Does anyone know the needed dose of powder Kratom that would be comparable to a single kratom extract shot? Trying to make the swap to begin a taper

KRAtom dosage ?

Kratom extract shots differ wildly in potency...
Most contain about 5-15g worth of kratom in a single bottle.
Most kratom contains anywhere from 0.8-2% mitragynine per gram.... so 100mg of mitragynine would be roughly equivalent to 7-15g of powdered kratom. OPMS black shots contain 160mg of mitragynine iirc....
however, powdered kratom tends to be stronger because many of the miscellaneous psychoactive alkaloids are stripped out during the extraction process.... but it also comes with a lot more side effects if you take large doses in attempts to get really high.
Look, just start with 4g and go from there. Kratom powder is significantly different than extracts, different dosing, etc.

Ok I do typically a black opms in the am and two gold throughout the rest of the day is there a specific strand that would help with the jump? Sorry I’m not familiar with anything other than the shots
You'd need alot of powder to replicate those shots.
But even still, the powder doesn't feel like the shots. If you were to take the equivalent amount of powder in terms of mitragynine content of an OPMS black shot, you'd probably get sick due to the nausea caused by all the other other alkaloids. The extract shots don't contain the full spectrum of alkaloids that the powder has, so they feel quite different.
That said I'd start with Red Bali powder in capsule form (gagging on large amount of powder will turn you off from it real quick). Maybe start with 6 grams of red bali per dose and go up from there. For me, while im fine with the extract shots, if I were to take an equivalent amount of regular kratom, the dizziness would be overpowering.

I'd strongly urge anyone using extracts to try and switch to powder during their daily use, while keeping extract shots for special occasions.
Generally speaking, I use 2-4g of powder, shaken vigorously in a jar with either lemonade or almond milk/coffee. Sometimes on the weekends as a treat I will split an OPMS shot with my wife, mixed into hot water "Warm Kray". It keeps the shots as like a nice treat, while allowing for relatively moderate tolerance issues.
I also find with kratom if I stop noticing effects, I can cut down my dose a bit and I will get a slightly different profile of effects, while also minimizing the urge to redose/feelings of discomfort if I'm traveling and don't have access for an extended period.
Try to keep your daily dosing under 10gs if possible.

How do you measure capsules I have red Mali but only shows a serving size of 2 capsules
Capsules are generally 500mg or .5 grams per capsule.
