How Often to Take Kratom
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.

If you do not take days off, even reducing number of times or amounts taken on certain days will improve your results.
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. Lack of hydration can result in side effects such as constipation, nausea, lightheadedness, lack of focus.
Generally, varying usage and even taking days off on a regular basis is a great way to get the highest value from the plant while mitigating its risks. Exact quantities and usage recommendations varies highly from person to person.
When first taking kratom, start small and gradually increase until you settle on an amount that works well for you, or an amount directed by a knowledgeable health professional. Drink/take kratom the same way you take coffee or supplements—with healthy moderation. It is highly advisable to immediately slow consumption if you find yourself developing a tolerance.
