Everything You Need to Know About Kratom Capsules


(MENAFN- iCrowdNewsWire) It's hard to pinpoint exactly when Kratom first came to the US, but one thing's for sure; it's certainly here to stay. With the ever-increasing popularity of this herb, more and more Kratom vendors are coming into the limelight with novel consumption ideas, especially Kratom capsules.

Here's a quick guide on everything you will want to know about Kratom capsules ; how they are made, how they differ from Kratom pills, and if they're the best option for you!

 

What Are Kratom Capsules?

Kratom capsules take the form of gelatin shells containing the leaves of the plant in either crushed or powdered form. These are often consumed instead of Kratom tea or a direct serving of Kratom powder as many people find them to be highly convenient. Kratom capsules have emerged as the Kratom product of choice for many users because of their unadulterated dose and fast results.

 

How Are They Different from Pills?

Generally speaking, capsules are a form of pills, but it's better not to label them as such because the term“pill” is heavily associated with a bitter taste and being hard to swallow. Capsules are much different from pills in the following ways:

  • A capsule only acts as a shell for a pre-measured Kratom dose while pills house several different ingredients.
  • Since the capsule shell is enough to hold the dose together, there is no adulteration with any binding ingredients unlike with a pill. Thus, it preserves the original Kratom content.
  • The capsule shell is designed to break instantly upon consumption, making it possible to experience the full effects almost immediately.
  • The smooth exterior of the capsule shell makes it very easy to swallow.
  • There is no bitter taste associated with capsules as they're completely flavorless.
Should I Go for Kratom Capsules or Powder?

Kratom users have always enjoyed the herb in many different forms. Powders have been very popular in the wake of the Kratom popularity, with people using it to concoct Kratom teas and drinks. Some people even prefer even more traditional approaches like directly chewing on the leaves. However, that's all changed ever since more and more Kratom users began to know about capsules and the many benefits that they pack into their gel structure.

Kratom capsules have now emerged as the safest way to consume Kratom, especially for beginners who don't do so well when it comes to precise powder weight. Here are some of the reasons capsules have outshined the traditional powder form.

 

1. No More Bitter Taste

While many people have loved the herb, the taste has never been one of Kratom's strong suits. Kratom is known to have an earthy, herbal scent that many find overpowering and hard to manage. That's why turning it into a drink or a hot beverage or just gulping down the powder with some water has never been a pleasant experience for many. But Kratom capsules have changed all that — the gelatin shell makes sure that the user tastes or smells nothing, making it easy to swallow for people with a sensitive gag reflex.

2. No One Has to Know Your Business

Another great pro about Kratom capsules in comparison to powder is that the experience is entirely hassle-free and discreet. You don't need to take a plastic bag and a spoon out in public when you need to consume Kratom. There's no measuring involved or any fear of passers-by wondering what you're taking. You just take out a capsule with a pre-measured dose and pop it in; it's that easy and convenient.

3. Track Your Dosage

Although there is no universal dosing when it comes to Kratom, the recommended amount is around 2 to 4 g, no more than twice in 24 hours. Your capsule mentions how much Kratom powder it contains, so you're aware of how many you need to take.

 

Are Kratom Capsules Good for Me?

Whether you're a beginner Kratom user or an experienced one, capsules are always the preferred and recommended choice. Because of the many benefits discussed above, capsules make it very easy and convenient to take your daily dose even if you're on the go, busy with work, or too lazy to go and make yourself a cup of tea. A capsule can fit right into your hectic schedule. Plus, if you want to make sure you're getting the full spectrum of effects of the Kratom plant without any unnecessary additives, then capsules are the best choice.

However, with the many pros, come a few cons as well. Some people might be allergic to the capsule's inactive ingredients like gelatin or seaweed. Moreover, these capsules tend to be non-vegetarian as gelatin is primarily derived from animal matter, but you can also find gelatin alternative vegetarian capsules to use. Lastly, the cost of capsules tends to be higher than that of Kratom powder. So, if your pocket is a little thin, you might wish to lower your capsule consumption frequency or opt for the powder instead.

 

Kratom Capsule Dosing

Kratom capsules come in standard sizes and thus require no further measurement in case you want to pair them with your favorite meal or beverage. However, you should be aware of capsule sizing and Kratom dosage in general for your benefit in the long run. It's important to read the label on your product to make sure you're getting the right amount. All the capsule packs specify the mg of Kratom powder present in them.

In the case of simple powder, you want to stay under 5 grams at a time. However, when you're dealing with an extract powder — a considerably more potent form of Kratom — you want to cut it down according to its ratio. You'll typically notice labels like 15x, indicating that 15 grams of leaves were used to make 1 g of the extract. Generally, 0.33 g of 15x extract powder will deliver the same results as 5 g of regular Kratom leaf powder.

 

Conclusion

Although Kratom is now manufactured in tons of different consumption forms, capsules continue to reign supreme. This is the only form of consumption that's both safe and efficient for both inexperienced and experienced Kratom users alike.
