kratom extract

Writing an article on Kratom extract could possibly be the most difficult article I've ever tried to write on ANY subject. With so many sources on the internet popping up like mushrooms almost daily, with every new site and product claiming to be the "strongest" or "most potent" extract available, it becomes nearly impossible to decipher fact from fiction. I hope to help change all of that.
There are many factors that must be taken into consideration when choosing a Kratom extract. Among other things, know that it's NOT just the Mitragyna alkaloid that is responsible for the desired effects of Kratom. Kratom is a complex plant as are the effects derived from it. Over 25 alkaloids have been isolated from Kratom, and to preserve the most pleasurable effects when making a Kratom extract, an extract that is, of not Full Spectrum, is not capturing the plant in its natural and most-potent form.
Next, the highest concentration of Kratom extract that can mathematically and physically be made, especially one that preserves the complete Full Spectrum alkaloid content and can be made into a resinous form, is about a 20X or 20:1 extraction ratio. Anything above that is either marketing hype, an inferior product that has only isolated a few of the key alkaloids, something that has been seriously adulterated, or simply an outright lie as to what the product is and/or contains.

Finally, know that no matter what we take into our bodies, there is a magical property called "maximum absorption rate", no matter what it is. A simple example is Vitamin-C. So many herbal supplement manufacturers tout "1000% of the RDA for Vitamin-C", but the reality is, most of that 1000% will be eliminated by urinating it out. Why? - Because there is only "so much" (thankfully) that these amazing machines known as our human bodies can absorb in a particular amount of time before whatever it is is broken down into something else, or simply digested and eliminated.
