I think i've settled on some good old bali.
Plain crushed leaf, a dependable supplier with great prices quality, a good coffee grinder, and some yoghurt is all i need.
Found my strain i'm going to build my multi kilo stash up on. Coincidentally, the strain that really made me apprecciate kratom, before i forgot about if for a few years.
Maeng Da is nice and all, but the best functional kratom, that has the perfect balance of euphoria/energy/sedation/pain relief is bali, imho.
Long day at work, and 2g of plain leaf in 6oz of youghurt is not only easy to get down, its a taste i've began to apprecciate. All the back/muscle pain goes away, and i'm not nodding off, or inhibited at all much, with a bit of magnesium as well too.
And higher doses are the occasional treat, that really hits the spot, i swear magnesium/kratom is the best anti-depressant i've ever had.
Quick HR tip btw-
Take magnesium (preferably citrate powder, dissolved in water) with your kratom powder. Kratom leaf has a bit of oxylates, and co-administration of magnesium helps prevent calcium oxylate crystals (kidney stones) from forming in your kidneys. Magnesium oxylate is something like 500x more soluble in urine, and a study done has shown that almost all the people with kidney stones tested, were magnesium deficient.
