I saw a youtube-video (from *snip*)
Some vendors sell 50x kratom extracts or highly concentrated full spectrum kratom extract liquids.
When I believe what the man tells me in the video, this is not possible or not useful.
The speaker starts the video with the following words:
Why should it be not possible to make extracts more concentrated than 20:1?
If would take 20 grams of kratom to make a water extraction and would boil in the solution, then the resulting residue would be more than 1 gram and it would be impossible to concentrate it more than this? Is this true?
It seems that the most concentrated extracts that you can buy in Germany/Asutria/Netherlands are 15x extracts but I found some 50x extracts on US American vendors' websites.
Is this is just a waste of money or do those 50x extracts have the promised effects?
I read some reviews on liquid kratom extracts and most people who bought that stuff wrote, that it is good but actually not worth the money and it would be better to buy good kratom and to make an own tincture.
And is it really true that the body can only absorb limited amounts of kratom alkaloids?
I know that a lot of people say that taking too much kratom does not result in getting higher but in getting sick and starting to vomit.
But while there are people who tell that they use maybe 5 gram to get a good effect, others tell that they need at least 20-30 gram in order to feel anything.
So where would be the limit how much kratom alkaloids can be absorbed?
Some clinical studies were made with kratom or different kratom alkaloids. I searched pubmed/medline and found some results. Most trials were made with guinea-pigs or rats and not with humans.
And I could not find anything that would prove this statement on kratom alkaloid absorption limits. But maybe it is there and i just have not found it.
Does anybody know more about this topic?
Any personal observations on kratom alkaloid absorption limits? Or experiences with making highly potent kratom extracts?

The speaker starts the video with the following words:
The effects of kratom on the human brain and body are caused by over 25 alkaloids found in the plant. To have a full spectrum of alkaloids the highest possible ratio of extraction is 20:1. Any more than this is either marketing hype or will be inferior as only certain alkaloids would have been isolated. The human body can only absorb limited amounts of kratom alkaloids. So even if it were possible to make extract with a greater than 20:1 ratio, it would have no greater effect.
