Buying Kratom Powder vs Capsules

Once you’ve found the ideal place to buy kratom, you’ll more than likely have two options, kratom powder or capsules. Both are great and produce the same potent effects. However, there are a few minor differences.

Kratom powder is better if you’re trying to obtain kratom’s effects faster. It takes about 15 minutes to feel the effects produce by powder and 45 for capsules because your digestive system needs to break down the capsules before it can absorb the alkaloids responsible for kratom’s many amazing benefits.

If you value conveniency more than time, capsules are going to be better for you. There are no powdery messes or measurements required. All you need is water and and your capsules.

If you highly dislike kratom’s bitter taste, capsules are more ideal for you. You don’t have to worry about flavor when consuming capsules. Even if you make kratom tea with powder, you can still taste the intense bitter taste of kratom.
