In how many types can Kratom be consumed?

Kratom leaves are originally consumed as a chewing substance. But most cannot chew it because of its bitter taste. Thus, Kratom gets consumed in a variety of forms which include:

  1. Kratom Powder

The leaf itself is perishable, so it cannot be stored fresh for a considerable period of time. Thus they are dried properly and then crushed to make a very fine powder. So, the powder can be stored for a longer period of time and can be consumed by mixing it with coffee or juice to get rid of the bitter taste.

  1. Kratom Capsules

The Kratom capsules are an extension of the Kratom powder. The powder is the main ingredient of the capsule which is then given a proper outer coating. The outer coating is mostly gelatin or vegetable cellulose. The vegetable cellulose capsule is generally preferred as it does not use gelatin or any animal product. It contains only purified water and HPMC. Without preservatives, these capsules are absolutely natural. Generally one capsule of Kratom would contain 0.5 grams of the powdered Kratom leaf.

Utmost care is taken to make the capsules easily soluble in the stomach, but still the action of Kratom can be a bit delayed as the outer coating needs to be dissolved first, for the Kratom to reach the body.

  1. Kratom tea

This form of Kratom consumption has recently become very popular.
