Kratom Guide
What is Kratom?
Mitragyna speciosa (commonly known as kratom) is a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) native to southeast Asia in the Indochina and Malaysia botanical regions. Mitragyna speciosa is indigenous to Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Papua New Guniea, where it has been used in traditional medicine since at least the 19th century.
ALKALOIDS
Now let’s look at the two naturally occurring alkaloids under review.
Mitragynine, which accounts for 66.2% of the total alkaloid content from the young leaves of M. speciosa, supports minor relief from aches and pains while acting as a stimulant similar to coffee in low doses.
7-hydroxymitragynine comprises roughly 2% of the total alkaloid content and is such a small amount that it is measured in micrograms. This tea leaf supports energy and focus and and can also have a calming effect.
