The Science Behind Kratom Potency
•KO Kratom Education
Kratom, derived from the Mitragyna speciosa tree, has gained popularity for its varied effects. The potency of kratom is primarily determined by its alkaloid content, specifically mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
Understanding Alkaloids
Alkaloids are naturally occurring organic compounds that contain at least one nitrogen atom. In kratom, mitragynine is the most abundant alkaloid, responsible for many of the plant's characteristic properties.
