Organic Kratom Powder Vs Kratom Capsules Vs Kratom Extracts

The most common way to consume organic kratom these days include powder, capsules, and extracts. Which of these is the best? To be honest, there is really none. The better question to ask is, which of these is right for me? To answer that, we have prepared this detailed analysis of each type of kratom product in order to help you determine which one suits you best. 

Kratom Powder

Like most other herbal powder products, organic kratom powder is a product of grounding kratom leaves into fine, ingestible granules. Of the three methods (powder, capsules, and extracts) powder products seem the most ubiquitous; that is why they are more popular than the others. In fact, kratom capsules, as you will learn in the next section, are filled with kratom powder. 

There are two main ways of taking organic kratom powder. One is the ‘toss and wash’ while the other is the ‘mix and wash’ method. Both are named after the very acts that they describe. With the toss and wash method, the user scoops a small amount of kratom powder with a spoon and literally tosses it into their mouth. Afterward, they wash it down with drinking water.

If you would be using this method, it is advisable to toss only very small amounts of the powder at a time and to drink a lot of water. Since the powder is very dry, doing the contrary may cause you to choke and cough out some of the powder, plus the possibility of the powder sticking to the insides of your mouth. 

The alternative, which is far more comfortable, is to first mix the kratom powder in a bottle of water or a sports beverage. Then shake the mix thoroughly before drinking. With this method, you can even carry your liquid mix all around with you, taking sips as you go through your day. 

Kratom Capsules

Organic kratom capsules are essentially kratom powder; the only difference is that the powder is filled into the soft gelatin shells noticeable in normal medicinal capsules. Hence, you can consume kratom capsules just as you will take the usual drug capsules. Once the capsules reach your stomach, the acids in the stomach dissolve the gelatin shell, exposing its contents for quick absorption. 

The major advantage of kratom capsules is that they allow for easy dosing. Unlike kratom powder that doesn’t allow you to accurately tell the amount of kratom you are consuming, kratom capsules are precisely dosed. So, you can easily determine if you are to take one or two capsules each time. 

In addition, organic kratom capsules are very portable. As mentioned above, they look like normal drugs and unless you are explicit about the contents, no one really knows what you are taking. For all they care, you are just probably treating an ailment or taking a supplement. This smallness and discreteness form parts of the reasons people opt for kratom capsules. Not to mention that they are tasteless. For all its acclaimed benefits, kratom is not reputable for a very pleasant taste. Therefore, those who are put off by the taste of raw kratom powder can find their tasteless solace in kratom capsules. 

It goes without mentioning that people can make kratom capsules by themselves at home. To experiment with DIY kratom capsules, all you need are kratom powder and some gelatin shells. Simply fill the kratom powder, in tiny amounts, and very carefully, into the shells. Then store them away for future use. The effort may be laborious though. If you need many kratom shells, it is better to buy from a reputable kratom company. You can even buy bulk kratom capsule packages. 

Kratom Extracts

Most kratom extracts are the products of a secondary extraction process that leaves one with more concentrated powder, even though in smaller amounts. It is easy to confuse this kind of kratom extract with the normal powder. The process of making these kratom extracts results in naturally-enhanced kratom powder that can be up to 15 times as concentrated as normal kratom powder (which are merely ground leaves). 

To make these kratom extracts powder, kratom leaves (raw or ground) are boiled as though making tea. Afterward, the boiled mix is left to simmer so that the liquid evaporates, leaving just a thick dark paste. This dark paste is then dried and afterward ground into powder.

There is a different kind of kratom extracts though, which are liquid. They are similarly highly concentrated but processed differently. Basically, the idea is to extract raw liquid directly by crushing kratom leaves. Therefore, while very tiny amounts can be extracted at once, the result is a much highly concentrated kratom product.

Alternatively, manufacturers can use either alcohol, water, or resin, in the production of these liquid kratom extracts. For the first two methods, raw kratom leaves are dissolved into ethanol (a kind of alcohol) or water, or a mixture of both. Afterward, a little citric acid (not more than pH level 4) or freshly-squeezed lemon juice is added. The mixture is stored in a jar in a cool and dry environment for up to a week or the jar is repeatedly placed in hot water. The last step is the straining of the liquid and the evaporation of moisture. 

At the end of the day, the right method for you solely depends on your specific needs. In any case, kratom powder and kratom capsules are more readily available than kratom extracts.
