Kratom products have become very popular over a short time. Although, the western population may think of kratom as some new invention or discovery, for Southeast Asian people, it is almost a household name, and people use its leaves for many recreational purposes. The tree is mainly present in Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia, and other surrounding islands. Fundamentally, its leaves have only three variants. However, the massive demand in the western market has made cultivators create new variants. As of now, there are so many variants that it’s not possible to count them by hand. These variants mainly differ in potency; otherwise, it is used as a stimulant and pain reliever. The red dragon strain holds a unique place among all these different strains. This variant directly comes from Red Vein, and with its powerful, long-lasting effects, has gained a broad fan base.

What Is Red Dragon Kratom?

The Red Dragon Kratom has its roots probably in Thailand or Malaysia. However, it is predominantly cultivated in Thailand due to the optimum environment and soil condition. The Red Dragon has mood-enhancing and powerful stimulating effects due to its high quantity of alkaloids. The presence of alkaloids makes it a perfect choice for local farmers who prefer this variant for relaxing after a day full of work. Native people either chew its leaves directly or boil the leaves in the water, just like tea leaves.

One can take the Red Dragon strain in many ways; some are more interesting than others. Interestingly, it is a close relative of the coffee plant, which also gives it its stimulating properties. Let’s see the top 5 exciting ways to use the Red Dragon strain:

Take It With Any Beverage:

One of the simplest yet one of the most exciting ways to take this drug is with water or any other beverage. Kratom powder is the most widely and readily available product. In this method, you need to take the required quantity of its powder and mix it well in your choice of beverage and drink that. This method is relatively fast and convenient; moreover, it doesn’t require special preparation.

In its natural form, it has a grassy or rustic taste. The only downside with it is that you will get the taste of it in most liquids, which many people don’t like. To counter this, many people use tea enhancers to mask bitterness. Some of the popular flavors to mask the bitterness of Kratom in tea are vanilla, masala, raspberry, and citrus Kratom tea. Apart from these flavors, fruit juice or coffee can also trick.

The “Toss N’ Wash” Way:

Kratom Powder is the easiest way to customize Kratom ingestion. It helps in the proper mixing of powder. The “Toss N’ Wash” is another way to take its powder, where users first toss the powder into their mouth and then immediately gulp it with water. Meanwhile, swishing it around the mouth for about 10 seconds before gulping down the powder is mandatory. Once done with swallowing for the first time, take a second sip to wash down the remaining powder that may have stuck in your food pipe.

Many people prefer the “Toss N’ Wash” as it is quick and delivers the product directly to the system. However, it may cause some discomfort at first but gets okay with time.

Taking Kratom Powder In Food:

While taking its powder with liquids is common, it isn’t the only option. A large number of people also mix its powder in their food. Apart from masking the taste, it also helps with side effects such as nausea due to sudden kick-in.

Taking it with food items like yogurt does an excellent job of hiding the flavor and giving the food nutrients. Trying Red Dragon Kratom with different food items is fun, and many people love to do experiments with it. Tons of recipe tutorials are available on social media platforms for preparing Kratom-infused food, such as cookies, soups, and overnight oats.

Taking Kratom Powder As Capsules:

Red Dragon Kratom capsules are the best when it comes to discreteness. Moreover, capsules are far more accessible and don’t need any preparation. Just take one and gulp, no water or any other liquid to mask the bitterness or flavor. Besides, it’s much easier to measure the dosage with capsules because each capsule comes with an exact amount of its powder. There are many brands in the market selling Kratom capsules online and offline.

The only downside of having Kratom capsules is that it takes much longer to kick in the effects. In the stomach, the capsule gets digested, then the stomach walls absorb its powder, and the effects start to occur.

Taking Kratom In The Form Of Tinctures And Extracts:

While it has stimulating effects in low dosage, it can sedate the users in higher dosage. Over time, many people build tolerance, and for them, the safest options are tinctures and extracts. These are the concentrated forms of liquid Kratom in which the Red Dragon leaves are submerged in alcohol for weeks. Submerging in alcohol breaks down the organic compounds of leaves without hampering the alkaloid buildup. This way, the resultant liquid is concentrated Kratom.

While tinctures may be the most concentrated option, they are equally hard on the taste buds. So, instead of taking it orally, experts advise taking it with some tasty food or beverage.

Summary:

Kratom is available in many different forms, mainly prepared from dried leaves. Most manufacturers use Kratom powder to infuse it into different treats and beverages.
