Different Forms of Kratom

Kratom is available in various forms and depending on the form the dosage can be decided.
• Raw Powder– Raw Kratom leaves are dried and powdered.
• CapsulesKratom Capsules are filled with kratom powder, extracts or fusions. Kratom tastes bitter and to avoid that feeling people prefer capsules. Capsules can be a gelatin or vegetable cellulose capsule. Capsules dissolve fast and are easily digestible.
• Resin / Extracts – Kratom Extract is made by boiling the leaves in water or alcohol or a citrus liquid into a concentrated paste.

The beginner is advised to start off with capsules because of the lesser side effects and cost effectiveness. It is advisable to take the powder mixed in a liquid, be it fruit juice, coffee or tea. Kratom extracts should only be used by the experienced because they are very strong. The gel capsule though expensive does not have the bitter taste of the powder.

Kratom Dosage: How much Kratom to take?

Now that we know the various forms in which Kratom is available and the possible benefits, it is important to decide the correct dosage to prevent any adverse effects. Depending on what you want to experience you can determine the dosage whether pain relief, or mental clarity or instant energy.

Kratom Powder Dosage: How much kratom powder to take?

It can be taken either as grams or can be measured in teaspoons.

It is paramount that the Kratom dosage is measured as accurately as possible to prevent any overdose and the risks involved with it. It is ideal to use an electronic weighing scale for the precise dose. In case your kitchen scale has a precision of 100 mg that too will do. Do not eyeball the dose because it can lead to overdose and side effects like nausea, vomiting, irritability and fatigue.

How Many Grams to take?
Just like taking anything new, till you get used to Kratom you might experience symptoms like nausea or a headache. Once the feelings settle down, you can determine the dose based on the strain of Kratom and the form which you find convenient.

Let us make a note of how many grams you need to take to achieve the following results:
Kratom Dosage for Energy and Focus: 3-6 gm. a day. Results vary from person to person. To improve the efficacy of the dose, mix it with grapefruit juice.

Kratom Dosage for Anxiety and Pain: 7-9 gm. will produce the desired results. It is prudent to start with smaller doses before venturing to take more because higher doses have the sedating effect which will make you sleepy.

Kratom Dosage for Opiate withdrawal: It is claimed that with a measured dosage which decreases in frequency one can wear of opiates completely with Kratom. To begin with, 7-9 gm. of powder should be taken at least 2-4 times a day for three days. On the fourth day reduce the dosage to 5-7 grams. On the fifth day further, reduce to 3-5 grams for each time till on the sixth day you end up using only 2 grams. On the 7th day stop taking Kratom powder all together.

How many Teaspoons to take?
You can also use a teaspoon to measure the Kratom dosage of powder in the absence of an electronic scale. A full, level teaspoon will contain roughly 4.5 grams of Kratom powder. This method may vary from product to product depending on the texture and the packing of the powder.

If you are a beginner go slow on the quantity. To start off for mood elevation and energizing needs take just 1 teaspoon of powder. For better results, you can take up to one and a half teaspoon a day. A safe bet would be not more than 9 grams of Kratom per day; using more is a deterrent in the long run.

Kratom Capsules Dosage: How many kratom capsules to take?

Since measuring the exact dose of powder is so crucial certain individuals prefer buying capsules to avoid this hassle.

Most capsules contain 500-666 mg of powder. There are also jumbo and extra-large capsules which contain up to 1000 mg of powder.

Do clarify with the vendor the size of the capsule so that you can decide the number of capsules you need per the required grams intake. Sometimes you might need to take 12 capsules, and at such times it is wise to buy extracts instead.

Whether you take Kratom in the powder form or capsule form always ensure that you are taking the correct doses because larger doses come with potential side effects which are harmful to health.

  1. I new. I’m a herion and meth user. I tried one table spoon and 1 teaspoon of red horn powder. I put it in toilet paper n chugged with chocolate milk. ( not all in one piece of paper it would have been huge..lol )
    I didn’t feel anything. It did not pull me out of withdraw. I want off this merrygoround.. how many tablespoon should a high tolerance person take. I tried capsules 500 mg white maeng da 7 or 8 capsules again..didnt work. Products bought from happy hippo. Can somebody please help me before I end up dead from herion?.., please!

    • Hi, I am just now reading this comment. I just want to give you some hope because I used to be addicted to about 300 mg of oxycodone a day and mixing it with uppers too. I ended up having to go to treatment/detox center to get off of the drugs. I haven’t touched an opiate since February of 2018. I started taking kratom once I got out of treatment even though it is highly frowned upon by treatment center I went to. While in withdrawals it not so much for getting a high off them, it is used to minimize the withdrawals. I have learned that there is NO way to completely get rid of opiate WD. You have to fight through it and have a positive person who loves you around you holding you accountable. But the kratom does work, that I promise. It’s tricky at first bc I would compare it to the opiates and it wouldn’t do much to me. I don’t want to type too much but if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

      Much Love

    • Hey, for my problems I have, it takes me about 16 capsules a day but in your case I would recommend a methadone clinic for you asap to start.

  2. For opiate withdrawal:
    00 Capsules
    2-3 Caps of Green Maenga Da along with 4-5 caps of Borneo Red Vein. This mix should be taken first thing in the morning. Effect should kick in within the hour and last strongly for another 2-3 hours. Eat. Drink at least one glass of water. Wait two hours. Then repeat process. Do this up to three times a day. After you’re clear of the opiate withdrawal begin to ween yourself off the kratom, much easier, but still tricky. Reduce process from thrice a day to twice twice a day. This is easy. Stretch intervals between morning and evening doses. Stretch processes until comfortable not needed dose first thing in the morning or last thing at night, taking now only once a day, sometime late morning. Eventually lower dosage of 6-8 pils to 3-4 pills etc, etc, etc. You’ll feel right as rain. Much love
