Truth be told, there is no correct answer for how much kratom you should take on daily basis, the most accurate answer would be don’t overdo it. Kratom has different effects depending on the amount you take. You can use kratom to mitigate levels of anxiety, or to increase your energy levels, and you can also use it to help with opiate withdrawal or to induce a feeling of euphoria.

So, depending on what you are after, you will have to adjust your kratom intake. Additionally, the recommended intake is affected by individual factors, such as tolerance and the method of consumption.

How many grams you should take   

As long as you stick to a smaller dosage you won’t experience any significant effects. The threshold dose for any kind of experience is 2 grams or more. Meaning that you should take between 2 or 3 grams to see how it affects you and how your body reacts to it, this will help you ascertain what the lower and upper bar for your intake is. Bear in mind that a first time user might experience nausea or headache and might feel dizzy.

However, as you continue to use it, you’ll start to feel the abovementioned effects. When you are comfortable with the effects of kratom you can gradually increase the amount you take, but bear in mind that this will also depend on the strength of the powder you’ve purchased. There are powders that actually target the desired effects, for example Elephant Tusk – White Horn is great for an energy boost, increasing motivations, productivity and focus, whereas Lily Pad – Green Borneo can be used as pain relief or for sedating.  

According to user reviews you should use between 3 and 6 grams for boosting your energy levels and for increasing focus. You should use between 7 and 9 grams for relaxing and suppressing your anxiety disorder or social anxiety, but again it depends on your metabolism and the strength of the product.  

How to take Kratom

Now let’s see how kratom can be ingested. The first thing you need to do is either buy powder or make it yourself, by crushing the dry kratom leaves. Once you have transformed leaves into powder you can choose between several options:

• You can eat it raw off a teaspoon, just make sure you have calculated the correct dosage that you want to take. Makes sure you have a delicious drink as a follow up, though.
• Another way to take kratom is to simply mix it with orange or grapefruit juice and just drink it.
• Another good mix is when you blend kratom into some soft desserts like pudding or applesauce, for example.
• You can also use hot savory meals like soup or oatmeal, and then add kratom to them just to spice up the taste and to enjoy the desired effects.
• Lastly, you can load it into an empty vitamin capsule that you can purchase in any health food store.

It is important that kratom enters your bloodstream in order to experience its benefits. In other words smoking or snorting kratom is not recommended, since it doesn’t speed up the process in any way. Most of the kratom users agree that taking it with food or drinks orally is the best way to enjoy the benefits of this plant.

So, if you like the effects of kratom make sure you give it a try, but also make sure that you read user reviews before you buy a particular product. If you buy quality kratom, the mentioned side-effects like nausea, dizziness and headache are less likely to occur.
