What Does Kratom Do?

By now, you’ve likely seen, heard of, or sampled kratom for yourself. From online to in-store, this botanical extract is sold all over, gaining major popularity in the world of natural wellness. Derived from the Mitragyna speciosa plant, native to Southeast Asia, this potent natural remedy has been used for hundreds of years as a traditional potential healing agent. Today, kratom extract is still favored for its positive effects and its versatility through product type variety, such as kratom infused gummies. But what does kratom do and why is it in such high demand? Read on for a complete guide on kratom’s effects, the way it interacts with the body and its overall wellness benefits.

How Does Kratom Work in the Body?

The activation of kratom’s effects is supported by naturally occurring compounds called alkaloids, such as mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine. These alkaloids bind to and communicate with key receptors in the brain and nervous system in order to start working their magic. Once the Kratom is taken and the body begins to process this naturally-derived ingredient, desired effects including potential discomfort relief, relaxation enhancement and an overall mood boost will take effect.

What Are the Benefits of Kratom?

Kratom can produce a variety of benefits which differ when taken at a lower dose versus a higher one. At lower doses, kratom may act as an energizer, offering an elevated mood effect, while higher doses are more closely associated with relaxation and potential physical relief from discomfort. Kratom users often report a wide range of both physical and mental benefits and while research is still developing to give a solid confirmation of these effects, early studies support and suggest that kratom may be able to:

• Provide a light burst of energy (at a lower dose)
• Boost mood and feelings of euphoria (at a lower dose)
• Promote a sense of relaxation and calmness (at a higher dose)
• Aid in sleep quality through the night (at a higher dose)
• Provide relief from physical discomfort

Because of the versatility of its effects and product types, kratom has become an increasingly popular natural wellness solution. Here at Mystic Labs™, we infuse mitragynine, or kratom extract into a variety of delicious gummy flavor options as well as an easy-to-take liquid shot. Each gummy contains 30mg of kratom extract while our single shots contain a whopping 150mg. These conveniently portioned and palatable product types allow for an even more enjoyable and consistent kratom experience.

What to Expect After Taking Kratom

The onset of kratom’s effects depend heavily on individual tolerance as well as the size of the dosage taken. Typically, the effects are felt anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour after ingestion and last for a range of 4-6 hours, but can vary depending on metabolism and body weight. For first timers, it is suggested to start with a dose of about half the size of the suggested amount to see how the body reacts. Once a comfortable dose is established, users may begin to slowly increase their desired dosage.

Is Kratom Legal?

The status of kratom’s legality varies from state to state. While it is federally legal, some states have enacted their own restrictions on kratom, so it is important to be up to date with your local regulations before purchasing kratom or kratom infused products.
