A (Very) Brief History on Kratom
About Kratom: Kratom is a tall evergreen tree in the coffee family indigenous to Southeast Asia. There the plant is traditionally grown and used by locals for hundreds of years for energy, endurance, and rest during a hard day of labor. It was also used as a traditional folk medicine for a variety of conditions.
Kratom was first brought to the west in the UK in 1907. Kratom was first brought to the United States in the 1970s during the Vietnam War, but it did not become well known or widely available until after 2010. Kratom has been instrumental in improving millions of lives since that time.
The plant shows tremendous potential for improving mental and physical health in today’s modern world.
What kinds of Kratom are there?
Contrary to popular belief, there are only three strains of kratom. In fact, there is really one and only one type of kratom, as the kratom leaves are always initially green, although it becomes three varieties with distinct properties depending on how it is dried & processed.
The Three Strains of Kratom:
- Green: Most versatile and best for mood
- White: Best for focus and stimulation
- Red: Best for relaxation and comfort
These are very broad and will vary from person to person. We offer additional details on our specific products.
Any color strain of kratom beyond these, such as yellow, is just a blend of the three strains. Additional names added to kratom is usually the name of a location (Bali, Jongkong, Vietnam, etc), which specifies where the plant was grown. As with any fruit, vegetable, or herb out there, the location where the plant is grown is of much lower importance compared to how it is grown, harvested, & processed.
Alkaloid levels [kratom (or looks like kratom) trees in ground, with soil --(alternative): picture of soil, ideally with trees (even if faded out) in the image as well] Kratom has at least 28 different kratom alkaloids. Kratom’s effects are attributed to its unique blend of these alkaloids.Mitragynine is the primary and best known alkaloid in kratom; however, the blend of other alkaloids play into the overall quality and effects of the kratom.
The organic growing conditions and alkaloid-rich soil content, along with the unique farming and harvesting methods of our local farmers, allow for Kaizen Kratom to provide an outstanding user experience.
How to Take Kratom
The first time you take kratom, start small, such as 1-2 capsules or 1 gram. After this, gradually increase and try different amounts and figure out what works best for you. You can take kratom once per day, or multiple times is fine. However, it’s usually recommended to avoid taking kratom constantly throughout the day, unless instructed by a doctor for a medical reason.
You can increase the benefits of kratom by taking sessions or days off. For example, if you take 1-2 days off any kratom each week, your body will reset its tolerance and better utilize it on the days you take it. If you do not take days off, even reducing number of times or amounts taken on certain days will improve your results.
Drink plenty of water alongside and shortly after taking kratom, as it is mineral-based and tends to clean out your body.
Consuming Kratom in Health and Moderation
It is important to note that kratom is a plant in the coffee family and can be addictive. When used naturally and moderately, it has tremendous health benefits; when used improperly or out of moderation, it has adverse effects. As with any ingredient, moderation/balance and proper use are essential.
Also, kratom is mineral-based, and one should consume plenty of water alongside kratom.
It is recommended to seek a physician’s advice before using the product if you are: pregnant, nursing, with a serious medical condition, or using medications. Kratom is not an FDA-approved substance, and is not used to treat, cure, or mitigate any disease, illness, ailment, or condition.
