Kratom Overview
Kratom is a natural herb made from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree, native to Southeast Asia. For centuries, people have used it for its unique ability to provide both energy and relaxation, depending on the strain and dosage.
The active compounds in kratom, especially mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, interact with the brain’s receptors to deliver a range of effects that can boost your overall well-being.
One of the great things about kratom is that it’s highly versatile. Whether you need more focus and energy or are looking for some calming relief, there's a kratom strain to match.
Here's a quick breakdown of the key benefits of different strains:
White Vein Kratom: Great for energy and focus, providing a clean boost without the jitteriness of caffeine.
Green Vein Kratom: Offers a balanced effect, giving a mix of mild energy and relaxation, ideal for both work and relaxation.
Red Vein Kratom: Known for its calming and pain-relieving properties, it's perfect for easing discomfort and promoting restful sleep.
Kratom can be a wonderful natural addition to your routine, helping you feel more balanced, focused, or relaxed based on what you’re looking for.
Kratom Add-Ons
Before we dive into the recipes, there are a few quick, simple ways to enhance your kratom beverages. Kratom potentiators are ingredients that increase the plant’s potency when combined with kratom, so they’re a great option for spicing up your dosage. Sweeteners can be important too, if you find the taste of kratom bitter or unpleasant.
Some common potentiators are:
Citrus juices
Chamomile tea
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Cayenne pepper
Turmeric
Caffeine
You can sweeten your kratom drinks with:
Honey
White or brown sugar
Agave
Maple Syrup
Stevia
Fruit juice
Potent Kratom Apple Cider
Perfect on a crisp fall night or any time the mood strikes, our Potent Kratom Apple Cider packs a tasty punch. When you combine kratom with an acidic component, like apple cider vinegar, the effects can be extended. However, you can skip the bitter vinegar taste and make your own apple cider – it’s definitely a more pleasant option that still offers all the benefits.
Ingredients:
10 apples of your choice, peeled and quartered
2 oranges, peeled and quartered
4 cinnamon sticks
1 tbsp clove
2-3 tsp nutmeg
½ tbsp allspice
½ cup sweetener of choice
3 apple cider vinegar
Your dose of kratom powder
