Here’s the thing about herbal supplements: because they’re all-natural, they’re going to have different effects on different people depending on their different circumstances. With Kratom, however, the effects are generally consistent across most people. In fact, most reputable Kratom vendors online will help you find the right dosage so that you can get the most out of your Kratom experience.
Because of this consistency, general dosage guides will be close in accuracy to each other. However, you need to understand that individual dosages are reliant on two things: the form of the Kratom you’re taking, and your personal tolerance. This is why it can be intimidating for people who are taking kratom for the first time.
Here’s the thing: the doses they put in every form of Kratom is pretty consistent, but individual tolerances are not. That being said, the weakest doses are almost-always a good place to start. For people with low tolerances, the weakest dose will provide them with a great experience, while those with higher tolerances can still get some benefit while giving them a preview of what to expect with higher dosages.
So for this guide, we’ll focus on the dosages of Kratom’s individual forms to give you an idea of what to expect when buying that kind of Kratom
Kratom Capsules General Dosage
When you look up ‘kratom best dosage’ online, you’ll most likely get this guide:
- Mild: .5 grams
- Moderate: .75 grams
- High: 1 gram
This isn’t exactly wrong, but this actually is derived from the amount of Kratom powder inside capsules and not a dosage guide. Most reputable Kratom vendors online will be using the same capsules that pharmaceutical companies use. In this case, they’ll be using three sizes that contain three different amounts of powder:
- #000 = 1 gram
- #00 = .735 mg
- #0 = .5 mg
Many experienced Kratom users, and many Kratom vendors as well, will often use the #0 capsule because it is the one that contains the least amount of Kratom, thus making it the safest. With this in mind, a general dosage guide for Kratom capsules would be:
- Mild Dosage: 5-7 capsules
- Moderate Dosage: 8–11 capsules
- Strong Dosage: 12-16 capsules
This is the preferred method of ingestion by many experienced Kratom users for three reasons: it’s convenient, they’re already measured out, and best of all, it has no flavor!
Kratom Powder General Dosage
If you fancy yourself a DIY kind of person, you can also buy Kratom in powder form and venture out on your own. In this form, your Kratom should be measured in grams. This method involves weighing out the dosage amounts of the capsule form onto a digital scale, which should give you the following results:
- Mild Dosage: 1 to 2 grams
- Moderate Dosage: 2 to 4.5 grams
- High Dosage: 4.5 to 8 grams
Or, if you prefer to use teaspoons as a measurement:
- Mild Dosage: 0.5 to 0.9 tsp
- Moderate Dosage: 1 to 2 tsp
- High Dosage: 2 to 3.5 tsp
Kratom powder is the preferred product of many experienced Kratom users because it allows them to use Kratom in a variety of ways, from teas and smoothies to candies, pastas, stews, and even bread!
Kratom Extract General Dosage
The most potent form of Kratom, Kratom extracts contain the most concentrated amount of alkaloids and should not be treated lightly. In general, there are three main types of Kratom extracts in the market:
- Powder
- Tinctures/Liquid
- Resin
Take note that Kratom Extract Powder is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from regular Kratom Powder. They are consumed roughly in the same manner, except that Kratom EXTRACT POWDER needs to be taken at MUCH lower dosages.
These extracts are so potent that absolutely precise measuring is required, especially if you have a low tolerance or if it’s your first time taking Kratom. In general, it’s best to rely on reputable Kratom vendors to provide you the extracts and to help you find the right dosage.
In general, many experienced Kratom users will provide the following dosage guide for Kratom extract, which is usually translated in terms of Kratom raw powder:
- 1 gram of 5x kratom extract = 5 grams of raw powder
- 1 gram of 10x kratom extract = 10 grams of raw powder
- 1 gram of 15x kratom extract = 15 grams of raw powder
If you are using a Kratom extract for the first time, PLEASE be very cautious and make sure you are with experienced Kratom users!
