Did you know Kratom Tea is More Powerful?

The effects of mitragyna speciosa, or kratom, comes from the alkaloid content inside the leaves of the plant. Originating from Asia, kratom was traditionally consumed by chewing on the leaves plucked from kratom trees. However, nowadays there are several ways to enjoy the benefits of this herb. One of the strongest and most potent among them, is kratom tea.

This type of herbal tea can be made using whole leaves from the plant, or powder created by drying the leaves out and finely crushing them. When the leaves or powder are heated to boiling point, the pace of the alkaloids increase. Due to the heightened alkaloid pace, the body is able to absorb them at a faster rate into the bloodstream. Which, ultimately leads to a significantly more potent effect on the body and mind.
