It goes without saying that starting your day with Kratom will give you the boost you want! It can make you feel euphoric and alert enough to weather any storm.
But sometimes you might not experience it’s effects. It can happen to both newbies and veteran Kratom users. Either because they have become tolerant or have taken Kratom in a small amount.
But, why is it that it has suddenly stopped working for you? Or that the effects have lessened? So many questions with much simpler solutions!
5 Reasons why Kratom is not showing results:
If it is not working, you might not have unlocked Kratom’s full potential yet! People often make some rookie mistakes that make them give up on it easily.
Do not be disheartened! We are here to pinpoint those problems.
Here are some reasons why you are not experiencing the exhilarating Kratom-journey:
You are taking low doses
New users usually start their Kratom journey with a low dose. It is recommended and benefits them in the long run, as starting slow can go a long way. But sometimes newbies don’t see any Kratom effects from the get-go.
In fact, even long-term Kratom users can also develop tolerance to their daily dose. So they generally have to increase it.
Each of us has different biological processes at work. Small doses for several users might not work for you because of your inherent biological functions.
It is best to experiment with doses until you start feeling the desired effects. For example, if 1 gram doesn’t show effects, increment it gradually by 0.5 grams each day.
You are using a weak strain
It’s also because you might be using a poor strain that doesn’t complement your receptors.
Start out with green strains, as they are hybrids of red vein kratom and white-veined Kratom. It can also be possible that you have got your hands on a weak batch. You are bound to find weak strains if you purchase it from a run-down gas station!
We suggest starting out with Maeng Da strain, as they are especially popular because of their high potency.
Keep experimenting with different strains. Eventually, you will find that ‘best Kratom’ that you have been searching for all your life!
You have come across a poor quality Kratom
If you find Kratom at gas stations, don’t buy it. They usually have weak batches and gritty powders that are not up to the mark. The same goes with purchasing Kratom capsules from these gas stations.
By quality we mean your Kratom has some proof of its authenticity. That means it must have all the necessary credentials to verify its quality.
We suggest buying it online from an AKA GMP-certified vendor. An AKA GMP certification means that your Kratom is of the finest quality with zero chance of contamination.
Dig deeper and check out reviews of each vendor to see if they are worth the money.
You are taking Kratom on a full stomach
Taking Kratom on a full stomach can mess with your absorption in the digestive tract. It can also lead to side effects such as nausea.
Since your stomach is already full, Kratom may not release alkaloids—all for naught!
The majority of Kratom users prefer to take the powder or capsule on an empty stomach. It is because downing your Kratom on an empty stomach gives it the maximum chance of absorption.
Therefore, we advise you to take Kratom when your stomach is still growling! Chug it with your favorite beverage and see the results for yourself.
You are trying a Kratom Brand that is not up-to-the-mark
Some brands have weak effects. It depends on your body as to what type of strain and brand are suitable. And sticking to only one brand or strain can make you tolerant.
Always look for third-party lab testing evidence. There are high chances that your Kratom might have some shady substances just to increase its quantity.
We suggest shifting to a new brand. There are so many Kratom vendors out there that will give you the best result if you opt to experiment. Play a little trial and go with brands having positive customer reviews.
What to do to take Kratom’s full advantage?
Users who frequently take Kratom often start to become tolerant of the dose. Even first-time users might face some delays in experiencing its full effects.
But that shouldn’t discourage you from giving up on it! All it takes is some patience and experimenting before you hit that spot!
We suggest some methods that might help you experience the power of Kratom to its fullest!
Take Kratom with fatty foods
Some people add Kratom powder to their foods. And foods containing fats act as Potentiators. Taking fatty foods after 30 minutes of your Kratom dose can make a difference. It is because Kratom is lipophilic, and fat basically slows down your digestive tract. This allows for more absorption time for your Kratom.
Pairing fatty foods with a citrus drink can give you the desired effect. Mix your Kratom dose into your citrus drink and then eat some fat-containing food to get the best results.
Take full advantage of Kratom Potentiators
By now, you might already know what Potentiators are. These are substances that enhance the effects of Kratom. And one of the best Potentiators is citrus fruit. Fruits like lemon and grapefruit will increase the potency of your Kratom and give you immediate results. Other Potentiators are raw honey and coffee, which add a notch to your experience!
It is because citrus fruits tend to draw out the alkaloids from the Kratom powder. You can also try mixing the powder with Chamomile tea to get the desired effect.
Here is a list of some known Kratom potentiators:
· Apple cider vinegar
· Akuamma seed
· Magnesium (foods such as bananas and avocados)
· Cat’s claw
· Turmeric powder
Start out with some samples
It is a tedious task to find that perfect brand, especially when money is involved. And all your hard-earned money goes down the drain if the purchased Kratom does not give you any effects!
There are many online vendors out there who give away Kratom samples before you purchase it in large quantities.
We suggest shifting Kratom strains within a week or two to counter dependency on one Kratom brand. Therefore, these samples come in handy during your trial-and-error phase.
Go with the Red Bubble Method
Freezing Kratom causes the cell walls of the herb to break down. This breakdown will cause all the alkaloids to be released, making your Kratom potent. Users say that it’s a sure way to enhance your Kratom effects as the alkaloids are already broken down.
You will notice red bubbles forming above the ice once it starts freezing. Just mix equal parts Kratom powder and citrus juice together to form a batter. Boil the distilled water and let it cool slightly until it is warm. Pour in the Kratom and citrus mixture and gradually stir. You will see the color change to red if you pour in hot water. Freeze the mixture in your container and see red bubbles form—that’s when you know the alkaloids have broken.
Heat the mixture for use. Frequent reheating and refreezing will create a stronger effect.
Take some break and then start anew
As mentioned above, you might have developed a tolerance for your choice of Kratom brand. And even increasing the dose or switching to a different brand might not work in rare cases!
It is time that you take a break. A three-day or a week-long break will do you good. Make your body forget the effects of Kratom and give it a fresh start.
Once you know that your body needs that Kratom dose, try an entirely different brand.
Take every initial measure that is needed before you chug your Kratom beverage. For example, properly mix the powder in your choice of liquid to release alkaloids.
Final Thoughts
Kratom is famous for both its recreational and medicinal benefits. But users might not feel its full effects if they have developed a tolerance to it. Sometimes even new users complain of not feeling anything after taking it!
We suggest mixing your powder with Potentiators like coffee, citrus drinks, fatty foods, and magnesium. You can also try increasing the dose to hit that sweet spot.
Maybe the red bubble method can do wonders for you!
All these methods are surefire to bring you the best Kratom experience.Don’t give up just yet!
