If it is your first time using kratom, please START SLOW. Taking too much kratom can make you nauseous and tired. If you take too little, you simply won’t feel anything.

You want your first time taking kratom to be a good experience, so start off with a small amount. Taking too small of an amount and not having any effect is a lot better than taking too much and getting sick.

First, you’ll want to weigh out your dose of kratom.

It’s important to measure out your kratom in weight and not volume. Many things can affect the volume of kratom (how coarse the grind is, etc.).

I always use a small digital scale to accurately measure out my kratom.

This an easy, cheap way to always confirm the amount you are taking!

Use a digital scale to measure your kratom dose for the perfect amount every time!

Starting Amounts

Most of the time, try to take-in while your stomach is empty.

For beginners, I recommend that you take 3 grams if you are a male, and 2 grams if you are a female.

For users with a higher tolerance, the typical dose can range from 4 grams on the low end, to upwards of 6+ grams for a single dose.

Trying Kratom For The First Time

Once you take your kratom, wait 30-40 minutes, and evaluate how you feel.

If you feel the kratom working, don’t take any more! 

If you do take more, you will probably end up taking too much and messing up your experience.

If you don’t feel anything after 40 minutes, try another 1-3 grams at this point and wait another 30 minutes.

If you still don’t get the feeling you were looking for, take 3-4 hours off to let the kratom get out of your system and then try again with a slightly larger dose. No big deal.

There is a perfect dose for each strain and each person and it may take some trial and error to find it.

Keep a record in the phone of your dosing and how you felt, this can be a great way to remember the perfect dose each time.

Experiment with your dosage to find the ideal amount for you.

Once you get it figured out you should feel great every time! And you can try to buy high mit kratom (high mitragynine content within it) and utilize it. Since it contains high amount of mitragynine, which is an active ingredient, that makes it powerful Kratom to give you fast results.

“This kratom tastes horrible! How do I take it?”

How To Use Kratom

Toss and Wash – This is the method I use. You take a spoonful of kratom, put it your mouth, quickly swallow a big gulp of water/juice, swish it around and swallow.  It might take a few times to get the hang of it, but once you do you can easily swallow the kratom and might not even taste it.

Mix it with food/juice/water – The best drinks to mix (or toss and wash) kratom that I’ve found are grapefruit juice and orange juice. Sugar-free flavors like Crystal Light work well too. You simply mix the kratom in the drink and chug it. Mixing your kratom with Greek yogurt is another way to take it.

Tea – You can make tea by boiling the kratom and straining out the leftover plant material. I’ve never liked drinking it as it’s too bitter for my taste, but some people do prefer this method.

Capsules – You can encapsulate kratom in empty capsules. You can buy these fairly cheap online. Get the “000” size and you should be able to fit almost a gram in each capsule. You will still need to swallow a large number of capsules, but if you really can’t stand the taste this is the best way to go.

Citrus flavored drinks and Gatorade really work well and you probably won’t even taste the kratom. Try to use sugar-free options if they’re available.

The best way I’ve found to avoid the taste is to use the “Toss and Wash” method.

After some practice, it’s the quickest most convenient way to take kratom and get on with your day.
