Kratom leaves are composed of alkaloids — the compounds responsible for the medicinal properties of this herbal plant. When kratom is ingested, this may result in beneficial effects on one’s mind and body.

Kratom half-life refers to how long these alkaloids remain active in one’s system. Knowing the kratom half-life is vital as it can help you determine the correct dosage you will most benefit from. Additionally, you can avoid any complications that could happen from under or over dosage once you know the kratom’s half-life.

2. Main Kratom Alkaloids

There are two main kratom alkaloids: mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. Mitragynine has about 3.5 hours of half-life, while 7-hydroxymitragynine has about 2.5 hours. This means, on average, kratom remains active in one’s system between 5 and 7 hours. However, there are other supporting alkaloids affecting the overall kratom half-life.

Some of the supporting kratom alkaloids including corynanthidine, corynoxine, mitraphylline, mitraversin, speciogynin, and stipulatin can either have longer or shorter half-lives than the main kratom alkaloids. While users can feel some of these supporting alkaloids, other alkaloids are not at all apparent. Kratom’s subjective effects may last around 5 hours, but its anti-adrenergic effects could stay active for about 10 hours or more.
