What is the difference between leaf powder and extracts?
About extracts.

We derive our extracts from leaf powder. The potency of alkaloid extract is extremely high, when compared to powdered leaf. Every 33 mg of our extract is equivalent to about 2 grams of high quality kratom leaf.

The products come in easy to measure tincture bottles, pure alkaloid powder, extract enhanced leaf, and also capsules of varying strengths.

Why extracts?
Extracts have a stable shelf life and stay potent for a long time. Users can be assured that their products will not mold or expire.

Generally, M. Speciosa alkaloid levels can be unpredictable, making it hard to know for sure what you’re getting, however, our extract ensures a consistent and measurable outcome.

Red vs green? How do I know which is right for me?

Colors can be misleading. When the leaves are harvested, they undergo a drying process before being shipped out. Green and Red leaves differ according to the methods and the curing process.

Imagine the leaves of a tree. Fresh leaves are green, but when they fall off of the tree, they start to become more brownish as they sit on the ground.

Oxidation is the cause of this color change. M. Speciosa tree leaves are loaded with different alkaloids that have varying properties. When leaves oxidize, the alkaloids can as well, potentially altering their effects.

Green leaf is renowned for its energy enhancing properties, and Red Leaf is associated with pain relief. Typically, M. Speciosa in small doses may cause stimulation and larger doses may cause sedation and more pain relief. Lastly, differing effects in Red leaf may be associated with change in alkaloid content.

Are these products completely natural?
Absolutely! We don’t use adulterated substances in any of our products and that is 100% a guarantee!
What’s the best way to measure alkaloid powder?
Use a milligram scale when utilizing our loose alkaloid powders. This method is effective, but always be careful when handling alkaloids. They are extremely potent.
