If you love coffee, then you might want to try kratom if you haven’t already! Kratom and coffee are both members of the Rubiaceae plant family. You can use white kratom as a coffee substitute or create your own kratom infused lattes.
Similarities Between Kratom and Coffee
- Both have alkaloids. Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is the main alkaloid in coffee and stimulates the central nervous system. Kratom’s two main alkaloids are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. Mitragynine is associated with increasing alertness similar to caffeine’s effects, but it does not cause the drastic effects that coffee has on some heavy coffee drinkers. Both caffeine and mitragynine can support energy levels and alertness. Kratom users do not experience the equivalent of the extremes such as a “caffeine crash” or jitters from too much caffeine.
- Both have a bitter flavor. Some people love a tart taste while others dislike it. The good news is that you can doctor up your drink (whether it contains coffee, kratom or a blend of both) with your favorite flavorings whether you are trying to mask the taste or enhance its earthy notes. You can have a lot of fun making personalized concoctions.
- Coincidentally some of the more prized Kratom and coffee strains are grown in the same Southeast Asian regions.
Why Kratom is a Good Replacement for Coffee
Kratom users report that they do not experience the caffeine crash that coffee gives them.They get a boost from kratom that is long lasting without the negative aspects of caffeine. High quality coffee may be a suitable choice for lots of morning beverage lovers, but many people find Kratom more beneficial than coffee.
Selecting premium Kratom may be generally more healthy than many popular coffee brands that may contain additives, preservatives and contaminants that you will not find in Kats Botanicals Kratom products. Kats follows a rigorous testing protocol in which Kratom products must meet the safety and quality standards at the critical manufacturing points. Testing is conducted by independent, third party labs to ensure compliance.
Optimizing Kratom’s Benefits
You can potentiate or enhance the potency of kratom powder especially if you want quicker effects or stronger sensation. Apple cider vinegar and certain spices like turmeric and cayenne pepper can enhance the taste and effectiveness of kratom.
