HOW OFTEN CAN I TAKE KRATOM? YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO SAFE USAGE

As kratom is becoming a primary choice as a herbal supplement, it is important to keep in mind that kratom should be used responsibly and safely. In this blog, we dig deeper into what purposes kratom is well-suited for and how often you should be taking kratom.

How Often Can I Take Kratom? Factors to Consider When Determining the Frequency of Kratom Use

Personal Goals and Reasons for Using Kratom

Before you use kratom, it’s essential to think about how kratom can improve your life. Whether you are looking for morning motivation, afternoon focus, or night-time calm, the reasons for using kratom can guide your kratom frequency.

Many users take kratom as a replacement for their morning coffee. Others use kratom to relax in the evenings and have a good night’s sleep. Occasionally, you might want to use kratom for an extra boost in physical activities such as a hike or an inspired gym session.

Tolerance and Sensitivity to Kratom's Effects

Another factor to consider is your tolerance and sensitivity to kratom effects. If you are a first-time user or only take kratom occasionally, you probably have little to no tolerance so a smaller serving should suffice. If you are a daily kratom consumer, your tolerance is likely to be high. You may feel like the effects are not as strong as when you first took kratom, or you may find that you need to continuously increase your serving size. In these instances, taking a break is very beneficial, as it will reset your tolerance and you can take a much lower serving size for the same effects.

The effects of kratom can vary from person to person due to body type, weight, and physiology. On an empty stomach, the effects can be even more potent.You can take a serving every 6-12 hours, however, we advise to not exceed 2 servings per 24 hours. Too much frequent use especially at larger serving sizes may cause stomach aches and discomfort.

Kratom Strains and Strength

Due to the distinctive alkaloid profiles found in different kratom leaves, the effects may also differ slightly. As a result, it is important to determine serving sizes and frequency based on the Mitragynine percentage of the kratom powder. Generally, the higher the alkaloid percentage or density of the kratom powder, the less you need to consume. Here’s how to calculate the exact Mitragynine content in your serving size.

At Super Speciosa, we separate and grade our high-quality kratom based on batches and alkaloid profiles. After we batch our kratom powder, we send it to a third-party lab to be tested for 5 different alkaloids, as well as a full-panel microbial and heavy metals test to meet our quality standards.

Our Signature Reserve variety is the guaranteed highest in Mitragynine percentage. The Maeng Da’s are the next highest, followed by the milder Bali, Green Malay, and White Thai strains.

This ensures a consistent kratom experience for our customers and provides them with a better understanding of the product they are purchasing. To learn more, please read about the truth of kratom strains.

Health and Medical Considerations

Since kratom is not well-suited to be taken with other substances or medication, it’s extremely important to consult your healthcare provider for medical advice. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are also highly advised against any use of kratom.

While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved kratom for any use, kratom is legal on a federal level. The DEA does not regulate kratom, although they tried to ban it in the past, and failed due to kratom use advocacy and science-backed research on the safety of kratom.

Recommended Kratom Usage Guidelines

Super Speciosa’s recommended serving is 2.4 grams of kratom powder per serving. This is roughly equal to 1 teaspoon, 5 kratom capsules, or 8 kratom tablets. This is a moderate serving size for both beginners and experienced kratom users. Depending on whether you want stimulating or relaxing effects, the serving size can be lowered or increased.

Start with Less

Beginners and experienced kratom users alike should always start small, especially if you are trying out a new strain or product. Since certain users are seeking a modest amount of stimulation and energy, smaller serving sizes are optimal. Once the desired effects are achieved, there is no need to increase your serving size or consume kratom repeatedly. Larger servings have a relaxing effect and may not be beneficial for those seeking stimulating effects.

Listen to Your Body

Knowing how your body responds to kratom can be helpful in recognizing any potential warning signs. It is advisable to keep a record of your kratom intake to observe any variations or trends. By gaining a deeper understanding of how your body benefits from kratom and determining when a break may be needed, you can improve the timing of your kratom servings and prevent excessive use.

Avoiding Daily or Excessive Long-term Usage

Dependence on any supplement whether it’s coffee or kratom can be undesirable. To help avoid developing any kratom tolerance or dependence, take regular tolerance breaks. Some users also like to reduce their serving size also called tapering. Kratom withdrawal can feel similar to that of caffeine. Since it’s hard to stop anything once you develop everyday habits, it’s best to let your body naturally recover every once in a while.
