Kratom for Stress: Everything You Need to Know About Kratom Capsules Dosage

Kratom usage has exploded in the recent past. It has many medicinal benefits, chief among them stress relief. Kratom is a natural plant that contains mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and other 25 alkaloids, that combine to produce a wide variety of effects including stimulation, improved focus, and painkilling, and anxiety and stress relief.

Traditionally, kratom users in its native countries of Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar used to chew fresh kratom leaves after removing the fibrous central vein. However, the leaves would also be dried and crushed or powdered and used to make herbal tea or ingested as powder. In doing this, kratom users had to deal with a bitter after taste that lingers for quite some time.

To overcome the bitter after taste characteristic of kratom, many kratom manufacturers started packing kratom powder in capsules. When you ingest kratom in capsule form, you do not have to deal with the bitter taste. The capsule breaks down in your stomach and releases the content for absorption.

Aside from overcoming the bitter taste, there are other benefits of taking kratom in capsule form. Some of them include improved ease of consumption, ease of carrying (capsules are accessible and more portable), and most importantly, capsule increase the accuracy of dosing.

 

Determining The Right Kratom Capsule Dosage

Unfortunately, there is no one kratom capsules dosage fits all kratom users. Our bodies and body chemistry are fairly unique to every individual. As such, when you take kratom and the alkaloids are absorbed into the bloodstream, the alkaloids will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system differently from one person to another.

That said, if you are taking kratom capsule for anxiety and or stress management, you want to consume the right number of capsules to get these effects and not one of the many other effects you can potentially get by taking kratom.

The other consideration to have in mind when thinking about kratom capsule dosage is the specific strain you are taking. High-quality strains enable you to consume vastly less kratom while producing the desired effects.

Finally, you need to understand the capacity of the various capsule sizes to understand the intricacies of kratom dosing. For instance, capsule size 00 holds up to 0.735g of kratom powder. Capsule size 0 holds up to 0.5g. Capsule size 1 holds 0.4g. Capsule size 2 holds 0.3g of Kratom powder.

As such, when determining your kratom capsules dosage, taking into account the strain you are purchasing and the efficacy of the strain as well as the precise amount of kratom in the capsules. Thereafter, take the number of capsules needed to produce the desired effects.

For stress relief, as a beginner, you should stick to mild doses. Mild doses are up to 2 grams of kratom. Depending on the capsule size your kratom comes in, take the number of capsules that add to 2g or the amount that produces stress relief. At that level as a novice, kratom will relieve your stress.

However, if you have been using kratom for some time or after building some tolerance, you can move your kratom dosage up a level to moderate dosage of 3g to 5g. With a moderate dosage, kratom produces stress relief, relaxation, and sedation, effects that you want to experience when you are stressed. Keep in mind that the amount you take to experience stress relief will is very much unique to you.

 

The Lag Before You Experience Kratom Effects When You Take Capsules

One thing that people experience when they take kratom through capsule is a lag between the time they ingest the capsules and when they feel the effects of kratom. This lag can be explained by the capsules wherein the kratom powder is packed in. Mass-market capsules are usually manufactured using gelatine or cellulose. This protein or carbohydrates takes some time to dissolve in the stomach and, therefore, release the kratom to be absorbed into the body.

As such, you have to account for the capsule breakdown when ingesting kratom capsule for stress relief. If you need instant relief, capsules might offer the immediate effect that you are after. When you consume kratom capsules, be mindful not to overdose after you do not feel the effects immediately. Under normal circumstances, it should take a maximum of 5-minutes for the capsule to dissolve.

 

Using Kratom Capsule Effective

With the above in mind, you will appreciate that capsule add some delay to the absorption of Kratom. However, if you find taking kratom via capsules is be the best consumption method you but you still want fast kratom absorption, you can use pored capsules. Making minute pores on the walls of the capsules make it easy for the capsules to be dissolved.

The fast dissolution of the capsule means that the kratom is released much faster and you get to experience the effects much faster. Additionally, the pores allow some of kratom powder to leak out even before the capsule dissolves completely.

You can take your capsule with some citrus juices such as grapefruit, lemon, and orange juice. These juices, especially when freshly extracted are acidic and they aid your gastric juices in breaking down the capsule. Consequently, the contents of the capsules are released much faster, allowing for faster absorption and fast stress relief.

 

You should also note that having food in the stomach will affect the breakdown of the capsule and the absorption of kratom into your body. As such, if you are taking the capsule around mealtime, you should take your capsule at least 45-minutes before eating. Alternatively, you can wait for at least one and a half hours after eating to take your kratom capsules.

 

Safe Kratom Capsules Dosage

While taking kratom, you need to be mindful of your safety. Abuse of kratom can yield a number of undesired and sometimes dangerous side effects. These include nausea, stomach ache, and vomiting, berating problems, hallucinations, and much more.

To avoid these negative side effects, you should stay hydrated (you need more fluids in your body when taking kratom), use high-quality kratom, take your capsules on an empty stomach, and also keep a log. Keeping a log helps you to consistently use the right dose for stress relief.
