size 00 caps - works out to just a smidge over a half gm. per capsule.
