Dosage and effects

The dosage should be adjusted to the desired effect. A general guideline for the effects of different dosages is:

• Low dose – 1 to 3 grams : Mild stimulating effects in the form of increased alertness and energy.
• Average dosage - 3 to 5 grams : By combining an energy boost, increased alertness, improved mood, and a relaxed feeling, this can provide a balance between stimulating and calming effects.
• High dosage - 5 to 8 to 10 grams : More calming and sedative effects with deeper relaxation and pain relief.

The dosages above are a general guideline. Individual reactions to kratom can vary. To experience the described effects, it may sometimes be necessary to take a slightly higher or perhaps a slightly lower dose.

Note: If you don't have much experience with kratom, it's recommended to start with a low dose of 2 to 3 grams. This is a safe way to test your sensitivity to kratom. The effect of this dose is often considered too mild. In that case, you can gradually increase the dosage with future use until you experience the desired effect.
