I took 3 grams to see if I would have any bad reactions. A comment on the taste though. I found that it was easy to eat the powder. People say it's really bitter, but I'm used to Yerba Mate, Calea Zacatechichi, and a bunch of other really bitter herbs.
I have UEI from the original vendor and 500 mg is active for me. Considering I take 30 times that of plain leaf, that's pretty impressive. I've had weaker UEI from other sources, but it's definitely wise to start low with this stuff.
does anyone else notice intense headaches during the comedown of taking kratom? after like two hours of feeling okay, i usually have a gigantic headache and feel super drained, regardless of what dose i take.
Is there any kind of scale in particular you'd recommend? (Not sure if saying the name of a scale is brand discussion, might be...)
Fwiw, I would use a scale for UEI, not because if you're a hundred milligrams off its going to make you sick, but if you want to take 500mg, taking 600 every time is a money waste. It'll add up, and just raise your tolerance faster than it would if you were taking less. It's more of an economic thing, really.
I think calling UEI and FST extracts should be avoided, they're not really.
