February 9, 2018 By Jason Perkins Leave a Comment

Are you in need of a great kratom quick start guide to help you start your kratom journey? You’ve probably checked out the forums for some answers but still, need more information. Well, this guide should give you the basics and a good overview of how to use kratom and what its effects are.

Kratom Quick Start Guide: Beginners’ Manual

1. What is Kratom?

Let’s start with the basics. Kratom is a leafy plant and is part of the coffee family. It originates from Southeast Asia; namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bali, and Thailand. It’s a safe, cheap, and legal plant you can use to treat pain, anxiety, or motivation issues.

Pros from Kratom-K have a wide selection of kratom products you can choose from either encapsulated or in powder form.

2. How Do You Take Kratom?

Contrary to what you might be thinking when reading forums, kratoms are not to be smoked. These leaves can be chewed directly, but most users prefer to have kratom crushed to a fine powder. The powder can then be ingested directly or mixed with beverages.

You may also add Kratom to your favorite desserts like yogurt. Simply mix a tablespoon of Red-Veined Maeng Da powder with your yogurt and you’ll have a guilt-free dessert that will help relieve your post-workout body pains.

3. The Different Types of Kratom

Speed can determine the types of kratom. The speed is determined based on the color and place of origin. Here are the different types:

  • Fast – These strains help improve your energy. They boost productivity, motivation, and even sociability.
  • Slow – This type of kratom is great for its calming, relaxing, and mind-boosting effects. This is best for relieving pain or anxiety.
  • Moderate – This type is in between the fast and slow strains.

Different strains can have different qualities and can help you be both productive and calm. You can get quality kratom strain from Kratom-K, the most trusted online seller of kratom in the U.S.

4. The Benefits of All Types

Kratom can help with depression and anxiety. It can also help improve one’s attitude and mood. Others use it to manage physical pain like a pain in the back or in the joints. It also lowers blood pressure and suppresses appetite, which is why some users like taking it in alongside their workout sessions.

The Green-Veined Malay strain can help with depression without the sedating effects that some strains have. You can get this strain in either capsule or powder form from our friends at Kratom-K.

As mentioned above, kratom isn’t meant to be smoked but to be swallowed. There are several ways of doing this. One way is the “Toss n’ Wash” wherein you scoop a spoonful of powder, put it in your mouth, and take a big gulp of water. Mix it in your mouth with a gargling motion before you swallow. It does take some getting used to, but it’s effective.

Our friends from Kratom-K offer a small wooden spoon which is a great material for scooping kratom dosage intake.

Another way is to mix kratom with water, juice, or protein powder. It doesn’t mix easily with liquid, so you’re going to have to stir thoroughly. Using juice or protein powder helps mask the leaves’ bitter taste. Others also prefer to make tea out of the powder by boiling it then straining off the liquid afterward. Some people, on the other hand, prefer kratom in capsule form.

6. Dosage

It’s amazing what #kratom does for your body, especially when taken in the right dosage. Here are just some of them: https://t.co/6i4Kw2UgT5

Unfortunately, kratom doesn’t come with an exact dosage, and the effect varies from person to person depending on the dosage. This means you’ll have to discover the dosage that suits you best through trial and error or perhaps, by seeking advice from a kratom expert or veteran user. Too little and you won’t feel anything; too much may feel like the opposite of what you’re expecting.

7. Other Valuable Tips

Just like coffee, kratom can be very dehydrating. Thus, it’s important to drink a lot of water and keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. If you’re a newbie and still finding the right dosage, keep a log of the days you took it and the dosage, so you can have a reference to help you figure out the dosage that will fit you perfectly. It’s also important for newbies to take kratom on an empty stomach as a full or partially full stomach will require a higher dosage of kratom.
