The Science Behind Kratom

As you dive into the science behind kratom, it’s important to familiarize yourself with alkaloids. An alkaloid is an organic compound that occurs naturally in plants and produces physiological effects on human beings or other animals. Kratom alkaloids are fascinating because they interact with receptors in the human body, similar to anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs like ibuprofen, fentanyl, Tramadol, anesthesia drugs, and oxycodone.

Recent research continues to suggest that kratom alkaloids bind with opioid receptors in the human body. This is one of the biggest reasons people all over the world, including here in the United States, have become interested in kratom. As scientific researchers and medical professionals continue to study this plant, many people are excited by the potential effects of kratom, especially because it is a natural product.

Kratom Strains and Other Products

As you continue your research into the various kratom products, you will find that the strains are categorized by color. Red vein kratom is generally the most popular type, but many customers find that they like to purchase different strains to see which appeals to them most. In addition to the different strains of kratom leaf and the powders that come from them, many people are interested in other products like kratom extracts.

There are multiple different types of extracts, sometimes referred to as kratom tinctures. You may find them as a liquid or in kratom capsules. No matter which type of kratom extracts you purchase, they are likely to contain much higher alkaloid levels than other kratom products like traditional powder or leaves. This is part of the reason kratom extracts like OPMS kratom have become so popular.

Kratom Effects and Preparation

The experience of preparing and appreciating kratom will depend on the type of kratom product you buy. For example, kratom powder capsules are easy to appreciate because they are already portioned out while measuring out your own kratom powder enables more precision. Other kratom products like extracts may come as liquids in convenient little bottles. 

If you’re unsure about what to do, please don’t hesitate to reach out to someone with more experience with that particular product. The community loves to share what they know about kratom products!
