Kratom is a popular botanical herb that has many uses and comes in many different forms. Picked from the Mitragyna Speciosa tree, Kratom is sourced naturally from tropical regions in Southeast Asia and exported worldwide. It is most often sold in capsule or powder form, but can also be purchased as a herbal tea or kratom extract.
In this article, we shall focus on one of the most popular forms, the kratom capsule, including the pros and cons. Kratom capsules are extremely convenient and the dosage is already predetermined, which attributes to its popularity. Let’s take a closer look at this top-selling form of kratom.
Kratom Capsules 101
Although it has only recently gained attention globally, kratom has been in use for decades in Southeast Asia. It is only in the last decade that people have begun to appreciate the benefits derived from kratom. Effects may vary and are not infallible. Kratom should be used only as specified and solely at the discretion of the consumer. As such, you should only obtain kratom legally and via a trusted source.
Kratom capsules are extremely in demand by kratom enthusiasts as there are numerous trustworthy online kratom vendors that carry a selection of various strains. As stated earlier, kratom capsules are all the rage as they are sold in predetermined dosages that are easy to swallow in capsule form.
In addition, some find the taste of kratom to be somewhat unpleasant, as it is sour in nature. Kratom capsules help offset the experience. Most vendors offer kratom in gelatin, vegan or vegetarian capsules. Another advantage is that they do not have binding agents, as do tablets, so the dosage is 100% pure, naturally sourced kratom. Also, in capsule form, kratom is more quickly absorbed by the body, which means you will feel the effects more readily.
Kratom capsules are made with dried kratom leaves which have been grown into a powder, which is then encapsulated in different dosages before it is distributed to trusted kratom vendors. Each strain of kratom has a different potency, which is why prices may vary.
Kratom Capsules: Pros and Cons
Are you considering kratom capsules but still on the fence? Here are some pros and cons to help you decide.
Pros:
1. Most kratom users prefer capsules as they are discreet and convenient
One of the advantages of kratom in capsule form is that you can practice discretion. Unlike kratom powder, which has to be measured with each use, kratom capsules are able to be consumed discreetly. You can also carry them with you and take them on-the-go, whereas kratom powders or teas take time to prepare.
2. Kratom capsules encompass a predetermined dosage
Kratom has many different strains, which yield a variety of effects. Each of these differs per the strain of kratom as well as the amount of the dosage. Measuring kratom powder can be quite tricky. It is also imperative that you adhere to the proper amounts so as not to have any unpleasant effects.
In addition to being sold in a vast array of strains, kratom powder is also sold in doses of varying degrees. The pre-measured dosage will ensure that you are ingesting the desired amount of kratom in each capsule.
3. Kratom capsules deter the bitter aftertaste of kratom powders or teas
While some prefer to use kratom powder to brew homemade teas, for cooking and baking or as an additive to their favorite beverage, many shudder at the thought of the sour taste. Kratom capsules alleviate this worry as they are essentially tasteless. The coating makes them easy to swallow, yet you still benefit from the effects of the kratom powder, without the bitter aftertaste!
Cons:
1. Kratom capsules cost more than kratom powder
According to seasoned kratom users, the only con of kratom capsules is the cost. This is true with any item of convenience in today’s society.
Look at it this way, it takes a great deal of time and effort to specify, measure and package kratom capsules. Due to this, they tend to cost a bit more than kratom powder, which is often purchased in bulk.
To offset the cost, some prefer to buy kratom powder and make their own kratom capsules. However, this can be quite time consuming and some might find it tedious to measure out the proper dosage. Most agree that kratom capsules are well worth the slightly higher price tag.
Types of Kratom Capsules
Each strain of kratom promises to yield different effects. The strains are derived from the color of the kratom leaf (the vein) at the time at which the leaves are reaped. As well, the drying process has an effect on the strength of the kratom present in the leaves. This produces many strains of kratom.
Some of the most popular kratom strains include the following:
● Red Maeng Da Kratom
● Red Bali Kratom
● Red Indo Kratom
● Green Malay Kratom
● Green Indo Kratom
● Green Thai Kratom
● White Indo Kratom
● White Malay Kratom

● Gold Maeng Da Kratom

● And many, many more!
Where to Buy Kratom Capsules
Kratom is often sold locally in stores such as gas stations, smoke shops, vape shops, and other such novelty stores. Some local pubs and bars even sell various forms of kratom.

This will give you peace of mind that the kratom you are purchasing is free from any form of contamination, inducing heavy metals.
