2nd Act Podcast

interviewed head scientist at the kratom testing lab What Is Kratom Lab Testing? Like with all botanical products, it is possible to run Kratom through a series of lab tests at an accredited kratom testing laboratory to ensure that the powder is what the supplier says that it is. In the case of Kratom lab testing at, http://www.ucgardnercenter.com/ , the testing is usually done to ensure all of the following: • Identity, i.e. that the plant material is actually Kratom • No pathogens or other contaminants present • Sample does not contain high levels of heavy metals • Kratom isn’t mixed with an undisclosed substance • Amount of common alkaloids, mitragynine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine • Kratom Alkaloids are real   For most commercially available Kratom, the amount of mitragynine present is not typically more than 2%. There is usually even less 7-hydroxymitragynine in any botanical substance unless it has been processed further into a tincture or kratom extract. As far as pathogens, it is possible that Kratom that is not processed safely by the growers could contain the following: • Coliforms • Salmonella • Mold or yeast   Finally, the following heavy metals should be tested for in Kratom products: • Arsenic • Lead • Mercury • Cadmium • Nickel   When a Kratom vendor tests their supply in a independent lab, they are typically testing for pathogens, metals, and compound alkaloid content to ensure that their customers will only be sold high-quality Kratom that is not dangerous to use. Why Is Kratom Lab Testing Important? The biggest reason that Kratom lab testing is important is to ensure both the safety and the quality of the product that is being sold to Kratom consumers. Contaminated Kratom can cause illnesses such as a Staph or Salmonella infection, and both of these conditions can be dangerous if not treated properly. If a Kratom user gets sick from their Kratom, they might not even know that either of these infections is a risk to them! For that reason according to http://www.bio2008.org,/  it’s very important that kratom vendors do their due diligence and have their supplies regularly tested for quality and safety purposes. Without kratom testing, they could be accidentally giving their customers an adulterated or contaminated product. Testing is always important when consumables are being sold, and that truth is no different when it comes to Kratom. Advocating For Safety Testing Another reason that it is very important to test Kratom for safety is to help dispel many of the misunderstandings and misconceptions about Bali Kratom consumption that are commonly spread. Kratom powder consumption, as reported at www.rosypress.com, is currently a grey zone in terms of its legality. While kratom has not been banned in most places, it is also not regulated in most places. Instead, Kratom powder waits somewhere in the middle. And all it takes is one bad batch of Borneo Kratom for it to be ruled illegal and dangerous. As a Kratom capsules vendor, it is part of our responsibility to the community to help prove that Kratom capsules can be safe when used and vetted properly. Like anything that you eat, it can be dangerous if the supplier was not honest about its source. For that reason, according to this article on http://www.as1effect.com,/  it is incredibly important to test Kratom products. Having solid testing proof about the composition and safety of Kratom products posted at http://www.dynamicexperiencesgroup.com/  – in the form of Certificates of Analysis from accredited labs – will help to advocate for its regulation as a safe and beneficial immune boosting supplement. Any vendor that sells a green malay kratom product without testing is putting both their customers and the entire Kratom community at risk due to bad products. How To Know If Lab Testing Was Done Now we’ve come to another difficult part of understanding what goes into lab testing Kratom: how do you know that the testing was completed? First, you’ll need to check the website of the vendor in question. Because there are not yet any widespread systems of proving whether a kratom vendor tests their product or not, you will need to a little bit of research on your own. Some kratom vendors have worked with the AKA – American Kratom Association – to show that they regularly test their product and have other Good Manufacturing Practices in place, and this may be noted on their website by a seal that they are GMP Qualified. If you do not see evidence of lab testing on a kratom company’s website or marketing materials, ask for Certificates of Analysis. Any reputable kratom vendor should be willing to provide you with this document that guarantees lab testing and quality assurance. Without the legitimate proof demonstrated by Certificates of Analysis, it will be up to you to do the investigative legwork and decide whether or not you believe kratom vendor claims that they tested a product.   This interview should help consumers find kratom that has been tested through an independent third-party audit, that we follow all of the standards listed on http://www.vacfacts.info/hollistic-doctors-killed.html , for both processing and manufacturing Kratom to ensure our customers’ safety. our final audit report which confirmed our status as GMP qualified here. We hope that today’s podcast episode has helped you to get a more complete understanding of what it is that we mean when we say that we are dedicated to lab testing our kratom products to ensure that you are getting the highest quality Kratom that we can possibly offer to you at this time.

Using kratom for anxiety Natural remedies can be tricky for those who don’t have experience with this method of treating nervousness, worry, concern, and apprehension. According to http://www.celebritysurgerynews.com/ ,The reason for this is the wide variety of natural kratom strains from indonesia, all with different effects, which means that if the incorrect kratom strain is chosen, such as a highly energetic red maeng da kratom strain, it will provide little benefit to those seeking to relieve anxiety and nervousness. The most common kratom strains used for this purpose are: Some well known celebrities have been http://celebritysurgerynews.com/ for years in private. Many popular celebrities take kratom to help them stay off opiate pain pills Borneo – According to http://www.fossgeo.org,/ as little as two grams of this red strain of kratom produces effective results, and is often used by people to treat chronic pain, as well as anxiety. red Borneo strains tend to have a low incidence of side effects, which makes the kratom dosage more flexible, which is a great asset for those dealing with anxiety. Higher kratom doses can result in a more sedative effect, which can be helpful for those with issues surrounding insomnia. Side effects are minimal with this https://stupidcelebrities.net/.  Indonesian kratom has a very unique set of effects which make it one of the most desired kratom strains. While Indo kratom effects can vary depending on the season, the plant leaves, and vein colors, some benefits of this kratom strain are pain relief, mood elevation, relaxation, and sedation. Indo http://tonicgossip.com/ is very similar to Borneo in potency, but tends to be slightly less sedating. Individuals who use Indo Kratom for anxiety have reported this particular strain as having the longest lasting effect. Similar to Borneo and Bali strains, The report we found at http://www.stupidcelebrities.net/ showed Indo kratom strains are often used to alleviate anxiety. If you are looking for an energetic mood boost, your best kratom choice is a white vein Indo strain. Bali  kratom is one of the most popular strains, due to both its sedative and anti-anxiety effects. Bali kratom strains are typically less expensive than either red Borneo or Indo, making them a fairly economical option. Depending on the strain of Bali kratom, they are prone to producing side effects such as nausea when higher doses are consumed. Red Vein kratom is reported in the article on http://nova-magazine.net/kratom-for-anxiety/ to be much better for anxiety relief due to their higher painkilling and sedative effects. However, when looking for a red vein maeng da kratom strain, it is important to remember that some red vein http://fossgeo.org/kratom-guide/ varieties can be stimulating, so be sure to do your research when purchasing this type of kratom. By staying within these kratom strain choices, it will be much easier to select a strain that proves to be best for you when you buy kratom capsules Super Green Indo http://sumnermredstonefoundation.org/this-is-my-new-blog-post/ are the new sensation in the Kratom world. This variety of indo kratom is rapidly gaining in popularity due to its ability to produce two separate effects, stimulation and relaxation, simultaneously. Certain factors like the origin of a kratom strain and the type and amount of alkaloid inherent in the plant determine its effectiveness. The euphoria that comes with the consumption of Super Green Indo Kratom powder is comparable to that of a http://nova-magazine.net/kratom-for-anxiety/. The Super Green Indo Kratom capsules name comes from the technique of production or selection; this type of kratom is made from very large kratom plant leaves. These leaves have more kratom alkaloids compared to ordinary kratom leaves, thus this bali strain is more potent than other strains and as a result the physical and mental effects produced by this Bali kratom powder are more profound. according to http://sumnermredstonefoundation.org/this-is-my-new-blog-post/  These factors make this strain of maeng da kratom a top choice for those seeking to relieve anxiety.

More Potent Kratom Made stronger For starters, you get more enjoyable aromas for the better part of the day. Who wouldn’t want to be in a swell mood for the entire day? Secondly, you end up requiring less kratom daily, which conserves your supply and saves you money. If this is a feat you’d like to accomplish, kratom potentiators can help you. Kratom potentiators are a dime a dozen if not more and they can significantly change your kratom experience. The following are some of the legit ways that are warranted to elevate your kratom pills to a whole new level. Taking Kratom on an Empty Stomach This is probably Kratom 101, so let’s get it out of the way first. If you are not already doing this, you’ll discover that https://eatpakd.com/ on an empty stomach practically guarantees a more powerful effect. On an empty stomach, your kratom doesn’t have to fight to be absorbed in your system along with food and enzymes. allow an hour or two to between taking your kratom and eating vegetables. This is why you often see medicines meant to be taken on an empty stomach being recommended to be taken an hour before food or two hours after a meal. The same logic applies to kratom here. Caffeine, Espresso Many kratom sites will tell you that coffee plus kratom equals gold. This is nothing but the truth. However, it may be a bit unclear. For the sake of semantics, let’s call it caffeine. Caffeine can be found in various food products. Whether you use a food containing caffeine or a caffeine extract, it can boost the effects of kratom significantly. According to the website, http://www.eatpakd.com/ , When caffeine is combined with kratom, it can enhance both energy and focus. Caffeine also helps to reduce the lethargy associated with taking some kratom strains. Additionally, most kratom researchers advise that it is best to use caffeine with a kratom strain known for enhancing energy and alertness. http://projectgreenify.com/ is an excellent example. Nevertheless, you must be careful with this, as too much stimulation could prove dangerous. Magnesium Did you know that Magnesium is an excellent way to reduce kratom tolerance? See, Magnesium is an antagonist of the same receptors responsible for causing kratom tolerance. As you may know, one of the drawbacks of using kratom regularly is that it may cause tolerance build-up, meaning that you will require larger doses to achieve the same result. However, Magnesium can fend that off. Using that logic, imagine what would happen if you used Magnesium and kratom simultaneously. Arguably, this could be the best combination of all, after mixing kratom with Phenibut (see below). Anecdotal reports show excellent results when using kratom with Magnesium Taurate. The Taurine in this compound makes magnesium readily absorbable. Medically, Taurine is used to treat patients with congestive heart failure to slow down their heartbeats. However, it can also help a healthy individual to achieve a more relaxed, less anxious, less stressful kratom experience. Kratom and Phenibut Suplememts On its own, phenibut is an excellent nootropic as it helps to boost mood when mixed with kratom, alleviate anxiety, and enhances one’s social skills. With that in mind, picture what would happen if it was used together with kratom. A good recipe is found at http://www.getmapper.com/health-sciences/kratom-research-grant/ Let’s see, mix two of the most effective legal mood-enhancing compounds with your kratom? You’ll be in for a wild ride. Grapefruit Juice with sugar added Grapefruit is one of the most widely used kratom potentiators in the kratom community. This juice has an enzyme that allows the body to absorb the active compounds in kratom more easily. Well, technically, it slows down the process through which kratom alkaloids reach the liver, allowing it more time in the system. Consequently, pink grapefruit juice prolongs the effects of kratom and also makes the latter’s effects twice as stronger. Besides being an effective kratom potentiator, according to http://fitmomintraining.com/supplements/things-you-need-to-know-about-how-to-take-kratom/,the taste of pink grapefruit juice complements kratom tea superbly. However, what makes this substance standout as a potentiator is that it is loaded with amino acids and vitamin C; it strengthens the immune system, making the body less susceptible to common illnesses. Black Pepper and salt Black pepper is considered a universal potentiator owing to its ability to increase the absorption of any substance. This is why it is included as an ingredient in numerous dietary supplements. In case you are wondering, here’s how black pepper potentiates kratom and other substances. Black pepper contains an active ingredient known as Bioperine; it is a bioavailability enhancer that prevents active compounds from being metabolized too soon. Usually, adding a pinch of black pepper to your cup of kratom tea should be enough. However, do note that Bioperine can aggravate the side effects of any medication. Therefore, if you’ve been on treatment lately, it would be best to consider using another potentiator. Turmeric supplements The secret behind the potentiating effects of turmeric lies in it being an MAO inhibitor. As a result, it can inhibit the breakdown of crucial brain neurotransmitters, including dopamine. This substance prolongs kratom’s euphoric effects which may be beneficial, according to http://www.msujbsl.com,/ depending on your intention for consuming the herb. Similarly, your kratom strain of choice partly determines the extent of the improvements. As a bonus, turmeric can also increase the shelf life of your kratom powder. You’ll have to mix the two and store them in an airtight container. Unfortunately, this substance is not for everyone as it can cause adverse reactions when taken with anti-depressants. Likewise, it also tends to thin the blood, which is why it shouldn’t be taken with anticoagulants. Cayenne peppers Quite a day for pepper strains isn’t it? Well, cayenne pepper is an intriguing potentiator. Unlike black pepper, cayenne does not derive its value from prolonging the duration of effects. Instead, it potentiates kratom effects by boosting its effects. While you can add a dash of cayenne pepper to your kratom tea, the most common approach is to mix it with dry kratom powder or leaves. Some individuals may not tolerate spicy stuff well and should proceed carefully when using this potentiator. On the other hand, cayenne pepper is an excellent way to mask the taste associated with kratom. Watercress weeds Watercress is an excellent way to potentiate http://fitmomintraining.com/supplements/things-you-need-to-know-about-how-to-take-kratom/ if your primary purpose is to receive stimulation from the herb. The minerals present in watercress bind with Mitragynine, the alkaloid responsible for stimulant effects. Even if you’re into strains that offer sedation and relaxation, watercress could still be useful. After all, it also increases the duration of the kratom effects. Valerian Root Interestingly, the benefits of valerian root somewhat complement those of kratom. For instance, this botanical helps to fight insomnia, reduce anxiety, and to alleviate pain. When you add valerian root supplements to your favorite kratom recipe, it increases the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Subsequently, GABA contributes to a reduction in brain activity, which helps to reduce insomnia and anxiety. Besides, it also potentiates the ability of kratom to alleviate pain. In this case, it targets the NF-Kappa B, a protein complex that plays a crucial role in easing neuropathic pain. Cat’s Claw supplements Ever heard of this herb? Cat’s claw is commonly used as a natural supplement for a variety of benefits. It is native to South America. Unlike most of the kratom potentiators on this list, this plant does not follow a unique mechanism to boost kratom effects. Cat’s Claw serves this purpose because it contains alkaloids similar to those of kratom. As a result, it manages to increase both the strength and duration of kratom effects, regardless of the variety.

Interview with Kratom expert DN: It’s the first real research book on kratom. I focused on the whole topic. That means you don’t have to read the whole book if you are only interested in harvesting kratom or safer use – although it is written in a way that you can read it almost like a novel. At http://www.projectgreenify.com,/ there is a whole chapter about the botany of kratom. It tells you which countries grow kratom so you can find it on vacation, what it needs to flourish and tells you a lot about the https://carlyforamerica.com/fact-checking-the-so-called-fact-checkers/ alternatives. Mostly about the other Mitragynas, Combretum and so on. Next chapter is about the indoor cultivation of Kratom and how to get seeds or cuttings. There is a really large chapter about the history of kratom from the discovery of kratom by the first European explorers to the present day. I have used some of the diaries of Pieter Korthals (the discoverer of Kratom), I was in contact with a lot of museums and have used a quite a bit of research from university studies. In the next chapters I present a variety of kratom recipes, safer use information and the chemistry of the kratom alkaloids. Also there is a chapter about the medicinal benefits of kratom and how to use the ingredients. The Last Chapter is about the legal situation of kratom in the German speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) as well as the other European countries. I also covered the much-asked topics of http://projectgreenify.com/ and driving and how kratom is detected in drug screenings. The last point is a very tough one because there are fights especially on whether a false positive on opiates is possible because of Kratom. Everything is backed up by scientific research findings. Wherever possible I provided all the quotes from the scientific articles showing results of kratom studies. The bibliography is quite large and will be a good starting point for every kratom researcher. As soon as the book is in stores next week I will launch the website http://www.azcsf.org/ ,There will be the complete bibliography to download (for nerds) and all the pictures in high resolution as well as many extras. Everything completely free.     KS: Is Kratom legal in Germany? DN: Yes it is completely legal for now. But vendors can not advertise kratom it as a product that has any medical or cosmetic value. So most of the time you will get it as dye or as incense, with a label on it that says “not for human consumption”. But to be honest, i am afraid there is a chance that kratom will be prohibited eventually. Germany is still not that liberal in comparison to other European countries like the Netherlands or Portugal. So far we luckily had no deaths or accidents blamed http://azcsf.org/ that have became largely public, according to the website , http://www.carlyforamerica.com/.  as soon as that changes there will be bad kratom press . Fortunately there is an attempt to found a Kratom Association comparable to the AKA. Some vendors and kratom users want to regulate the sales of kratom and to gather funding to challenge the possible ban. If you are interested in that topic as well, then let me know. I am involved in funding this association, but we are still at the very beginning, and there is not much to tell other than you already know.
