Hey there Wellness squad! Today we're going to show you how to get an extra boost out of your Kratom experience and make it even more enjoyable than it already is. Behold! Kratom potentiators. You've probably heard about them from experienced or new users on how they're a great way to enhance the effects of Kratom and make your powder even more potent and last longer. In this blog post, we'll discuss what a Kratom potentiator is exactly, how they work, when you should opt to use them, and also give you a list of our five favorites. We'll also give you some great tips on which of the five you should choose depending on which particular Kratom strain you're using. So with all that said, let's get started and potentiate your Kratom journey!
What Is a Kratom Potentiator?
The definition of a potentiator is "any substance that increases or enhances the effects of another substance." That's the boring definition. A funner way to think about potentiators is as a secret weapon that will boost the potency of your Kratom. It'll amplify and enhance the effects of your Kratom powder by increasing its absorption into your bloodstream. That's why sometimes we also refer to Kratom potentiators as "Kratom boosters" or Kratom "enhancers".
Potentiators have different uses and benefits when it comes to improving your overall wellness and experience with Kratom, but here are the two most common:
-
Mixing potentiators with Kratom to enhance the effects and increase potency. For, example, some potentiators mixed with certain strains of Kratom will help you feel more focused, while some other potentiators have sedative properties that make them ideal if you're looking for a little relaxation with less stimulation.
-
Mixing potentiators with Kratom to help reduce nausea if you're taking too much Kratom at once or doing so on an empty stomach. This can sometimes be a common problem with new users who are still trying to find their sweet spot, and haven't yet figured out their preferred serving size. If you're new to Kratom and not sure how much to take, you can always check out the "Kratom Serving Size" section of our "NuKine Learning Center" page. If you already placed an order, you can find the suggested serving size right on the back of our NuKine Wellness packaging.
How Do Kratom Potentiators Work?
Kratom potentiators work by increasing the absorption of Kratom in your body, which makes you feel the effects faster and more intensely than if taking Kratom by itself. They also work by slowing down the metabolism of Kratom, allowing the alkaloids to remain in your body for a longer period of time. It's like giving your Kratom serving size an extra boost!
A potentiator will also help prevent tolerance from building up so that your body doesn't get used to having a certain amount in its system at any given time. This becomes important if you're used to taking a larger serving size. Just as a quick friendly reminder, we always suggest you avoid taking Kratom daily if possible and aim for a lower serving size. If you find yourself needing a higher serving size each time, we recommend taking a 3-4 day break, then going back to your original serving size. This will help ensure you don't build a tolerance.
When Should You Use a Kratom Potentiator?
Here's 5 reasons why you may want to use potentiators to increase the strength of your Kratom:
-
Get more out of less and save money
Obviously, taking less Kratom means you have to order less often, which translates to saving money. This is true, but also consider this. If you're someone who's using NuKine Wellness Kratom powder for stress or pain management and notice you're running low, taking a potentiator will allow you to take less powder until your next NuKine Wellness order arrives.
-
Reduce tolerance
If you notice you're starting to use Kratom regularly and would like to reduce your tolerance, potentiators are a perfect way to get back to your original serving size.
-
Enhance effects of Kratom
Using potentiators, will give you the ability to give your Kratom a boost and increase its effects and benefits.
-
Increase effect duration
If you're looking for your Kratom benefits to last a little longer, you can take potentiators to stretch out your Kratom effects. Certain potentiators will keep Kratom alkaloids in your body longer, which increases the amount of time before the effects wear off.
-
Make your Kratom taste better
If you're taking Kratom powder instead of Kratom capsules, mixing in potentiators can help take away the bitter taste and make your powder taste delicious. Another idea for those who don't like the taste of Kratom powder by itself is combining potentiators with edible gel films.
Best Kratom Potentiators?
If you do a little surfing on the web, you'll come across numerous different Kratom potentiators, but here are the five most popular:
-
Grapefruit Juice
One of the most popular Kratom potentiators is grapefruit juice. The citrus in grapefruit juice contains enzymes that break down Kratom's alkaloids, which makes them more bioavailable. This means the effects of your Kratom powder can last longer and be more potent. To give this potentiator a try, simply drink a glass of grapefruit juice 30-45 minutes prior to taking your Kratom.
-
Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice that's commonly used in Indian cuisine. It contains an active ingredient called curcumin, which is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. When turmeric is combined with Kratom, turmeric enhances Kratom's effects and make them last longer. To try this potentiator, you can simply take a turmeric supplement with your Kratom serving size.
-
Black Pepper
Black pepper is another spice that can enhance the effects of Kratom. It contains a compound called piperine, which can increase the bioavailability of Kratom alkaloids. To try this potentiator, simply take a black pepper supplement with your Kratom serving size.
-
Ginger
Ginger contains compounds that can enhance the absorption of Kratom alkaloids, making them more effective. Gingerols and shogaols in ginger work by increasing the activity of digestive enzymes and improving gut motility, which can improve the absorption of Kratom alkaloids in the bloodstream. By increasing the absorption of Kratom alkaloids, ginger can help to make the effects of Kratom stronger and more potent. Ginger can also help to reduce nausea and other digestive side effects that may occur when taking too much Kratom.
-
Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is a delicious popular herbal tea that's known for its calming effects. When combined with Kratom, chamomile tea can enhance Kratom's relaxing effects and make them last longer. To try this potentiator, simply brew a cup of chamomile tea and mix in your Kratom serving size. To learn how to brew the perfect Kratom Tea, check out our "What Is Kratom Tea?" article.
How to Choose the Best Kratom Potentiators?
There are a few things to consider when choosing a potentiator. First and foremost, you should make sure that your Kratom strain is compatible with the potentiator. This is important because different strains have different effects and therefore require different methods of potentiation. For example, many Kratom users say caffeine is a great potentiator and pairs best with a white or green strain. To learn more about the best white and green strains for energy, check out our "Best Kratom Strains for Energy, Motivation, and Working Out" article.
Final Thoughts on Kratom Potentiators
Some will say potentiators don't work for them, but many believe the truth is they do work, but only under certain conditions and when used correctly. When taken with Kratom, potentiators will increase its potency and make it more effective at pain management and will help increase energy levels even more.
If you decide to try out one of these potentiators yourself, we recommend choosing carefully based on what kind of results you want when taken with your Kratom. Whether that's increased energy or pain management, these potentiators will produce better results depending on what type of experience you're looking for.
