Most people I come across choose Kratom capsules for a variety of reasons. The most common reason being the bitter taste of Kratom in the powder form. It is a widely known truth that Kratom doesn’t taste like some tasty chocolate or something. Along with this, the powder occupies so much time when it comes to tea preparation or any other beverage in that case. This factor forced Kratom users to search for any other convenient options that could help them get over the bitter taste with ease.
Certain things are a bit easy when capsules are compared to the powder. But still, new users break their head to make a decision on the kind of capsules they need and how much should they take in for the desired results. So as a user, you might even think if these capsules could be the right one for you or you might have to search for an alternative way for Kratom ingestion. All your doubts will be cleared with this post that you could very well be sure if the capsules are the best way of Kratom consumption for you.
Making your own Kratom capsules
When you start being a Kratom user, it is obvious that you would end up scratching your head many numbers of times while you figure out the ingestion method that suits you the best. But if you have tried all the methods except the capsules, then the latter can be your savior. Let’s see how.
Which capsules to opt for?
The first thing that you should be aware is the two different types of Kratom capsules only by which you would be able to make a decision on opting for that capsule that could be right for you all the way.
Veggie Capsules
These capsules are prepared from a combination of hypromellose, cellulose, and water due to which it is vegetarian, gluten-free, Non-GMO and completely free from any types of chemicals or preservatives. They really don’t induce any chemical reactions on the user along with the capability of dissolving faster.
Gelatin Capsules
These are the most common capsules out there and they are cheap too due to the fact that they are produced from animal by-products. They also contain chemicals and hence might trigger any allergic reactions on the users. Hence, if you are someone who is particular about having only vegetarian capsules that don’t cause any allergic reactions, then these capsules might not be the one for you.
Though the veggie capsules are a bit pricey over the gelatin capsules, it is better than you go for it, due to the less risk associated with it.
Capsule Size
Once you have made your decision on the Kratom capsule type, the next step is all about the size of the capsule. But make sure that you choose a size that is easier for you to swallow based on the different sizes listed below.
- Size ‘000’ holds 1 gram of Kratom in each capsule.
- Size ‘00’ holds 0.735 grams of Kratom in each capsule.
- Size ‘0’ holds 0.5 grams of Kratom in each capsule.
- Size ‘1’ holds 0.4 grams of Kratom in each capsule.
- Size ‘2’ holds 0.3 grams of Kratom in each capsule
You can choose one of the sizes from here based on your skill to swallow it. However, it is recommended that you choose the size that holds the maximum amount much needed for your experience.
The things you need?
If you are very much concerned if this process is going to steal much time, well the answer is no. It isn’t tedious given the fact that you can’t digest the bitter taste of Kratom. In fact, it makes the whole process exciting by pulling yourself into an activity.
You will be needing:
- Kratom powder for your capsules
- The type of capsules you prefer the most.
- A capsule filling machine could get the job done for you in less time if this is how you are going to ingest Kratom for the years to come. Anyways, it is optional and up to you.
- A tamper that can be handy when it comes to packing Kratom capsules.
- A parchment paper which in turn helps you to collect the excess Kratom powder that has spilled down. You can also use a printer paper in case you don’t have the parchment paper.
- A measuring scale is essential since it could help you fill the capsules with accurate doses of Kratom powder.
Once you have these materials with you, it just gets as easy as possible. You will have to pack the capsule with a tamper and then seal it with the other half and there is nothing much to wait after that. All you have to do is gulp it down your throat with water or your favorite juice.
Disadvantages
Though I generally recommend capsules for Kratom consumption to most users, it is important that you also understand the pitfalls of Kratom capsules before you decide that the Capsules are the right ones for you. One of the main disadvantages is that it takes much of your time in preparing these capsules. If you are fine with it, then the next downfall comes in the form of slower reaction.
Yes, the capsules get digested first and then it takes time for the powder to get mixed up in the bloodstream. So indirectly, you can’t experience the effects of Kratom the sooner you expect. Also, you will have to wait for a long time to determine the right dosage, since the enzymes in the gastric region need time to digest Kratom.
Conclusion
The capsule mode of consumption is nothing new and is a traditional method by which medicines are consumed with ease. Most of the users feel that the capsule method is easy and also that it helps them to combat the bitter taste. So if you are someone who falls under this category, then without doubt capsules must be the right way of consumption for you.
